    I bought some fab clips from Dunelm that help you put duvet covers on easily as I'm hopeless. Although any clips would do the same job to be honest. You put the top corners in the cover, put the clips on then straighten it out. Really useful.

    Hope you get the sun soon, beanie.

    Hmmm to pondering yoga. As for the driving - safety first. And you're entitled to look after your own needs you know, even in relation to your mum's worry - she'd worry *more* if you did yourself an injury, believe me! Just concentrate on having a positive time for yourself - its a bank holibob. :)

    If you feel up to it go to yoga. It is one of those things you never regret doing after it is done, but only if you are up to it. either way have a sunny day :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

    Have spoken to my mum & I am not going to go.
    It is only 5 minuets for her but 25 minutes for me.
    Best to be honest with her I suppose.
