    This is how my list looks for today. As I said yesterday I incorporated DS's room and spare room into the masterbedroom/landing clean, so can stroke off stuff.
    (I presume this is ok, as it was done yesterday, obviously if this had been a more than 2-3 days ago I might consider doing it again!).
    Hope all are well, hugs to those who need them, and thanks for the lovely welcome back :).

    Good morning all,
    As you can see we survived the night :j
    DS 'found' the key this morning in the big basket, that sits next to the little basket the key is supposed to live in. :rolleyes: I know it wasn't there last night cos I looked in it about 5 times, as you do when you've lost something. So a bit of a mystery there.:confused: Anyway the main thing is that it's been found. So I shall get another one cut today just to be on the safe side.

    Off to find my list that is just getting longer and longer cos I'm being a lazy mare this week:rolleyes: Back in a bit.

    i dont like brown either which is why im struggling with it.....the colour is supposed to be Biscuit! It was supposed to be like a beige colour :rolleyes:

    Im going to wait a day or so and put the curtains up, and then leave it for a few weeks......Im not ready to paint it all again just yet :rotfl:
    Looks good to me and because of the doors it's not a whole wall IYSWIM.

    The curtains will make a difference and you do need to leave it a while as it's so different to what you had before.

    Morning all.


    Well plans to cut more worktop and get the kitchen sorted. Can't wait for the hob to arrive. Haven't had a hob for over 2 years and really looking forward to 'playing' with it.

    Have DS school Fete today, my niece's tomorrow and DD on Sunday. It could well cost me a fortune.
    Looks like my hayfever is playing me up today so may need to take something.


    I did watch Torchwood last night and understood what you meant Tag about the 10%. Glad you key 'turned up' Plan on watching the last episode tonight. Does anyone know if there is a new series of Torchwood being planned?

    Of to find my list of 5


    Toots1.[STRIKE]Do plastering[/STRIKE]
    Toots2.[STRIKE]Phone up Doc re smear test etcneed to phone again next month[/STRIKE]
    Toots 3.[STRIKE]Give all the windows a GOOD clean[/STRIKE]
    Toots4.[STRIKE]Do all the ironing[/STRIKE]
    Toots5.[STRIKE]Find some new tiles[/STRIKE]

    Morning all

    Gl;ad you're intact Tag and pleased the key has turned up. DS has lost TWO sets! (outside the house) -we each have our own and I have a spare set and my mum has a set, too.

    jam has set beautifully BUT the kitchen floor is sticky so that will need mopping again - but I can't think it's the jam as I'm not sure I spilled any (and I would see it - it's blachcurrant).

    Busy busy busy - see you later
