Hello all :j

mum2one - love the challenge..........so many glory holes here I wouldn't know where to start.....lol
Never did do bedroom before but have suggested to OH that pine blanket box be re-located to another bedroom so we have more space and he couldn't remember what was in it anyway...............lol (nor can I........:rotfl:)
So think that'll be my 'clear out' zone if thats ok.

I'll miss out on the Easter egg hunt as I've already got Easter sorted.............had a couple of creme eggs given me that I've put in Noddy and Big Ears egg cups for my two sons -they had them years ago when they were little, little grandson is having flannel bunny with small box of mini eggs inside(already done and ready to post)
Got some decorated eggs and put them in an egg box for other sons girlfriend -he gets the big ears egg cup,
teenage grandchildren are having money -they're 17 and I'm at a loss with them.

Birthday cards...........can I show off and say I've done mine up till July................:j

OH does the cooking so I'll have to 'suggest' something and 'me time' ................oh yes, I'll find a slot for that

I love the challenge Mum2one. :j

I absolutely gutted the living room on Monday. Got rid of 5 black bags of stuff. Don't ask!!! It's now all clear.

My job this month is to sort DD2's room again (my fault). I don't mind the ironing but hate putting it away. It gets piled up and piled up, and she always wants to wear whats at the bottom of the pile, and it all ends up in a mess. Need to re-iron and hang her clothes up. Toys are ok, so the job should only take an hour at most.

I do need to make some more b/day cards, and will have a go at a couple for christmas while I'm at it, I think. Kids break up on Thursday next week so I'll try and fit it in next week as I have the Avon to deliver again, tonight, tomorrow and Saturday evenings, and books to deliver on Monday! It's all go!!!

Good luck everyone.

I had a phone call off my Dad last night - he was reminding me I'd forgotten his birthday.:eek: I didn't actually forget as such - but I just don't know what day it is lately! All yesterday I thought it was Monday.:rotfl:

It's a rainy day here in the Highlands, so decided to have a tidy in the spare bedroom I use for ironing, storing stuff etc - the Christmas tree and decorations were still in there, waiting to be put up into the loft!!!

The tree etc has now all been stored away, and I even forced myself to get some of the ironing out of the way - so feeling very pleased with myself.

LOL I've done that a few times since I started the Christmas organising threads Was he angry?

Mum2One - I love the new challenge and you must be telepathic as I've had the 'sorting under the stairs' on my to-do list for months. As well as trying out a new recipe.

I can't remember now if we've had those posts where we all list what we did in the February challenge?

Great challenge Mum2One! Will have a look at which bits I can do....

Here's the cake I made for my mum! (Hoping this works!)

Anglea - No he wasn't angry. It's just a joke in my house as I'm so forgetful! Everyone says I'd lose my head if it wasn't screwed on!
