    I haven't kept up with the thread this week but I did see Pigpen's video, cracked me up, so adorable!

    I am off on holiday today and usually my house is a bomb site before I go away and when I get back. I have almost everything cleaned and organised, all clothes are washed and put away and now I just have packing and errands to run in the car this afternoon.

    Big thanks to everyone on this thread that helps with the lists, gives me sometime to read that is usually very enjoyable and generally is just motivational and kind! :)

    I will be back in a week or so :)
