    Soappie is your kitchen floor completed now? I wish I had your skill and decisiveness to get on with things that OH is taking forever and a day to do. Your doogie pictures are so cute and they always make me laugh.

    Sexym - yes the floor is complete but the kitchen is not. I need to cut the kick plates down a little before I can put them back. That's on today's list. Once they're back I'll do a proper 'after' pic.

    Rach - glad your evening went well. If DH is still asleep I might be tempted to get the hoover out ;)

  • Morning everybody!
    frosty but bright here - I see our forcast this week says minus 5 or 6 so that should be interesting!!!
    My cousin is arriving about 12.30 so I have time to do a bit more tidying - she has a beautiful spotless house but its still a home IFYWIM - she admits to being obsessed with keeping it tidy but she is lovely and never criticises mine - in fact she helped me clean up after the windows went in!
    We will probably just go to dobbies garden centre for lunch and a catch up.

    Does this picture show the face of innocence? Is that one uncovered pillow in her mouth, another uncovered to her side and the one covered actually in its rightful position?

    I think she is learning to strip the bed - she has been watching you and wants to show you how clever and helpful she can be!!! Awwwhhhhh she is just toooooooooo gorgeous - you are making me ever so jealous and wanting a woof again!!!! that was good about your accounts - makes life so much easier and less paper too!

    kiwi well done with the garden - and the house - its good to hear you are happier with it and not stressed if anybody arrived.

    denisenz hope it doesnt get too hot for you working all week!

    mozzy if you want joke emails from me you have to pm me your email address!

    MOF77 thats a brilliant result for DS2! a 'well done' hug for him!!! And I am soo glad that the new regime is working for DD - does that mean she wont be having her skin peel?

    aunty crafty - I am trying - honest!!! (very trying some would say!) I have a slightly different mindset this time so I do think I will make progress!

    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
