    Shoe Gal - I was good last night, I got my clothes out for the morning again, and got up to find the weather totally different from the forecast yesterday, so ended up wearing something totally different......so it didnt really help at all in the end,

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Supports my theory of do it in the morning - and be late for work :eek:

    Ohh, looks like it's just me & the Pink Elephant that are single & in debt tonight :(

    Hey ho,

    I have been to the dump, tidied the garden & prepared for the next bonfire.

    I have done washing, cleaned, tidied, hoovered & just decided to paint the bathroom window reveal - think that s what it's called :confused:- white to match the window sill. It has a tiny window & always seems so dark in there. I'm back on track to change, renovate, refurbish, improve the home & garden. I'm just raring to get on with clearing out my room & sanding & painting the floorboards. I'm looking for some fab fuschia rugs for the floor, so if anyone sees any please let me know ... failing that I'll be pouring the dye into my washing machine again :D. I have so many ideas & plans ... just need a bigger place with more rooms so can fit them all in.

    I'm loving simplicity & shabby minimalism at the moment.
