    - clean bedroom rugs
    done! Beaten, in fact :D the old fashioned way.

    - clean loo
    done! I should have said this was springcleaning, not regular cleaning :p:o

    - laundry load
    Almost dry

    - follow up letter to NHS complaint
    Not touched it, and I really thought I would. Not going to do it today.

    - email Egyptology
    Yes - will rejoin after I retire :j

    - pay credit cards
    Yes, easy peasy. And I sent £100 to savings :j

    - ask my new website host to do their thing to get my blog onto the new hosting.
    Yes. Takes a little while.

    - finish drafting another blog post
    Done 800 words, so not finished (Mrs E described what I write as articles, and thats accurate :D) but on the way.

    - pick either the blackcurrant or the rhubarb. How close is the rhubarb to collapsing? Have the ants disappeared from the blackcurrants yet (after DE dusting)?
    Yes :j Ants are still on the blackcurrant, but I can pick quite a few before they get onto me :D I'll give it another go after a rest :rotfl:

    Nay lass, of course not. The hosting was chosen in conjunction with expert advice from Mrs E on here - tsohost, £15 for a year for two websites - you can't monetise and sell much if you don't do your own hosting, which I never quite clicked to :o

    Sorry you've been under the weather - thats with The Device? Ug :( Hope you feel better soon - if you can bear to harvest the fruit, it will be very yummy :) I need to help the raspberry canes along, actually, some of the fruits are white, its like a funny sort of fungus or mould or something.

    Thanks Goldie! Yep, I'm really pleased - lots of stuff took longer than I thought, and I did the blog copying as well in case something goes wrong, but I've done a good amount *and* got lots of fresh air too :)
    I've added a new page to my blog today - finally taken the leap of faith! :eek: just got a million and one other things to do for it now ;)
    Thats good! I've got quite a few drafts building up, and ideas for two more pages (and possibly a third too) but when you're in it for the long haul, you can afford to test it out and make sure.

    Blackcurrant and raspberries are sitting in the freezer - got to find out how to top and tail ... I can't remember! And the weather looks v. dodgy, I'm getting the washing in *now* before it does something I'll regret :)

    Actually, like you and she said, it was shattering :o plus I've had two nights of *really* bad sleep. Three hours of work today (one of those is on the phone, so I'll be sitting in the armchair resting my head) ... I hope I can do that letter I did yesterday, and the rhubarb will be easy to harvest, but thats it! Lack of sleep, grrr.

    All's well otherwise tho :j and I've taken down my ebay offerings cos I'm awa' very soon :D

    Aha, thanks for explaining the web hosting! I hadn't clicked that either :o

    And yes, under-the-weather-ness caused by The Device (which is now ejected and in the dustbin, thank goodness) so I shall be merrily picking and jamming this weekend :j :j Have a good day and rest as much as you can! :kisses3:
