Kaz - Doesn't sound good at all. Rumour mill is in overdrive. And I am praying that the rumours are not true, especially after the local paper have printed a story about someone's death.

Right breakfast eaten, about to sort out some admin for work while I wait for DD to get in/sorted & my phone to finish charging then we're off out.

Piggers I know nowt about tenancy law, but sending sort-out-heating-pronto vibes. There must be some sort of redress, even if there's no tenancy agreement, as a baby is involved.

Dusty do you remember challenging me to get the back of my waistcoat knitted by the end of November? Well, I finished the back and cast on the right front last night.:T It's slow going, as my wrists are horrible (big swollen lump on both) and knitting with splints on isn't easy; but we are gradually getting there.;)

Another change of plans! I'll just move my errands to Monday and we're going to fly today instead as the weather can't make up its mind and its showery. We can walk up to see my family later, the exercise will do us good. I can get DD's uniform washed a day early which is good, and we're going to make a start on the Christmas decorations as DD wants to help. Looks like I might get a weekend 'off' at this rate

Good morning ladies and hope you are all well,

After a spectacular failure yesterday due to a horrible headache (thanks, my dear old dog, for deciding that yesterday was also a good day to bark at every little sound/gust of wind/dust particle) I am back on board today for the dreaded spare room - AKA laundry+junk room.

Aim to:
- Declutter floor - fold and put away all laundry that has been hurled out of the tumble drier
- Go through the boxes of books set aside to go to the charity shop about 18months ago
- Empty bins
- Organise cleaning bucket that dwells there

11:00am HHC anyone?
