    Hi, I'm in again! My lovely bedroom I finished last week looks like a bomb has landed - how does that happen!? I must admit I'm finding it a struggle being at work all day then having to do housework when I get home. I don't know how you all do it, especially with kids too! OH is never going to propose :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
