    Mudbath - I got a Wii Fit today too, just need to clear enough floor space in the playroom to try it out!

    Toots - hope you are ok

    Went to Argos for some of those vacuum bag thingys - want to store all the sleeping bags etc and am trying to reduce the bulk. Might even fit through the tiny loft hatch if they are small enough which would be good.

    Just sorting out the understairs cupboard then cracking on with the playroom. Feel free to boot me if you see my light on again.

    Washed & dressed.

    Cleaned bath, shower curtain & tiles, marinaded loo while in the shower, cleaned both basins.

    One load in WM

    DW reloaded, some washing up done, the rest soaking

    Windows open & house airing (actually, I might go and close those now... it's getting a bit chilly!)

    And I've even done a bit of work ;)

    Oooohhhhhhhhhh isn't it exciting! I'm going to get DH to fit it when he comes in from work as I can't lift the box. The children will do their homework quickly tonight when I say they can't go on it until they've finished :rotfl: .

    Flying bit....i've put the washing in the dryer for ten minutes and hung it up xx

    Soappie's tip of the year - when searching for small engined cars - don't just type in Fiesta and click on one of the top results without checking the small print underneath - you get rather buxom, scantily clad women :o

    OT but thanks whoever it was who poked me to go to the dentist! Wasn't as bad as I thought and I still have all my teeth ;) However I have the back teeth of a 50 year old (about 20 years older than me!) because I clench and grind my teeth. Getting a shield thing for them which will hopefully get me out of the habit and save my teeth.

    Doing a bit of work this afternoon. I've managed to keep my worktop I cleared, tidy for 2 days now :j The kitchen floor is also still mostly clean but I'll give it a quick sweep this afternoon.
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    Afternoon all

    No washing today (still can't get used to that). Just generally tidied round, washed up etc.

    Did an hour shoving white emulsion on the little bedroom walls, still not finished but I refuse to climb on a ladder so DH will have to do that. He's supposed to be doing it all anyway so he's lucky I've been in there at all.

    Well done to your son with his sweatshirt Dusty :)
