    There's a fair old bit of work admin to do: banking comes first, then whichever seems most urgent from deconstructing the therapy room to researching new therapists for a particular client, plus tax returns, blahbitty blah.
    Boring. Go and beat the cr*p out of the foam :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Thanks Verbatim! Hope you're having a lovely holiday out there :)

    Well, I looked at the foam, to beat it senseless sort of thing, and you know what, it just wasn't there :rotfl: so instead I *did* do the banking, and took the cuddly toys to a charity shop. Not sure if they're acceptable, but they can throw them if not, obvs.

    Checked yesterday's drying, did the curtains :) and they're out there, sorted a few craft stores, and my changebox for use with peeps who still paid in cash.

    And thats it, I'm shattered ;) it's the comedown. I need a nice long rest now ... and funnily enough, now I'm retired, I can do that :)
