Wendy I'm sure your friend is coming to see you and not your house. Hugs, most of us may have felt like that though x
Everyone was up here by 6am. I'm flagging already. Wm is on.
I'm off to find my list x0 -
Morning all, dry here at the moment but I'm not expecting it to last. Bad start to the day, row with DD and spilt tea everywhere.
Anyway, couple of jobs to do in the kitchen, will then do master bedroom list, hoover downstairs and walk the dogs before the paid stuff.
Have a great day everyone.Spend less now, work less later.0 -
Morning all - bad night and not 'cos of tooth which seems - touch wood OK - no pain now.
I must admit to being in a total twizzle re this Cryptolocker and Gameover Zeus bug thingies. Our new laptop decided to turn into a flashing belisha beacon last night so cannot access internet through that. Old one won't update properly so although we have good and updated security I can't trust it. Think today I am going to go back to old school and do passbook accts for everything - then when all has quietened down and new laptop replaced (under warranty) can decide what to do. Was intending doing some sorting in a month or so anyway!!! UPDATE - have suspended all my online banking

Morning
Another who didnt sleep very well due to OHs non-stop coughing. I am just really hoping I dont catch his cold! Car went into the garage yesterday and they didnt finish it so I am relying on OH for a lift to work this morning. Voluntary job this aft so I am not going to get much flying done today but we will see.
Rain forecast this afternoon - again - but tomorrow looks better. I am keeping on top of the washing by drying it on my heated airer. May leave our sheets until the weekend.
Fingers crossed that the car isnt toooo expensive. Have a good day all x0 -
