  • Summermoon - good luck today with giving up the poison sticks - remember to put away the money you would have spent into a pot and watch it build up by magic!
    I'd rather be watching CSI!

    Just been looking online for bedlinen etc for the new house, and have decided that Asda have some really nice bedlinen in at the moment, so we'll be taking a trip over there tonight after dinner. Our local one is over 10 miles away, but it's a superstore, so will be nice to have a look around anyway. Have also seen some nice wallpaper in laura ashley which I fancy for the study:

    seagull wallpaper for study Hope this works - wasn't sure how to do hyperlinks on here so did it in word and copied over. I'd put it on the wall with the window on it, cos then I'll be looking at it from my desk and it'll cheer me up in the winter.
    I also like this one living room wallpaper for the chimney breast in the living room as our sofa is a stone colour and I think this'll go well - will need to look at them in the flesh though.

    What do you think?

    Best get a wriggle on, as salsa aerobics starts in half an hour, and I've got to get into my gym stuff.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

  • Have had a slow start this morning, just been mooching around, not very often on my own, but I am now in the mood to fly:j

    Love the wallpapers sexymouse.

    I am going to venture in to dd's bedroom first, it is already tidy, so just some cleaning for me. If I get a skate on i may get it done before I take car to garage.

    I am going to attack ds's windows and shelves. and hoover all of upstairs.

    I will return, hopefully not at late as I did last night.:D


    My finances are work in progress.
    Normal veiwing will resume shortly
