    Ive also done lots of the kitchen, hang up the washing I washed this morning, put another load on and stuck some of the wet stuff in the TD. Did last nights dishes too, took out the recycling, cleaned the dining table, also cleaned down the front and back doors....inside and out.

    Im about to clean the over while its still warm and do the new dishes....then start the ironing.....honestly. :D

    Anyone fancy joining me for half hour challenge to clean up the tea stuff?

    Well I've decluttered my 100 plus things by depositing them at the charity shop.;):D

    Mmmmm not very impressed with the extremely huffy staff member who firstly glared at me disapprovingly when I asked for a bit of help unloading the car, :confused:, she told me in no uncertain terms 'that we're not fully staffed today'........:silenced:w

    I don't donate at my local charity shop for the same reason. I went in there a few years ago and the lady rudely shouted at me 'I wish people would stop donating at this shop!' I never have since!!

    I'm going to be offline for a bit whilst I see if DH can fix my computer again. The battery doesn't work and the power lead doesn't connect in the back anymore! Hopefully I won't be gone long!

    Catch up soon

    I've got to go and try and put my mate's rabbit and guinea pig back in their hutches now. Depending how they get on is whether I let them out again for the rest of the week!

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
