What is it about Mondays?

I’m having a ‘Monday moment’. I woke up today feeling positive, I’m sure of it, and yet here we are at 10.50 and I can feel the creeping fingers of Monday blues dragging me into the abyss.

Calling all Domestic Goddesses!

Any chance you could grab your marigolds and race over here for a cuppa and er, a major clean of my house? My list to output ratio is looking pathetically unbalanced, and I simply cannot get it all done.  I
