    :beer: is it beer o'clock - no it's a Monday and I'm trying to be good

    Well, I have got to the end of my days list :j.

    I have completed almost everything ...... Accept for the thought diary I'm very tired I might succeed by the end of the day

    Plus the bits out of my control, not going out, accessibility line closed etc.

    So I am dead chuffed and I am off to watch a bit of tv and do some knitting as a reward.

    Hoping OH will sort supper.... Cold meat Monday, fried potatoes AND drum roll.... My home made rice pudding that I have resisted eating cold all day :rotfl::rotfl:

    Plus there is sticking bubbling on top from yesterday's chicken carcus, I've been to the composter and I've finally remembered to take my vitamins

    Onwards and upwards

    Or as my Mum would say, brush yourself down, tomorrow is another day or
    Fake it, to you Make It

  • Hey Mrs B


    You are one busy lady! Hope everything is going well with you. Well done on all your lists! I think I need to find a friend with a dog as I would happily take one for walks. I love dogs. I will have one, one day!


    Talk soon
