aww thanks for that - it's the bit I hate because I have to assume a false persona if you get my drift...nevertheless I do think it appropriate to do and it offers a time for reflection.

Milliejo you sure you have your own OH in there and not a double? :rotfl:

I'm pleased with the progress that I've made, and due to the fact that I did most of last week's list at the weekend, I should be able to get away with a S&S for most things during the week and really focus my time/effort on the study and utility room (and have just remember that there are some clothes that need sorting/filing lurking on the chair/blanket chest in my bedroom ).

Pigpen - great news on the cheque

Nicki - you've got your priorities right. You need to sit down and plan how you're going to get yourself fit and healthy for your DD. That's the MOST important thing. Good luck, you know we'll all be here to support you.

Rosepink - well done on getting your kitchen surfaces clear. Now aim to keep them that way before you try to get any further.

milliejo - well done on the conversion of your OH. Make the most of it, but don't expect it to last :rolleyes: he'll return to normal soon enough

soappie & valli - you need to examine your consciences very thoroughly and think about some ethical investing.

Valli

Thanks girlies - much appreciated...

ah well Greenbee - there was a method in my madness (edited out now!)

Bear in mind I do my best to be green - even bringing home stuff from work like foil from dinners and spent batteries for recycling...

G'night Greenbee et al! Sweet dreams!

Green and ethical aren't the same things... be careful or I'll start sending you links to all the websites explaining the problems

Evening Toots :wave: I'm really well thanks babes. I hit Ikea today. I've decided to stop waiting for Mr Shattered's enthusiasm for new storage/furniture/decorating etc etc! So I whizzed off with my best mate, and bought new storage for the bedroom, another storage unit for the girls' room, a new recycling unit for the kitchen, new lampshades and a new mat for the hallway!!! Major budget bash!!! :eek: But to hell with it, I'm sick of fitting things round stuff that's broken/obsolete. No more... so there!!! HA!!!!!

ETA: I'm staying out of that one.... ethics are a tricky topic, and I'm not known for my moderate views! My friends get bashed into submission, so I try to be a little less vocal on here.... try being the word... sometimes my goat is well and truly got, and I have to comment. :rolleyes: Night Valli, night Greenbee Sleep well both of you.
