    Doing quite well today, all those months of hard work are finally paying off.

    Going to wrap the ebay parcels next and do a list for when I go to town.

    Embb - how is Lily now her stitches are out?

    Mudders - still thinking of you and yours and hoping that your DS is improving.

    LL and Toots - hoping today is a good, pain free one for you both

    Greenbee - thanks, I new I had heard of it. DH got a tick once in France, it was vile!

    Morning all....
    Hope everyone is well?

    I'm in again this week...managed to do a bit of the kitchen last night (hoping against hope that it would be the kitchen today!).

    Still got a bit left to do today, but I want also to finish tidying up my living room - the new furniture arrived on Friday and we've spent most of the weekend sorting things round. You never knew there were so many dust bunnies! Still a few piles of things to tidy and sort, but at last I've got a proper living room....I just need to sort out some paint and decorate it now.

    Right, I'd better be off - hoping to get some more washing on the line (it probably won't dry, but at least it'll start....).

    Take care and see you later

    Washing sorted - three loads to do :rolleyes: One load in.

    I'm now showered and almost dressed... need to work out what to wear (as you all know this is something I'm not very good at!) ... then I can hang out the washing, put another load on and go for a walk in the sunshine which hopefully will cheer me up and make me less creaky. I'm having one of those moments where I'm overwhelmed by how much there is to do and can't work out how to get it done.

    I've had the quotes in now for the first bit of the garden, which are fine, but I can't work out when I'm going to find the time to move all the plants, as it'll soon be dark both before and after work! But I do need to get a move on so that all the landscaping is done before the spring and I can put everything together how I want it.

    Oh well... back to the laundry :D

    Morning everyone, just going to go crack on getting things done today and not chatter too much. I need to take the landrover up to a tints specialist at some point too, boys being such a nightmare with light they are travelling with towels over them if it's sunny at the mo so think we'll have to get the windows done.

    rose - nice purse, my SiL has got me into Cath Kidston stuff. I bought a funky coin/card purse for my travelcard yesterday - we have a shop here that sells lots of that kind of thing.
    I know - it was you getting one that gave me the idea! I'd been thinking of getting a new purse for ages, and then when I saw your post I had a look at her purses and fell in love!

    Tesco shopping has arrived - I've put away the fridge stuff. Have washed up, need to clean kitchen next. Have been tidying, more unpacking too. Went through the post, yet more bills. I'm getting a bit overwhelmed again. I can't seem to keep up and get them all paid in time. It's my own fault, I just forget to write them in my book and get them paid. I need to make a few more of them direct debits I think so it's a bit more foolproof. Then all I need to worry about is getting the money into the account in time. It's a bit of a juggling act at the moment, we are getting so many default charges its unreal. DH has a good day today - should be earning a couple of hundred so that will go towards the rent on tues.

    Anyway, enough of that. We will get there eventually.

    HHC at 12:10 anyone?
