    Didn't do the full half an hour, but did some tidying in the LR and it looks much better now. It's clear enough to hoover when I'm up to it.

  • Hello everyone. I'm a little late logging on today but that's because I have been hard at work in my kitchen! All I need to do now is mop the kitchen floor but I will do that later, right now I need a rest so I'm having a sit down with a cup of tea and some leftover birthday cake.

    Afternoon campers :D Didn't get on this morning as I am tidying up the house and decluttering majorly :) DH is out buying my presents so I thought I would take advantage of this before he comes back and untidies the house. I don't know how he does it, he can be home for half an hour and the place looks like a tip :confused:

    Yesterday I emptied the main bit of the unit that needs to be removed from the living room and sometime this week I aim to empty the drawers so that it can go to the tip on Friday. Then the new unit can be put together and deccies/tree put up :)

    I am battling against raging toothache at the moment, I have jarred the gum on my left side while eating something last night and at the moment it is swollen and sore. So am taking painkillers to get it down.

    Ooooh meant to ask yesterday Soappie do you think your Dyson tool had got my crevice tool where yours was?

    Nope... you'll get a star when you start getting rid of some of the stuff you've already got!
