    Back from shopping. Spent a fortune on 'little bits' for DD for her flat. :o. This afternoon, I think I'll have a good old rummage through the cupboards and see what else I can declutter her way.

    Anyone fancy a HHC 2-2.30?

    Sorry Holly - I missed yours. I intend to do the kitchen next, but need to wash up the dishes so that I can get to the sides to clean them first.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

  • Hellloooooo! Had a nice morning out with a young girl I know. She is turning into a really nice girl and I've been trying (with her parent's) to help her deal with the confusion of growing up. She's doing well, making good decisions.

    Anyway, just going to catch up with the thread now, and then have a nap, and then DH is going out (yay, a break from rugby!) so I will be able to do some flying then. It's too small here to do much when there are two people at home!

    One thing that came out of it is that it seems DiL is putting the heating on to dry the washing on the radiators since she's been asked not to use the TD :rolleyes::confused: The girl has no sense! Why she can't use the airers is beyond me!quote]
    Does she have enough clothes? Mayb she needs to get her clothes dry quickly bcause she doesn't have enough undies and things??

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    She has most of top shop/new look ranges in her wardrobe here. Plus stuff in a wardrobe at her Mum's. She also has about 67 millions pairs of knickers and bras....

    ETA - I think if she did one load of washing a day instead of 10 in one day, there wouldn't be such a problem...
