    Hi All

    Have been very busy today although i did the living room earlier in the week i have totally gutted it today and washed and rehung the curtains.

    All the washing has been done and is currently drying on the clothes horse and the shower rail in the bathroom.

    I have finally warmed up last night aas i have been cold for a few weeks now and boy am i glad.

    This week i have the conservatory to gut and our bedroom and thats the whole house done and dusted (pardon the pun).

    Toots i can sympathise with you about your mother mine is the same do you know she has bought me a large box of Thorntons for Christmas !!!!!
    (for those who don't know i had weight loss surgery in May and don't eat chocolate and my mother does know this!!!!)

    We went to the garden centre today for ds to pick a new bauble for the tree ready for when we trim up and he could not decide which one he wanted. He said he would think about it and come back again later!!

    We have bought a couple of decorations one for the mantle and one for the window and they look lovely and festive.

    Valli have you posted your cards yet? Wondered if you wanted to put them in with mine and mummy's xx

    Chesterfield ladies and anyone else who wants to.
    Would you like to meet up for a coffee next Thursday morning ?
    PM me if your coming and we can decide where.

    Hugs for all who need them.

    Need to go shopping and get some wrapping paper then i can get cracking with the rest of the shopping.

    Hope you are pleased with your home shopping spree Yvonne xx

    Last two presents ordered... I still have to work out what I'm giving my aunt and uncle & cousins, but I'm hoping I can sort something out from my stash in my present drawer, which has got out of control!!!

    Better go and finish the washing up, find some food and write the next batch of cards.

    L-L - will send the flylady cards on the next day I work from home, so I can get to the post office
  • you're not the only one - I have a thumping head and a runny nose!

    take care of yourself!


    snap - same here. Sorting out mounds of playmobil & lego isn't helping....but the Rudolf "look" is I suppose quite festive!

    Ohh, goody, Norad Santa site is up and running. The games are fun and we like the countdown clock.

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
