    :xmastree: Please can I join. I've had flying sprees in the past which have all worked very well but I never stick at it. Hopefully actually joining rather than peeking round the corner will help me. I'm laughing at the Christmas Tree icon as this year my lounge was such a mess that I joked to my Sister that the only way I could fit a tree in is if it were one that hung from the ceiling. On a bright note it means I don't have any decorations to clear away but not much fun for my DS and a shame as I've collected (hmmm this is a reaccuring problem) lovely chrimbo decorations for many years. They stayed in the loft this year.

    So onwards and upwards. Not a chance I'll do all of my ironing but the coal fire is raging and i've done tonnes of washing so that's a start. I can even see the kitchen floor following yesterdays level one. Small steps and all that....

    Merry New Year Everyone!!

    Thanks for the coffee, am enjoying it now.
    Started washing up, got distracted, emptied WM and put another load on, put some washing on rads, rest in TD waiting to be joined by next load. Can't do much in the LR until Chritstmas Tree is gone as it takes up half the room!
    Have sooooooo many toys everywhere and no where to put them, went through the toy boxes before C day and chucked a load so not much more can go.
    Chest of drawers that lives in LR has another drawer broken, can't gert into the cabinet as the tree's in front of it and woulnd't be able to open drawers anyways as they are broke too.
    GOD I NEED NEW FURNITURE!
    Hate my house at the moment, it's so cluttered, we jsut don't have space for anything but OH goes APE if I throw any of his stuff out!
    Everything lives in stupid places so I can never find anything.
    GGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

  • 10 pages since I was here last night!!!!

    So far have done the shopping. Have done a load of washing.

    Need to do some ironing, clean my bedroom window, swish & swipe & sort DS's clothes.

    My spd is quite bad today. It didn't help yesterday, some utter @rsehole parked right next to my car, driver side. So I had to get in the passenger seat & go across. Oh the pain. Made me cry. So I am suffering today.

    Happy New Year all

    Morning lovelies

    Been up ages and am bathed and dressed but started Fred in the 30s...last night! Gosh so many noobs. Welcome all but oh...how big is Fred gonna be?
    Vali - glad your DS is revising, mine has done a little bit - which science course is he doing do you know?
    Some science one - part of a GCSE but he is only in Y10 topics are You and Your Genes, Air Quality and The Earth and The Universe. It will be worth 16.6% of his final score. I don't know any more than that...
    Hope you're feelinhg better BTW

    I've just had a lovely hot, oily bath (there was condensation dripping off the ceiling by the time I dragged myself out) and am re-reading Harry Potter & the order of the phoenix (which is now a bit damp :o ).
    I can't read in the bath easily any more cos I now have reading glasses! I'm jealous!

    I can't find the sellotape! 2 rolls I had only last week and they've both gone AWOL :mad: I hate looking for stuff cause it uses loads of energy for no good reason, I just know I've seen it somewhere!

    On a more positive note, I've done half my list already :T was on a right good roll, till the sellotape decided to be funny and hide itself.....I need a brew

    Dusty meant to say earlier, get better soon flower x
