    Council tax people have signed for a letter 4 weeks ago and are claiming to have not received the information it contained.. why do I not believe them?

    Pigpen well done on talking to someone! I hope Dot feels better soon; Pixie sounds just plain adorable looking after her sister, bless her.

    LW and Dusty oh I've been where you 2 can go sometimes and it's shockingly awful. Mindfulness is a great thing and taking time out for yourself - it's not selfish, it's a necessity. Do something you enjoy - just for you. I'm always happy for anyone to PM me if they want to talk as I like to think I've moved further down that road than I was and have quite a good toolbag of MH tools which I find help me! Big but gentle hugs xx

    Dizzy new van sounds fab; I remember the A-team very well - it used to be on a Saturday teatime and my and my brother would always gulp our food down to go and watch it!

    CY have a wonderful day tomorrow out wedding dress shopping; I bet you'll have a great time but like others have said take it steady.


    Started working for new client yesterday and pleased to report she's pleased with what I did which is a relief - it's always a bit scary stepping out into the unknown and much easier to stay with what you know isn't it but I need to be bringing in more £s. Off to get hair cut and colour at 1.30; really looking forward to it as it's a real state right now.

    Flying wise - um, done some washing, another load ready, want to vacuum upstairs (when J off the phone as Dyson noisy and he's on a conference call). Did unload DW earlier. That's it folks!!

    Of course it's up to you Piggers, but if I was you I'd listen to your body and go for a snooze - just saying! Maybe later you can do some knitting and ebay selling but for now get some much needed zzzzzzzzz x

    Been to pilates, for a cuppa and to the town (banking. MD present and library). Just having a cuppa and then I'm doing an hour in the front garden, it really, really needs it!

    Flying - washing is on the line

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    One mop head completed, 2 more half done and the last one I'm trying a solution that doesn't involve velcro! Making steady progress but my fingers are getting sore so I might have to stop for a bit. If I can get this one finished then at least I'll have 2 mops to use. They get very dirty fast as Zack insists on standing on the mud to do his business and the mats I have down don't always catch everything he brings in. Add in the wet weather and DD walking through mud on her way home my floors should really be mopped daily :(
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Spent the afternoon in the front garden, it looks much tidier but I ache like anything now.

    Washing is in.

    Going to feed the mogs and do a HHC tidying and dusting as boys are still at various places so no dinner needed yet.
