    Hi there, still finding my feet with flying, but I am managing to get at least Level One done each day. Last night I felt exhausted after work (grotty day at work) so I didn't do much other than make tea. Having said that, my kitchen is still looking great and it is so much easier to keep on top of without the worktop clutter. I even cleaned the window and windowsill this morning before I went to work.

    The bedroom is my worst area as my floodrobe is more full than my wardrobe :o so this will indeed be a challenge. I need to have a purge so I'm going to fill at least one charity bag tonight with clothes I haven't worn in ages - that should make some room.

    I'm just wondering how long it's going to be before I hit the "abuse" button instead of "thanks"......

    I didn't do any washing today because of the weather forecast. It's lovely and sunny and dry......too late now because I'm off to work in under an hour.

    Got the guttering cleaned out this afternoon. Needed mending where it joins next door's (on their side) - it's been leaking for years but they won't do it. Still, it's done now. The man knocked on next door to check he could go round there and said to me when he came back "I don't know what he's on, but he's off his face on something". Still using then......

    Happy days.
  • 000203D4.gif Hi everyone.

    Been a good girl and kept busy doing the housework. Just stopped for a cuppa before I hoover/wash the floors and wash the front door. Need to do the bathroom out too and I CBA at all to do it, I had better though cause if I don't the nurse will ask to use it for sure.

    Ashia we are trying to sell our house too. I had a really big clear out then packed away seasonal things which we werent using. Then I packed up lots of books and some of the kids toys. I also packed away lots of toiletries which i had bought when on offer (i used to go on the Boots thread but had to stop!) I wouldnt pack more than this as you dont know how long it will take to sell. I dont mean to sound pessimistic but we have been on since June, have sold it twice and it fell through both times for silly reasons. We have 2 people wanting to buy it but they have to find new buyers:mad: It's so frustrating but good luck!
    GTX How embarassing for both of you! I posted the other day about my 4 year old getting an erection while he was sitting on the sofa, he looked at me, showed me his tail then put it away and laughed, I too was mortified.:eek: My Mum and I used to do the knocking thing when I was a teenager, she did catch me and my DH having a fumble which was mortifying too!:eek: We never spoke of it again:o
    Anyway onto what I am supposed to be here for:rotfl:
