    I didn't get round to doing her and just wore a peg for the rest of the night!!  I should've done her as the cleaner starts today and then I won't want to do her in a sparkly clean bathroom. Quiet day so far only 28 parcels to post.

    Wonderful SH, just wonderful.  So wonderful in fact that DS1 is going to use her as well (poor soul his house is a pigsty! I have warned her)  I stayed for the first session but next week she'll be here alone.  I found it easier being on my own to clean.  Lost 1 & 3/4 LBs so pleased with that.  OH put a 1lb on (feeling smug considering last week).  I am at the point where my trousers are clinging on, I already tuck my T shirt and jumper in to keep them up (I know this sounds awful but I wear a gilet over the top so you can't see the tucked in Tess look I'm sporting)  Luckily I checked my diary last night and found that I've got my B12 jab today, hence the late start.  Finally finished a section of the stock take that was taking forever just got another lot to do and some new listings and then its done.

    Well yesterday didn't quite go to plan, in that the B12 jab didn't happen because the appointment is for this Friday.  DOH!!

    Glad to hear business is booming. Probably pointless to point out that you should try not to take on too much.🤗
