    Wednesday Wishy-washy ~ Living Room, Hallway and Stairs Done!!:D:D:D

    Well. did this yesterday, so will do the main bedroom today.

    I'm also half way through the hotspot in the kitchen. We put a run of extra floor units down the side of the dining area, which act as a sideboard - the only problem is that it is the real organisational hub of the house, phone, diary, stationery, all the important letters from school, post, directories, local newpaper are there, and then everything else gets dropped on there too!

    Just off to declutter DS2 to friend's for the day...Then I think I'll go to the allotment.

    Jo- really good news about the treats for toots.

    ssl and jjef - give toots my love.

    Chunky - top news about OH's contract.

    I have bathed and when washing my hair, got shampoo in my eye. It's still stinging. Never mind, my eyelashes will be lovely and soft...

    Remembered at the last minute that we had a family appt at the dentist got there just in time everyones teeth ok exept dd who will be 17 next wek and has to be conatanlty nagged to brush her teeth. We'v told her the dentst has told her the hygenist everyone but will she listen nope and now shes got the first signs of gum desease, she could lose her front teeth by the time shes thirty if she doesnt start looking after them when we told her this she just shruged and said that was years away yet .She should have had braces when she was 14 but because of her lack of brushing she couldnt have them she even had a goal to reach if there was improvement for six months they'd reconsider but she didnt even try.I used to stand over her i'v even brushed them myself but shes 17 now its up to her.




    Can you show her some episodes of "10 years younger" when they are having hideous dental treatment cos their teeth have fallen out?

    Jinky I'm still dealing with the paper work of my Nan's estate and do you know what I actually miss her moaning :( hope your visit goes ok.

    Not getting very far at all this morning, need to go and fed the neighbours cat now and DS3 wants me to look at his pile of work from school before we go out.
