    Morning TC,

    I can't believe just how similar our postings are !!! I am just about to post almost the very same :)

    Well nearly :o didn't set the alarm, washed up or bottles in to soak, but have had a cuppa :)

    Worked all weekend, going to post some items sold, sort some rooms out and put washing on, not venturing near the loft, it was -5 here last night, so up there will be freezing :snow_laug:snow_laug brrrr, not snow but everything outside is white with frost, and anyway don't have much space up there (quite a lot there, already):o

    I do have a tidy bedroom though, can't say the same for the spare, or tip rooms, so will be working on them today.

    Hope you have a great day and get things sorted, I find I put off jobs only to find once I start them they only take a couple of hours at most. :)

    Hey lovely. I hope you managed to get everything done. I’ve had such a busy day! I haven’t stopped until 9pm when I had a quick metal and went for a bath. I think I’ll be going to work tomorrow for a rest! :rotfl:
    I have achieved loads! I even took the vacuum cleaner up to the loft to get rid of masses of cobwebs!
    Now having a well earned cuppa xx

    Thanks jwil. Looking after my grandchild this morning whilst DD goes for her scan. :j
    Obviously, not just chilling.
    This morning I’m:
    Doing 5 loads of washing
    Washing up
    Feeding small child
    Tidying lounge
    Packing my weekend orders ready to post.
