    :xmastree:managed to find tree (thanks tootiefrooties) so I can be added to list for Monday. Does order of rooms change each week or is the list the same?

    The room choice depends on Pigpen so does change from week to week. Toots will be along soon to send you a welcome email which will explain things.

    Just take it easy at first so you don't get overwhelmed and you will be fine.

    If you are unsure please ask and Welcome to the flying xxx

    Going to have a sit down now and sew up my pink bra. I hate sewing, but have 4 bras - 3 need sewing up and the one I've been wearing is in desperate need of washing, plus I'm going to change the bed soon and I always wash my bras inside the pillowcases!


    :T:T:TThank you Rosepink for this excellent idea. Just the tip I needed. x

    We were going to go to I*cof* but there's been a crash and the M1 is effectively blocked.
    She's not happy.

    Thanks for this - DH is picking SSs up from J27, just warned him to do A46 way.

    I am pleased with what I got done, upstairs is finished, just need to make two beds. I have also put lots of stuff away downstairs so a general S&S tomorrow rather than a deep clean.

    Valli - it is Mudbath who you can't say the I*** word to - I went there yesterday.

    My DS3 is mini mad too - they announced yesterday that they are making two new models in the UK to be launched in a couple of years.

    Just going to tidy up the kitchen as DS2 needs to read the rules for a tournament tomorrow on here now.

    Been sitting here doing a Littlewoods online shop - I hate shopping so I'm trying to get some bits for me and the kids online - don't usually use Littlewoods - any tips - are they ok about returns.

    so long as returns are sent back within 10 days of receipt they are absolutely fine, beyond that they get difficult

    I really MUST move from my derriere... but alas I believe the roots are too deep to be uprooted....

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

  • wm on, dw on, week decluttered.

    Was in lesson and new year 7s about to light their Bunsen burners for the first time, and one lad said

    "miss, miss, I can't get any gas out of mine, only water, and it won't light"

    bless him, he's only connected it to the water tap instead of the gas tap...

    Hope everyone ok.
