  • Well done CY. Big hugs xxxx

    Not much done this evening but did read to kids before bed. Dh put dw on and washed up bless him x

    Couldn't do the lunchboxes for morning because the fridge is so rammed I wouldn't be able to get them in it! Lol.

    Back to work tomorrow and have meeting with the big bosses about job (or perhaps lack of it....).

    I did lounge today so will tackle kitchen tomorrow after work I think.

    Night night all x
