    A very productive day today, popped car in for it’s service and walked the two miles back, hoovered and cleaned, did the ironing 🎉🎉🎉 visited DM with DD who dropped me off at the garage to pick up my car then cut the grass and weeded. The ironing in particular has been sitting for ages, every week I wear two or three items that need ironed so I have been putting them in a cupboard and putting the rest away but I was at the stage I was running out of clothes, it’s been a couple of months 😂
