    Good morning,

    Firstly hugs for Mudbath, Zoelikesjam and Froddington, and anyone else I have missed who wants or needs them. New job/work vibes for Soappie

    At home today so should catch up again. The big shop is due mid morning but other than that fingers crossed for a peaceful day.

    Hi everyone, :hello:
    I picked up on this thread yesterday and in my typical style was so impatient that I couldn't wait until next week to post!

    I hate the clutter and mess in my house and equally hate cleaning it! I usually require 24hrs notice of visitors and dread people dropping in! I even spare a thought for the window cleaner!!! :o

    So, I've looked around the house with "new eyes" and done a bit of picking up as I've wandered around. My lists will be little to start with - don't want to fall at the first hurdle and lose heart! Hope its ok with you all for me to drop in and update you. I know that putting my list on here with motivate (shame) me into making sure I do it!

    Please, please wish me luck!
    :);) AF since 10.04.11 :):D
