    Hi Beanie :) Hope you're still nice and warm now the boiler has had a temporary fix. We've had a small flutter of snow that lasted about 5 minutes then it was gone.

    How are your muscles today? Could they loosen up themselves a little bit or do you really need the physio for that to happen? xx

    Sadly at the moment only the physio or the accapuncture help. Xx

    Sounds like the AGM went well if you were celebrating :)

    Glad you got some help with the decluttering. February feels like a good time to have a clear out with the promise of Spring in the air.

    I've also overdone it today and paying for it with an aching leg. Put your feet up and relax for a bit xx
