    Kazm absolutely gorgeous photos hon.
    Rose you will be fine, hopefully flat is looking really nice and presentable :D
    PrincessJane that's fantastic news re your smear results.

    Afternoon everyone, I have been a mardy wotsit today where I haven't been very productive this morning, well apart from talking on Facebook..lol But I am now back in action, showered and dressed. I even cleaned the bathroom top to bottom instead of towelling myself dry - much better and so much more theraputic :D Trouble is I can't delete it from the list as it hasn't come up yet..lol Still at least I have a head start for tomorrows list :rotfl::rotfl: I've even braved the gale force wind outside and pegged the bedding on it, had to weight it down with half a dozen pegs though as it kept blowing over the line..half an hour and it should be dry :D

    I am finding it a bit hard to do a childrens room/spare room etc as we don't have any children and I am not allowed in DH's room as he has his train set etc in there and it is an ongoing project with him sorting it all out. So I daren't touch it..:eek:

    The box room is basically that - a box room. It is tidy, but it has stuff in there that is waiting to go in the loft when DH finally gets round to sorting it out. I think it w.ill probably be done next year at this rate as he seems to be avoiding it. I can't do the loft as I get panic attacks going up the ladder :eek:

    So any help in putting other stuff on there would be a great help.. I do have the porch to do but I wouldn't know what to put down as each level, it's only a small porch just a bit cluttered with odds and ends (dog leads, veg boxes folded up, gunk and painting bits as it is in the process of being decorated!)

    :wave: Afternoon!

    I've been working all day and just doing bits of flying inbetween clients. So far I've;
    - walked garden
    - de pooped garden (why can't DH pick it up when they do it!!!!)
    - cleared side of house
    - sorted some recycling
    - sorted some whites for bleaching
    - made mini shopping list for later
    - s/s kitchen
    - cleaned clinic
    - ordered next years diary for work
    - done some paperwork.

    So, lots done but no lists completed. I will do one tomorrow! Promise!

    Right, about to start work again and then do school run - I hate those words!!! xx
