    Blimey Luc, slow down missus! :D :T

    I have shelves. I have a clothes rail. I have a sore thumb from stabbing it with a screwdriver....

    I have lovingly arranged all my shoes in see-through boxes and stacked them in the 'shoe section' of my wardrobe. Next job is to sort through handbags and put them neatly in the 'bags' section. Then I will hang all the clothes in.

    New curtains are up too, but need taking up 20cm and ironing, so don't look perfect yet. Think that can be a job for my Mum. I may be a kick-ass, independant, 'who-needs-a-man-anyway' woman, but I'm damned if I'm going to start sewing! :D :whistle:

    Another posting slacker crawling in. I miss nattering to you lot :o

    Well done Snags! I really want see-through boxes for my shoes but they seem really expensive. Oh, while you're around, can I pick your brain re: mortgages if you're around later?

    Oh and PAP is a superstar, once again :D

    Course you can hun - I don't know tons about them but I'm pretty good on the basics.

    I've got two different kinds of shoe boxes - some completely see-through ones that came from B&M - think they were £5 for 4 boxes. And some Ikea ones which are cream fabric, with a see-through front. They are a bit more, £8 for 4 I think but you can fit two pairs in each unless they are bulky like trainers.

    For any of us feeling guilty about not matching Luc in the flylady stakes switch on the tv - Kim & Aggy -More 4 (channel 14 ). Watching makes me feel virtuous anywhoo ! ;)

    I have the heart pendant, it's lovely, I don't wear it very often though for fear of losing it, but it's a fab idea and really is a nice gift to receive.

    Think I'll go with that then. He's difficult to get for and my budget is tight this year so no repeat of the Wii extravaganza last year. Just need to think of b'day present now (16th Dec:rolleyes:)
