On the flying front the HHC turned into a marathon as I was determined to sort out my WM's backflow problem, which I did after completely dismantling the plumbing indoors and out. Still it woks now, who needs a mah eh??

Then I popped into the local dress agency and got 2 pairs of jeans for £13, one of them from next, still with its tags on

Foots hurting so gonna get a cuppa and rest it for half an hour, then put the kitchen back to 'normal'

welldone GTX - its nice to see the results of your hard work in the oven and not getting stressed about visitors - it makes your life so much easier!

G&B hugs for you and LO - and any other poorlies

Just worked my way through hanging wardrobe and decluttered 7 pairs of trousers and 6 skirts :eek: - some of them hardly ever worn :mad: but realistically I will not get into them again. Think I will try to find a dress agency for some of them.
Now trying to decide whether to tackle the tops while I am on a roll - not likely to find any that don't fit (that wasn't where I put the weight on) but I'm sure there are some I don't wear any more. Anyone else sometimes look at something and wonder why you bought it?

sexymouse

Freecycle stuff collected, so a little bit of clutter has now gone as there are now 3 less bottles of hair products on my drawer unit. I'm off to find the polish so I can dust properly in the bedroom as I just used the hoover the other day as I didn't have any polish. I've got a headache again, and I don't know if it's from all of the computer use, or the 1 or 2 (ok, maybe more like 6) pieces of dark chocolate orange I've consumed today.

I must do my meal plans for the week and then go food shopping. I'm going to make chips from the jerusalem artichokes I bought the other day, but don't know what to have with them.

Kids are driving me mad, they are all really ratty today. Thinking of refusing to take them to cricket.
