THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU everyone for such amazing lovely comments yesterday, I nearly fell off my proverbial chair when I saw how many of you had stopped by. I shall over the next week stop by to say thank you properly.

today I have...

tidied and cleaned the entire flat from head to toe (or should that be from ceiling to floor?)
done all the washing
made soup
made bread (onion and fennel seed, in-case you were wondering)
prepared and laid out clothes for the children to wear tomorrow (??)
thought about doing the ironing

And

DIDN'T WRITE ANY OF MY ESSAY OR DO ANY STUDYING

and now I am creeping around with the guilt of knowing that I have not made this coming week any easier, hanging over me. A day of intensive (some may go as far as to say dedicated) houseworky type activity does not somehow negate the fact that I STILL HAVE AN ESSAY TO WRITE. Bleurgh.
