    I have curtain material! It has cost a fortune, as it wasn't reduced in the sale as I had hoped, but I'm really pleased that I've now bought it. I have to buy lining locally, as it's much cheaper in The Fabric Warehouse, and thread, but otherwise, I'm ready to make them up.

    I also saved a huge £65+ - by not actually queueing up and paying for the rather nice suit that I found in Next!

    Back much, much better today, so no reason not to fly tomorrow - I'll be whizzing through from Monday's list doing as much catching up as possible - please note, all newbies, that I have been flying for a couple of years, and so the house isn't all that bad, playing catch up is not recommended when you first start! (Or ever really if you have any children under the age of five...:rolleyes:)

    dusty - sounds like you all had a lovely time at Kew! Hope DS's cold okay.

    Sorry to hear about your friend toochoosey :(

    And your cat hellsbells, give her a gentle hug from me.

    Got back from work and had a bit of tea, then folded up and put away most of today's washing, just a couple of bits still finishing off.

    Going to watch Michael Palin now.

    dusty - glad you had a good day

    greenbee - I have decluttered some clothes today but am also keeping hold of some that are a bit tight or small as I am DETERMINED to lose weight in the new year. I lost 3 stone last year but what with the broken arm and depression this year, I have put half of it back on :o

    Grrr - I think I might be getting a cold :mad: I have warmed up but now my nose is itchy and my ear aches :mad:

    Now, who has a magic wand? Hopefully I'll join you all on this thread one day.

    Pigpen does! Oh no, sorry. That's her feather duster that she beats us with when we don't fly enough! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Don't go. Stick around. We're a friendly bunch, we don't bite (well, most of us don't) and it really will help you to declutter - a little bit at a time.
