    You just know this made me snigger inappropriately, yes?! 


    you were not the only one :)

    I need to remember that I shouldn't have a cup of coffee on the go at the same time as reading the forums or my keyboard will encounter 'splashback'. LOL
    Irrigating the sinuses is supposed to see off colds, though whether coffee works as well as saline spray I'm not sure.

    That’s a ‘quality of life’ parking payment! Spend the money for the sake of your physical and mental health! <wags finger in a motherly way at Cheery> 😊

    Good luck with knocking the list back. It will make you feel better to have it back under control again. No possibility of delegating any of it?

    I'm currently home sick with Covid (since last Tuesday), I can confirm that it's not helping...
