    Morning Ladies!

    My kitchen/dining room is an ongoing disaster, so will spend the morning in sorting out 100's recipes lying about, and tackling hot spots on floor:rotfl::rotfl:It will be so pleasing once I have a clear floor!

    Hope everyone is OK today.

    did a load in the kitchen yesterday...and got moaned at because i hadn't finished the ironing:mad::mad::mad:.

    Sadly it is a smallish semi and the ironing doesnt have a regular home!

    However the draining rack was cleared last night - so if i get the floor done today i will feel good about it!

    off to put more washing in the machine - sadly the weather forecast was correct - it is throwing it down!
