  • Morning!

    Right, I really need to buckle down now. Only one month til the decs go up :j

    Went awol again half way thru last week :o but I did have a busy week. Sproglets were at home on half term, it was also mums 60th so did a few bits with her - lunch out, a girlie night out at the theatre, then we did her a surprise party on saturday night. Typically at my house :rolleyes: which meant my kitchen and LR had that 'morning after the night before' look yesterday. On the upside tho, I did most of the kitchen yesterday so I might, just might, get a star if I crack on with it today :T

    Off I go then..... Well maybe just a quick :coffee: first ;)HHC at 10.30?
    I need direction to perfection...

    Well that HHC didn't go to plan:rolleyes: i spent most of it ordering Xmas presents online then i took all the dry stuff off the airer and put it away. I decided that as i only had 1 thing to iron i'd get out my hand steamer thing. It took longer than getting the ironing board out would have:confused:. Oh well that's done and put away now as well.

    I'm going to do another HHc at 10.30.
