    Just having a quick break after shifting furniture. One good thing about doing floorboards is you work up a sweat so don't need to put the heating on!

    Best news is, having shifted furniture, I have discovered that there are only three more floorboards ends to strip. Once that's done, the rest will be a doddle!
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
  • Back from DD2's toddler gymnastics and we've both had lunch and DD2 is now sound asleep. I cleaned the bathroom when DD2 first went to bed hoping that it was bathroom day but nevermind, at least its done now. Think I'll go and strip the bed in a minute and start tidying in there.

    SS...great news on the extra hours. Perhaps you should point DH in our direction as I'm sure with the extra hours he'll have to do a bit of flying too!!

    AnW's mum...well done on your visit to the stonemason. I think its lovely (if that's the right way to put it) that you're involving Miss A & Master W so much with decisions like that. I don't think it matters whether its 3 years or 3 weeks, you have to do things at your own pace. The idea with the initials sounds lovely.

    Toots...thanks for the special moto dust...hopefully some will land over in this direction and make me start the bedroom!

    Hugs smileyt for your works situation. Hope it improves soon.

    Will post my list so I know what I've got to do.

  • So there I was, sitting at the table, nursing a cup of coffee and feeling lazy.

    "Hmm. Should I just take the rest of the day off, now? After all, I've hung up some washing, and unpacked the dishwasher and gone to the dentist. And if I don't log in, they won't even know I'm here....." when

    BLAPP!! CLUNKKKK!!! KERPOWWWW!!

    ... this shiny silver mule flies right under my nose and nearly knocks my coffee over.

    Happy birthday to your DD SSL :bdaycake: x Sweet 16, reminds me of those brats on MTV who all need a good slap :D I'm sure your DD is wonderful x

    Isn't that the most awful programme? I think those brats should be made to do voluntary work in a hospice or a children's home in China. Little darlings would soon be counting their blessings. Mind you, its probably a bit unfair of the people in the hosice/children's homes!I think valli has a greaat phrase which sums DD up, but I cant remember what it is. Something housedevil angeloutside? And toots, dont be daft, certainly not offended. She even tidied her room last night, without me nagging lol.

    Thanks :) It was a positive day, although it's 3 years since DH died it's only now I feel ready to sort this. What with the inquest being almost 2 years after he died mentally it only feels like I have been preparing for this for the last 12/18 months, does that make sense?

    It makes perfect sense :) Your timing is perfect for you. Also, thinking about it, if you did it 3 years ago, Miss A would not have been able to be involved to the extent that she is.

    Dusty - hope you feel better soon. You've been out of sorts for a wee while havent you? I look forward to hearing about your fitflop boots. Did you not like your MBTs?

    SS - WTG!! There'll be no stopping you now :D
