    ooh good Living Room, did that yesterday so shouldn't be too bad.

    Triker well done on the bargains, the Pratchets are usually closer to £3 each. Incidentally Pratchet is why my user name is Hex, the dog is Lu Tze, and DS1 is named after Commander Vimes. Obsessive, me?

    and thankyou to Pigpen, Toots and Soappie, and to everyone else for the support.

    Hi everyone!
    Hope everyone is okay tonight.
    I am in again this week after doing really badly last week - it was just busy :rolleyes:
    Had a great girly night out on Weds - went to see 'Here Come the Boys' or the 'Chippendales' as was. It was a fab night out - evidence is on my FB page :eek:
    Also DD had her prom on Fri, so the afternoon went by in a blur of hair & make-up appointments! She looked gorgeous though, was so proud of her & her friends.
    Our wedding anniversary today as well - but haven't been out - feeling a little hard done to actually - a bit of effort wouldn't hurt him would it?:rolleyes:

    I have kept up with general tidying though, so the house isn't cluttered & the bathroom & kitchen has been S&Sed & i've done an hour of ironing tonight. Not too much to catch up on.
    Here's my list:
    Magnificent Monday ~ Living room, hall and stairs!
    Level One
    Declutter the floors
    Declutter the flat surfaces inc. mantle.. even if you scoop it all into a box to deal with later!
    Level Two

    Level Three

    Catch up on those important phone calls

    Vets appt at 4.30pm.
    Phone computer company re DS's DSA order.
    Phone a couple of local garages for their servicing charges.
    Go to work & keep smiling :p

    hugs to all....

  • Been away for ages - we've had a chaotic couple of months with ds(17) being diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome and going onto DLA and me giving up work to become a full-time Carer and SAHM (2nd time around).

    Our house is :eek::eek::eek::eek: - so I really need the help of all you good people to get back on track - I haven't got the excuse of work now :o

    As ever, thanks to Pigpen and Toots :T:T:T
