Haha I did all my carried bags the other day. I came home and found them all over the floor, carefully undone by Jelly... :rotfl: - so I did them all again! Amazing how much space it saves!
And you're welcome. I had never heard of them either but Spotify shoved them onto a random playlist and I heard 'My name is Noah...' and tuned my ears in
. Very nice song!
Big hugs!! Slow and steady wins the race well done on the car insurance!!! xxx

Morning DFW
I would do too, but I am good at starting things like that and then not finishing - office started in easter hols is chaos as I took everything out but its not all gone back
because other things and priorities get in the way. Juggling the self employment plus 3 part time jobs means no real routine , but will get there in the end;):rotfl:
