    My house sparkles!!! All my rooms are finished upstairs, but havent done all of the upstairs windows so dont think i will get any stars....will need to check my lists in a minute.

    My garden looks like a garden........:j Well the back garden does, even my neighbour commented on how good it looks! I need to buy a rake though, some of the grass is so long, it has simply fallen over and dont think it is all cut properly.........any gardening tips on what i should do next to make the grass look beautiful again?? :confused:

    ******~~~~RANT ALERT~~~~*****

    :mad: :mad: Was not happy at the amount of CAT CARP in my garden???!?!??!:mad: :mad:

    Am i allowed to force my elderly next door neighbour to come through and pick it up??? Even though she is disabled and can hardly walk? :rolleyes: I know the answer but surely if you cant clean up after your animals you shouldnt have them - thats the only reason i dont have a dog!!

    *****~~~~RANT OVER~~~~*****

    My front garden still looks like the wild man of borneo could be lost in there, but i cant face it at the minute........hopefully will get more sun tomorrow and can hopefully start on it. The only problem is when i go out there, i literally dont know where to start :rolleyes:

    I havent done anymore of the ironing yet admittedly - but i did do my second most hated job and matched up SOCKS!!! About 40 pairs!!!!!!!! Have also reduced my ironing pile by removing my pjs etc and other things i wont iron......:D Am going to stand and do some ironing tonight and have a glass of wine.

    I think it's a combination of a wee small drop of Gordons straight after the heady smell of ground coffee beans in close proximity. I rarely drink coffee these days and I swear even a small amount of residual dust of the ground coffee in the air has sent me a tad ~um~ something or other!

    I'm cream crackered.

    Garage is 2/3rd done. I knew it really needed to be a whole weekend job but with OH doing a half marathon tomorrow that ain't gonna happen. I'll have to be really strict with myslef this week and see what I can finish off.

    Car Boot is full of stuff to be got rid of tomorrow when I drop DS3 at his party I can do a circular route to the football passing the dump.
