    1. Strip wallpaper in living room
    2. post back trousers
    3. fill in and return school holidays form
    4. cut the grass and rake
    5. buy birthday cards

    Made the beds, fed the cat, packed littley off to school, got ready for work. I'm leaving a note for teenie to do the kitchen and to make a start on the wallpaper stripping, need to pop to Wickes' after my first job to buy a scraper, I've no idea where the one I had went :confused:

    Morning all,

    I'm in again and glad it's the kitchen cos only have a couple of things to do and will get another star - yeah! Made a mess of the room last nite, couldn't sleep and decided to start rummaging for something I had lost, needless to say couldn't find it, it looks like I have been burgled!

    Hugs for everyone and Happy Birthday to Soappie, will catch up on the end of last week's thread soon.

    My 5 Things:

    1. Sort through suitcase
    2. Find more clothes for charity
    3. Buy Oven Liners - couldn't find these - any idea where I can get them??
    4. Change some lightbulbs that have gone out
    5. Plaster around light-switches and paint

    Toots - just read your post and wanted to add that you are very brave and a wonderful person! Fairly new here too and it's been a privilege getting your advice, you always have a nice word for everyone! Stay strong xx
