    Morning all

    Just checking in thought we've decided to go out for a walk today so I'll possibly fly when we get back and maybe tomorrow, though we thought we might go to church then it's lunch at the in laws.

    I do need to get a birthday card for my godson, seen a present in woolworths and I also need an advent calendar - ideally a non chocolate nativity one - has anyone seen any around?

    Hugs and smiles to all who need them

    Mrs OJ is at work all day today the she has 20 min at home before taking to eldest out to cinema this eve for oldests birthday treat..:eek:

    So MY plans are

    Tidy kitchen (done) :A

    Living room (done):A

    Study area (done):A

    Hall ( well it aint ever going to be perfect)..:p

    Just the bedrooms upstairs now (DD1's bedroom is downstairs and she is doing that)..

    The real problem is our bedroom...we dont really have enough storage for all the clothes both us and kids so it ends up in piles on our floor which slowly merge into one huge pile....

    NO SNOW HERE!!!
    Morning everyone, sorry I haven't time to read all past posts but big hugs to anyone feeling down.

    DH has just left for Bury St Edmunds as he is border morris dancing there this morning/lunchtime. Has promised to be back by 3pm so we can leave for Canterbury. Staying there over night as we are going to an Oysterband gig there tonight. Hoping to meet up with a crowd of friends in a pub before the gig.

    So my morning will now be spent doing the dreaded housework....oh what joy!!!

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.
