Helping out...and writing on the wall...
Hi All, Hope you are well, despite the very cold weather. North Yorkshire is bitterly cold tonight! I had a very busy weekend helping my son and daughter-in-law move house which took up most of Saturday and Sunday, and then I helped them out again last night (Tuesday). Their new home is finally looking fabulous and almost all of the boxes have been unpacked and things put away, hung on walls...or else...thrown out!

I am now so thankful that my bathroom sink is really close up to the loo! 'Twas an experience

Diets...and other failed nonsense!!
Hi all, Here I am, back again in Blogland!! So, what's been going on in my life? I may ask myself the same question! The answer to that would be not very much of anything! It's been a bit quiet, not much of anything to report really! The diet was going well, until my colleague turned up to work yesterday with the most delicious lemon drizzle cake ever!
