Didn't take them long to return the old girl and vaporise the clone. Still, they seem to have recalibrated the Morrisons component - yesterday was mum's first trip out since before Christmas and not only did we finish in half the time, she bought a fair amount of food and was amenable to suggestion.

I told mum about the doctor's thinking I may have a heart murmur - she advised me to take it easy (code for 'pack in work and concentrate on looking after me'). I had a nap on her settee before going home but still felt shattered and passed on the offer of joining friends for a chinese meal. There's so much tidying up to do at home, I hope I find the energy and motivation to do it today, its beginning to get on my nerves.

I never did get round to the hoovering but I've done a few laundry loads, tidied up a bit, given away our old TV and a set of fire irons to a fellow freecycler, bought/bid for a few essential items (yes, really) on eBay and the dinner's in the oven. I'll have to eat it later because I promised mum I'd watch Dancing on Ice with her again tonight. Running out of steam now.
