    That's me done for now. Made a big dent in the list so far. I just hope that I keep it up when I get back.

    Off for a shower and to get dressed then off to town. See you all about lunchtime ish.

    Morning all! :hello:

    Today I need to do the usual washing machine, dishwasher and putting the dry clothes away. However I then need to clear everything I moved into the kitchen and dumped on the table and ironing board back into the study! Have a couple of shelves to dismantle as well as at the moment I have nowhere for them to go.

    Think my plan will be to do a HH and then do some jewellery. I really want to get some bits finished as some friends are waiting for pictures and anything extra I can get towards Christmas presents all helps! Also then I'll feel like I'm actually helping with the finances rather than just constantly spending :rotfl:

    nicki - I grind my teeth from time to time and well and wake up for jaw ache! Take something for it :)

    Mudbath - I sympathise with the spots, I'm 31 but not ill and still get spots! I thought I'd grow out of it when my teens were behind me.

    Pink Fairy - having a bench is great! Just need to keep it clear :rotfl: They seem to do a fair bit about the wars at my children's school, at least big girl seems to know a lot about it and I don't think it's just from me.

    likklegibbon - firemen...mmmm I'm jealous! ;)

    BTW is there a thread on here about treats I can make for the children? Things like brioche buns etc I can give them in the morning when it's too late for breakfast or something for them after school. Something different to fairycakes!
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

  • Pigpen - I've had mine, and results back all clear. Unfortunately, I have to keep taking DD to Colcoscopy every 6 months, so everyone make sure you have your checks!

    Nicki - big hugs, hope the face ache settles and today is not as bad as you are expecting.

    I think I might just start writing my Christmas cards!;)
