Stealing Sunday .....

So I have just finished 4 loads of washing, cooked a lazy noodle tea, unpacked from the weekend and sorted 89 emails - oh the joys of no internet for 4 days ..... thought I'd do something a little lighter now.....

Stumbled across this blog some time ago and have been meaning to link up .... so here is my Stealing Sunday....

Well .... idiotic not so much but last night Lee and I had a few drinks, danced like there was no tomorrw, sang loud and bad - feeling pretty shabby today but that's part of the fun!
