WME - that's not slatternly talk!!!

TA - that's not so long, but not a great time of year! Maybe allow yourself to think of having the long fabulous summer off and wham! you'll get a job that keeps you indoors 10 hours a day...but you'll love it so it'll be OK (and hopefully have a decent holiday allowance)

Lay down for over an hour, now feel more zombie-fied tbh but hope it will help with patience later...

for you feeling blue.

Given up on my list. Fell asleep when we got back from lunch and now I'm even more dopey than before

Afternoon everyone, been busy doing nothing today if that makes sense. . My line is broken so can only hang clothes on one side, so decided to use Dss goalposts to hang sheets and towels on,was great at getting them dry though when I came back from the school run, it looked as if we were part of a gypsy camp . Cant be bothered with a list so please take my word that I did loads today!

I'm being a real slattern today

my next part of my list is

make dinner, which will have to be soup as dh has still got sore throat and can't eat, so will go and see if I have ingredients for chicken noodle & sweetcorn soup

THIS WEEK

Flame - i'm dopey too, having a quick cuppa to try and wake up.
