That was the middle room one... and DD4.. Tiddles has never really been one for climbing.. thank goodness.. as DD4 was practically an ape! That pic is on my FB.. with the caption... spot the cat!

That was the one - but wasn't there also one of your BR with mountains of black bags that made me feel a lot better about my similar room at the time? Hope I didn't upset you by remembering!

SSL - It is a good sized space now we have taken the pantry wall out, when we have the money :rolleyes: it will be lovely but at the moment it is uneven, uncomfortable and smells of damp. I have the rough oak to make the cabinets, and I bought the range whilst we still had some money but no funds left for the rest sadly. The DW was a must! There was no plumbing for one or a WM and my poor DH spent two weekends and a good £100 on special drill bits to get through the two foot thick stone wall. I gave him the choice of that or washing up so he agreed it was essential .
Lots of pictures of the house on Facebook, I am mildly obsessed with it.

I have cleaned out the chickens, and the fish. Made a plum and apple crumble rather than just bin the windfalls. Done lots of boring weeding. Nagged the littles re tidying the play room, and S&S'd the kitchen yet again.

Afternoon all,

I couldn't get a new hutch because by the time OH and I had both done our shopping the boot was a bit full. We got back about an hour ago and OH got the car boot stuff out of the attic for me. I'm sorting through it now, there's loads of it:eek: and i'm trying to do it without Ds2 seeing and recognising his toys:rolleyes:.

wm on x2, well is proving a bit intractable.

hollyh

It's all sorted i can do the rest in the morning. It didn't take as long as i thought it would.

I need to find my extras list as well.

Dustykitten

Cake done, soup in the AGA washing up done.

Just having a cuppa and looking through an old M&S catalogue before I declutter it

PenPen I'm glad your DD is feeling better

hollyh

Oh no Ds2 has seen the pile :eek::eek: he's saying that's mine and that and that can i play with it:eek::rolleyes:. I'm trying to say they're baby toys and if i sell them for pennies i can get him some xmas presents. Right i'd better go before he drags it all out.:rolleyes:

I keep thinking about how lovely my house will be once I have the money to do it up lol. I would love a DW, but no room ATM *sigh* I have just had a nosy on FB at the house. I remember admiring your garden but didnt look at the house. I do feel for your poor hubby and the 2 foot wall! Btw are your boys twins or very close in age?

Right...time to go to the pub to pick up BF and uncle. I will probably be some time :rolleyes::D

The album is for an assortment of snaps I found in a bag - mainly from the 1950s and 1960s so small square ones and various other ones so I want one of those album which you peel a page up and stick them in rather than a slot in one. I am happy to cover it with fabric so don't want to pay a fortune or mind what the cover is as long as it is quite sturdy.

I have a couple I don't need - let me know how many pages you need (roughly) and I'll see whether either of them will do for you!

Had a lovely time in London. Need to pack my bag for the walk, get my stuff ready and then try to have a few hours sleep!

:xmastree:Not sure if I was meant to put another Christmas tree up, but here it is in any case. Not done any flying today, but pleased with bathroom I did yesterday - it looks great! Planning on doing lots of flying tomorrow so will update list later on on Sunday - hope that is not too late. Going to do my ironing tonight, so that will be out of the way. Have a nice evening all.
