    I have had a up and down couple of weeks so Im sorry for going missing!

    My house is like bedlum and its doing me in. Ive started a million jobs and it keeps going wrong.

    Little wet the bed again last week but for some unknown reason he was upside down in the bed so completely missed the waterproof bedmat that was on there! I have really struggled to get it dried out again and ended up dragging it off the bed and leaning it against the radiator in the spare room and leaving the heating on for two days!

    In the mean time I finished sorting out his toys from under the bed, got rid of a load of board games and a few bags of toys to the school Jumble sale. Ive also sent two black bags of broken toys to the bin.

    I took all of his drawers out to start going through them and to fix the drawers as they seem to have shrunk widthways and wont stay on the runners... :confused:

    Anyway, I discovered that the whole wall behind the chest of drawers was black with mould! It was like moss it was so thick and disgusting! So I took the whole chest of drawers out, moved it into the spare room. Bleached all the wall and corner, took the curtains down and washed them as I also discovered his windowsill and books were lovely and moudly too!

    Ive never had this problem before but suspect its since I had my carpets done and all the extra moisture in the house!! :eek:

    Anyway, the whole room has been degrotted and bleached from top to bottom and the curtains are back up. The toys which are allowed to stay are back in his room and I have left the window open today and a whole load of fabreze on the mattress to get rid of any last remnants of smells that may be lurking! (I have the cold so cant smell it myself!). Then I should be able to get his bed made up and get that room back to normal. (One down, all the rest to go :rolleyes: )

    My bedroom was almost done - furniture built, everything cleared out - apart from all my clothes. Ive started clearing out the summer stuff from my drawers and wardrobes and getting that away in vacuum packs but I stopped when Littleys room took over! The spare room, similarly was done and dusted. Furniture moved, and built, everything else cleared out.

    But now there are the remaining bits and bobs from DS room which need to be either rehomed or chucked!

    And the downstairs is like a pit! So......after all that - Im in again this week please :D

    Love n hugs n vibes to all as required and appropriate xxxx
