Morning all x
CY I hope the anti sickness drugs start to kick in soon and you feel a bit better soon xx
So far today I have drank coffee and topped up nicotine. I'd better get a shoogle on. I will start with the kitchen. HHC at 10.30 if anyone wants to join.I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged0 -
Morning all.
Hugs, sticks, spoons, vibes and wishes to all.
Its a bit chilly here today and wet so I'm struggling to find my GUAGThe dog however is running around like a lunatic chasing his toys so I think he's got my energy today :rotfl:
Last night I cleared all the hotspots downstairs and put all the stuff to go upstairs in a box along with a notepad to write todays list out and took them up at bedtime. This morning I asked DD to go in said box and bring the notebook down as I'd left it upstairs. She brought the whole box with everything still in it down! :wall:
I need to run into town on a few errands so I'm debating whether to get them all done today or leave a couple for DD and I to do next Friday. I'm going to walk there today but its currently raining so I'll have to wait to leave as its supposed to warm up and be sunny once this shower is over so I'm not putting my waterproof on as I'll cook :rotfl:
I'm working tonight, so I need to be home and we need to eat at a reasonable time. DD has plenty of homework to do so she can stay in and do that since she's off out for most of the day tomorrow. I'll probably be quicker on my own making multiple trips if necessary than taking DD since she plods slowly.
