No Show this week

Once again I'm bailing out. I just dont have the energy. This weekend I've had to lay a floor and put up two beds, a quick splash of paint on the walls and rehang two coat hook thingies, and spend a total of ( my goodness ) 8 hours on shopping trips.

So in summary I'm beat and I'm going to spend the last few hours of the weekend sitting and moaning about how this kind of work was easier when I was younger. :)
