    Just posting an observation -
    - every time my husband gets the kids up and does ths childcare all day he is then in bed by 8pm:cool::cool: He is as we speak asleep on the bed. He would say it is jetlag but that doesnt explain the occasions like this when he hasnt just flown back from a week away :rotfl:

    Hi all,

    I didnt get my bedroom finished this week..... :rolleyes:

    I didnt manage to clear out my drawers, although i have cleared out the clothes rails!! :eek: My Ebay pile is massive and I havent gotten to any of that this week either!

    Im going to carry on with the bedroom this week and get stuff listed!!!!!!!!! I also need to do other jobs which ive only discovered this weekend, like I seem to have been losing curtain hooks and not noticing!!! :rolleyes: I dont know how thats even possible! :rotfl:

    I have established that I really really need a wardrobe though... Ive been keeping my eye open on Ebay and Freegle hoping I dont need to spend a lot of money. Ive just started working again obviously and trying to spend my money as wisely as possible.

    Ive had a rough time personally and thinks didnt work out like I thought they would and am trying now to make my house a home and have managed on a limited budget to get it looking pretty good! Everything has either been picked up in the sales, from Ebay or Freegle...

    So with the bedroom, I will carry on!! xx

    Are you doing the Shoebox appeal by any chance? I'm trying to source several too,

    Proud mother alert.........I'm just back from a weekend of skiing - DD's school team won the English under 19 champs, and DS's team came second in the under 16s.....a tiring weekend, but well worth it :T.

    Have arrived home to see that OH has kept the place reasonably tidy, therefore not ruining all my efforts of last week, so I am pleased to say "count me in" for this week, please!

    I hope everyone who was feeling poorly last week, feels better now, and for anyone who needs them, hugs and fluffiness coming your way x
