    All sounding good KC and thanks for the cake :beer:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Morning lovely peeps :)

    Yep, really hot showers after mould are the way to go, aren't they :)

    Absolutely **freezing** here today, I feel like apologising for being retired :rotfl: but I won't :rotfl:

    So, situation is good: dw is on, wm ready, house is fairly clean, mould is gone, cooked beans in the fridge, plenty of green veg in the freezer, rubbish to go to the tip slowly being collected from the back garden ready for my brother's visit down here with another van full of stuff, at the end of this month. Even SB is cooperating: £20 Amazon vouchers received, and thanks to recent efforts, another £40 has just been ordered :beer: plus I've started on another one. I need to replace my kindle, its slowly dying, and I want to be able to take it on the cruise. Amazon vouchers will do nicely for that :)

    Otherwise - I could clean the bathroom. I really could, and it isn't "fairly clean" as the rest of the house :p. I could also do some more transcribing old letters while scanning financial docs before I shred them. That works for me.

    I'm catching up :j

    I shall write a *little* more carefully :)

    I did the transcribing-while-scanning thing, then did some weeding in the garden - three sets of bramble roots, and a whole lot of other stuff, went the way of the dodo :) I even got a big load of washing half dried on the line - its draped all over the house at the moment.

    My next visit to Westeros is this evening :)

    Gosh, well done on the gardening and line drying. Its Baltic here so I've dashed from house to car and vice versa! I did get wrapped up and volunteered to go out on duty today so those with wellies could play in the snow. Lovely to see them running around and having fun without a device in sight :)

    Enjoy your GOT night xx
