    Ditto....
    I really need to repaint the woodwork in the bathroom...
    I did the prep about 3 weeks ago... so there is nothing "techically" stopping me :rolleyes:
    And I have a bit of skirting missing in the kitchen.
    Then I wouldn't mind getting the back bedroom done for Hogmany :D

    I might give it a start next week too. :T
    ok then, I will if you will, nice to know I will not be doing it on my own!

    Thanks dusty, sexymouse and hex. I'm okay, it's the preparation for a new crown, having broken the old one a couple of weeks ago. Fed up at having to pay out so much at this time of year, but not in pain as such. I've been casting covetous glances at a very neat notebook in a local Toshiba outlet, and I could have had it for the same price as the crown.:rolleyes:

    I've done two lots of washing. That's it.

    Diva, I'm so impressed with that level of dedication.:p:D:D

    Bit late, but I'll join you :D Want to get the place tidy before DS and DD's friend arrive :T

  • I'm not being very productive! I've made the chilli, had some for lunch, yummm!

    Since then, I've hung out laundry, sat and my lightbox and knitted.

    Have also stuck a little bit of a sticky label on my nail as I've got a break really far down below the white bit and it's going to hurt when it breaks! Have painted over the label with clear and then purple, so hopefully it will hold it! Cut the nail short too so it won't get caught on anything and rip.

    Really must do something I spose. Will clean the front door now

    Mudbath, great news about your DD and DS, and also about your DH’s ‘thing’

    Hugs Carol, hope everything goes well this weekend, glad your presentation was good

    Hugs Serena, hope your mouth is better soon

    Lil_me glad to hear about DS’s school place

    Macpep hope your back is better soon

    Hugs AJ

    Sexy well done on getting your schoolwork done

    Have cleaned the front door both sides, took the coats off the back first. Also cleaned the wooden bit under the door that you step on to get in, would that be called the lintel? It's the bit the doorstep would fit on to if it was outside, as we are in a block, no doorstep.

    Spose I could go and tackle the floordrobe on my side of the bed

    Am in a really can't be bothered mood today, just don't care about the flying in the least bit!
