My biarthday was great thanks. Unfortunately I went in hospital for an overnight minor procedure a few days later. A blood transfusion & eight days later I came out. I am not going near a hospital ever again. Seriously I am absolutely fine now but after 3 days nil by mouth & then the really awful food I was beginning to lose my temper.
Sorry to unload on you but I have been trying to keep most of it from DS, who despite normally needing reminding of eveerything actually checked the diary & put out the bins on time. So another win.

Did nine vinted listings and Mr PIP did a survey and now we are going to have chippy chips to see the Easter weekend out right.
Absolutely determined to start the official working week smashing it with build admin and productivity. Won't be easy since we accidentally relaxed and the last half a decade of exhaustion tried to catch up with us but it will have to get back in its box!
I am going to need a very motivating outfit and perfume... 🥂
