Hi Ladies, have been popping in and out all week - and flying most days but finding it tough to keep up with the posts-you are all so busy and yet still find time to pop in and update. I was really chuffed today as a friend who hadn't been for a while commented on how nice the house was looking - and for a bloke to notice I was amazed! So thank you Pigpen:beer: - and all you other ladies for your inspiration - I find that I use the odd few minutes before going out in the morning to do a S & S or a quick sweep -and the house really looks so much better for it and I feel much happier too - and I'm a bit more organised at work too! Got my hotspots under control and try to finish one job before I start another!!!:j

Afternoon ladies!

Read the thread this morning to catch up but didn't have time to post and now I've forgotten who I wanted to say what to and I'm too lazy to go back and check so...

Holly My DD1 was looking at this site earlier in the week, not had a good look myself but it may be cheap-ish, y'never know..http://www.createagift.co.uk/public/index.asp?purl=

Deniseflower What a fantastic picture, what a trouper your DS is to turn it all around, bet you're super proud, and rightly so x

Who had the room of doom photo? errrrrrrr

Not long back in from work so their house is spotless then I come back into mine and it looks like Basra, I think I'd kinda forgotten what it was like whilst I was swanning about with my cloth in a big posh house - but I'm not doing it till tomorrow cause A: I cannot be faffed and B: I cannot be faffed, so tomorrow it is unless I get some miracle second wind later then it may get done.

DD1 Birthday pressie arrived YAY I splashed out on this for her: (don't tell me off for wasting good money when I could have made it for half the price - I KNOW! lol) It's very pretty though....and came all wrapped up with ribbons and bows.... http://tipynbach.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=63&osCsid=136bb5f50ef628b795f58e4bd5a77f9d So, she's gonna do very well on Monday what with the other stuff we've bought her and she also wants a balloon (she's 19)

Having a cuppa then gonna take littley to her nanas for the night when she comes in from school, then gotta pop to the shops, then gotta make some tea, then gotta go do weight training for an hour, then gotta have a shower, then gotta come back home, then gonna have a sauna, then gonna have a bath, then gonna play with OH ALL NIGHT

Have managed to get a lot done today. Front room is sparkling:) I have started painting ds3 bedroom too. Will have to phone carpet people next week and get them round for a quote to replace flooring in there.

Have also started clearing out a few kitchen cupboards. The date has changed for my new kitchen to be fitted. Its now going in 6th October, so I have plenty of time to get it all cleared out. I expect there will be quite a lot of stuff to get rid of, I will keep the good stuff for a carboot and dump the rest.

Im planning on HHI this evening. Hope the weather stays nice this weekend so I can get uniforms dry quickly!

Oooooh it's very exciting having a new kitchen.

Oops! forgot I've got to make a couple of phone calls so I'll do that now, and I also forgot that I have to change my bedding today BOO HISS! Think I'll stop thinking......

Is it sad that I was watching a Markys ad last night (bring back Dervla!) and wondering if I started buying a bottle of their fizzy wine once a week between now and Christmas how many bottles would I have??? or am I just completely demented.... still on my summer hols and thinking about Christmas, someone just shoot me now.

Rubbish day on the flying front, been at the docs and dentist and library, went to visit Dad who's been really sick (but on the mend now yay) but no flying at all.

It's the last official day of my summer hols (weekend doesn't count) and the sun is out, so I'm on a protest, refusing to clean and insisted on getting taken out for dinner.
