    :)

    Today I'm stepping into Mhoc's shoes & sofa :D & sorting through all the household paperwork that is in a 8 year old pile on my industrial sewing machine :o:o
    We got out incinerator back from DS so we can have a good fire later :D
    I've just read Call The Midwife & that prompted me to borrow the first series DVD - so that is how I will pass the time sorting & watching :)

    tweets - snotty :( :A

    You are more than welcome to visit. :D
    Nice pile of ironing to do, dinner to make, cleaning etc and if you have a spare few minutes, do a waities shop for me (5 for £7 will be ending soon and local keeps running out of the meatballs) and do some jobs at the lottie. TIA :D
