I think it's mainly photos which are clogging it up now. Amazing how quickly it all gets filled though!
BTW I had an Indian on Saturday night and it came with a couple of pots of chopped onions and tomatoes. They've been in the fridge since then and I'm wondering if I can use them in my soup today. I'm not going to poison anyone am I? Especially as they'll be fried and then boiled.Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

I am going to ask Dad if he can give me a hand getting the tree out of the loft so that we can decorate it this weekend. Think realistically that will be the first chance we get.Official Mascot and Chief Cheerleader for the 'Mortgage Free in Three' Gang0

Morning all
I'll be thinking about your friend Sarah.
Hope you have a peaceful day Michelle.
How's Megan today lil-me?
OK, two loads of washing done including my bedding. All hung indoors so far, it's lovely and sunny but a hard frost so I don't think it would dry. We'll see how it looks later.
I've dusted and polished the living room and my bedroom and dusted the tops of the doors etc. upstairs. Also dusted the top of the bathroom cabinet (which is thick with dust every week?) and round the light fittings etc.
When DD2 gets up (day off work and still not well) I'll put the vacuum round upstairs. I still can't do her room or the spare room because of all the packing to move but I can do mine and the landing and toilet/bathroom floors.
This afternoon we're going to her new flat to get the new home walkthrough. I'm under orders to look at everything very carefully and listen to how things work. I think I'm the wrong person to ask.
My computer updated this morning too. I've got it set up to tell me when there are updates but I have to click to install them. It took absolutely ages to download and install them this morning but it finally did it and I've restarted.

Hi All again.... :wave:
Back from dog walking. DD3 drove me to the brink of insanity this morning. Probably what I need to distract me! :rolleyes:
I'm going to make loads of school lunches for the freezer now, cos I'm out of everything.
Thanks everyone again, for all your thoughts, it means an awful lot at a difficult time.
See you later

Hi there,
Just popping on to say hi. Me and DS STILL got colds- seems to be dragging on so much. Still DS is my little star and I don't mind looking after him though, through the snot and drivel! It was nice having DH to help out at the weekend, giving me a chance to rest a bit, but tbh I cannot really ask him to do more at nights as he works so hard during the day (controversial though it might be I think that during the week DS is really my 'job' and we share at weekend, although DH often bathes DS!). Anyway got all the cleaning done yesterday, so am pleased with that, today will just be doing washing/folding/hanging up etc, maybe write some more cards (finished making them last night), start wrapping, and maybe baking. Also put the tree up last night so might make some dough decorations for that too.
Ok, toodle pip for now.
