I've had a brilliant morning - cleaned the kitchen, living room, hoovered whole house, tidied and cleaned DS1's room (that on it's own is one hell of a task!!!), cleaned bathrooms and washed the kitchen floor. I am at peace with the nags in my head now I hate being or feeling like I'm in a mess and half term threw me last week cos I didn't seem to be able to get my usual cleaning done with both boys at home.

Rainmac - Would you like to adopt me? OH and I have just about decided to put our house up for sale and the thought of getting everything organised is breaking me out in a cold sweat :eek:

Wifey I've PM'd you back. Thank you for your kind offer. And I would never have thought of using an old paperback - brilliant idea!

Lyndach - Chocolate Mug Cake - yummmm

sunrise - gorgeous fairies

paddington welcome home and can't wait to see your pics

tomsmum sending you hugs

Hi TiredMom join in it's great fun.

Saucy Well done you on getting an order.

JHB I've not finished my Mother's Day Card yet (I've been messing about with designs again) can you let me know what the deadline is please? Would it be OK if I post them directly here too cause MIL checks out my blog and I don't want her to see hers in advance.

I need to try and talk OH into going to bed earlier - by the time he goes to bed and I catch up on here and everyone's blog I don't have any time left to craft. Do you think my boss would mind if I took my stash into work to play?

Thank you so much
I think most of the time I can't see for looking...I'm pleased, so far this week has just consisted of my bed (I'm so bored of my room, I haven't really been out of it since last Thursday...sigh!) but I've spent a lot on craft stuff. Amazing how that happens, lol!

I can't wait to get my promarkers, and I bought my first lot of ribbons from Ribbon Mad, which I've just had an email to say is now being processed. Odd time to be working but I'm glad I won't have to wait two weeks!

I love this thread. Thank you all! You've really kept my spirits up.

Saucy, no promarkers yet? Is there a Promarkers swap shop on CP as I think I may have a couple of extras, also no.3 son sent me some Aqua Promarkers, they look interesting, summat else to play with. Shame Ribbonmad is closing down, I've bought far too much lovely stuff from them, I bought some lovely buttons in their sale.
Yep! Yep! 4.30am and no sleep in me, playing with the PM's Tea, anyone? Ooops! shouldn't have asked that! Sorry lyndach
