    Enough moaning from me and compared with toots ,Triker and others it`s not such a big deal. Keeps her lip very, very stiff :o Off to do a little flying now as viewing tomoz and I am not in all day :eek: Means regimenting everyone to pick up after themselves in the morning. As I wont be there to do it, off to college at 8 am

    right i hate the ironing - all night its taken me and ive ironed 15 things!! how carp am i???

    Ok admittedly I have not stood at the ironing board and ironed religiously for all of that time, I was ok whilst I was decluttering the sky planner of missed episodes of 24 - but the phone rang, and i got distracted and i pottered around doing other things, but kept coming back to the ironing. I set my laptop up to download free anti-virus and was well impressed with myself that id finally got round to sorting that out - and the download failed :mad: Will try again tomorrow from work as i get a better reception there. I hate living in the sticks....:rolleyes:

    Off my own personal list, I have cleared the 6 boxes which were left to clear from my dining room into my living room and have emptied one of them!! :j I know i have 5 left but every journey starts with a single step, right? That way i can go through the boxes whilst i catch up on CSI!!

    I have prepped all veg to put in slow cooker for tomorrow and decluttered my tea and a glass of wine....think i am also going to declutter some homemade chocolate cheesecake that my neighbour handed in :D I have a nice neighbour......makes up for the old witch next door.

    Oh - I have also cleaned the bathroom - I only have a teeny weeny laptop at home, so will update my list tomorrow from work....much easier.

    Much love n hugs to all xxx
