I've not had my bath ... and I've not done anything except rotate washing on the maiden infront of the fire
I'm loving the Christmas 2007 thread though and I'm looking at earning websites while I'm sitting here so it's not as if I've wasted the morning...much :rotfl: I need to get the washing dry as I need to do another load of washing :rolleyes: I daren't put it out on the line though as its sharp heavy showers here and although the sun keeps coming out it's only briefly :mad: Still listening to Jive Bunny though :xmastree: :rotfl::rotfl:
Right, off to rotate some more and then have a look at "shop & Scan" :wave:Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!0 -

Well, I'm not getting anywhere today. Just rushed out and grabbed the washing when it chucked down with rain but the sky is turning blue again so I might get it out again.
I still haven't vacuumed. I thought I'd watch Corrie first from last night and then the phone rang three times and the Avon lady came and then I had to ring Churchill about our car.
So I must get going. But I really don't feel like it. Missing my daughter (who's on holiday)0 -
I think I have figured this out finally:o0

Nope I was wrong didn't figure it out
Anyway there are my lo's.
