    Only two stars, but I don't feel I've done badly. I need to clear up from making supper (I've also put some vegetables in the SC to make a stew/soup/sauce), so that I leave the kitchen nice and clean!

    I really need to focus upstairs next week, as downstairs (apart from the utility room) is pretty much decluttered and easy to maintain. Upstairs needs a ruthless declutter (of clothes mostly), although the vast amount of filing done last week has helped. I haven't hoovered upstairs for a couple of weeks :o and you can tell!

    Still, it's a LOT cleaner and tidier than it would have been before I joined this thread, which is about a year ago (just after Valli I think!).

    Thanks for the lists Pigpen, the stars Toots and Soappie and the rest of you for the encouragement!

    Hello! Busy busy weekend, will tell you all about it tomorrow, as DH wants the laptop back now.

    I've caught up to page 57, so hope all is well on the pages in between! I will try to finish catching up

    Helen glad you are able to strike out now

    Sarah, hope you have managed to get your sofa clean after having the urge incontinent little girl round

    Greenbee, what an awful situation at work, I hope everyone gets to hear what’s going to happen asap

    Zoe, how lovely that Amelia got through all that and is bringing you so much joy, what a lovely story. Hope that your colds get better soon

    Soappie, I love the fact that you had your Mum’s engagement ring and your Dad’s handkerchief with you at the wedding, I thought that was really sweet

    Rach, glad to hear the job is going so well and that you are feeling much better

    Fedup, so sorry to hear about Mr Elderly Dog, big hugs for you

    Kazm hope you are feeling better now and that next week is not as bad as you think it will be

    Hugs Jojo sounds like you have a lot going on at the moment. Hope your ankle and neck are better soon

    Tashja so sorry to hear about your disastrous holiday, hope you are all recovered now

    MOJ2 if your ex was taking the kids away himself, it wouldn’t be a problem, so I don’t see why it would matter if he pays for them to go away with you

    Welcome Mrs Moneyspinner and Witchwoopiggy – well done for telling us of your health issues, many of us (including me) have depression so we are an understanding bunch

    Kazw how did the demolition go?

    Jo, hope your cold is better soon

    Crafty, grrr to the caf! people, bad service irritates me like mad

    Hugs Dolly

    Thank Rosepink. They really need a holiday and I think that DH would use some savings he has I think he want to take them away next year so no doubt see this as a good bargaining tool. I don't mean that in a bad way either. we plan on going to Florida as I can do my with some Tesco vouchers and food is included in the deal :j:j must be made to even think about taking them on my own but it will never happen if I don't. will probably take my niece with me if she is allowed too.

    Just wanted to :j :j :j
    because I did 5 stars this week .....just. Haven't done that in a long time TBh haven't done one star in a long time either.
