Oh my word, ladies, a big group hug, and extra hugs to ASB, YL, Piggers, Ionafan and Dizzy xx
Congratulations to Mr Pigpen too.
I’ve been lurking for a couple of days, as absolutely diddly squat flying to report. Last night I made the effort to load the wm, and this morning I duly forgot to turn it on. So….wm x 1 just finished, dinner concocted out of bits in the fridge, kitchen tidied, pack up made. Busy, busy days at work. My car problems are still there, so I am driving DH’s car while he is still allowed to wfh. Car is booked into the garage for next week, but I’m not holding out much hope that they will diagnose the real problem, but it will definitely be serious and so expensive. We are talking faulty clutch here.No plans to do anything else for the evening. I started some knitting with some wool that I had stashed, and got frustrated with the pattern so pulled that apart. Easier pattern now started, so we will see. If it works, it might be DSis’s birthday present.8 -

Morning all
Feeling OK this morning, Hope today is a better day for you all.
Yoga done (knee has been sore so not doing anything strenuous), Paid stuff to do and I am in the office but I am taking my walking boots and a change of clothes so I can go for a short walk before I come home.
There are bits of flying to do but not had much chance this week, will need to catch up before things start to go downhilll.
Have been brave and booked to go out with my cycling group on Sunday, weather permitting. I always get nervous about it but then enjoy it when I get there.
Shower, coffee, breakfast, then off to work. Have a good Thursday all x11 -
Morning,
Yesterday evening OH sorted downstairs loo mechanism and I also gave it a good clean so not looking too bad in there. It does need a coat of paint as I stripped the wallpaper off a few months ago.
I need to have a quick tidy round the kitchen and WU, apparently cat peed in DD1 room and I have to clean it up, it's her cat! And she is 26!
Cupboard under the downstairs loo washbasin is empty so I will give it a quick clean and then sort what goes back into it, and use up all the odd 'miracle' cleaning products that I've bought over the years.
Shopping needed too.
Right, time to find a SMILE, have some breakfast and get a move on.
Bed made, clothes picked up
Banking & spreadsheets checked
