Outside for a gulp of fresh air first!
Washing machine went on 3 times.
Unloaded and loaded up the dishwasher.
Now for coffee!
I have 2 and half blogs to write....
Inbetween writing them, I was trying to find a sewing pattern to make a family of seahorses that was in one of magazines that came last week!
It didn't help the pattern wasn't on the magazine's website.....
GREAT!
I had the letter finally sealing my departure from my dinnertime job \o/
 (My Christmas card list is going down faster than a ferret going down a hole!)
I'm sure another job will surface to replace it and it won't affect my stress level!
By the time dinnertime arrived, I still have Sundays blog post to write.
Oh dear the soup exploded in the microwave,
only had 1/3 of the soup left in the bowl!
Hope the day gets better....

Shopped around, and they are coming out tomorrow \o/

Tumble drier went on finally!
I carried on writing more reviews on things I bought from Amazon.

Pity really, I have been buying stuff from them for nearly 21 years!
I will wait for the emails to arrive tomorrow when my reviews go live!

Walker's success was largely in the United Kingdom, where his first four solo albums reached the top ten. He lived in the UK from 1965 and became a UK citizen in 1970.
