Well I've read soappie's masterpiece, and I have to say I'm very impressed I hope she wasn't checking her email every five minutes, as I was downstairs reading for a bit...

Greenbee, you're very kind and I thank you whole heartedly for your comments.

~sobs with relief, comes out from the corner, removes thumb from mouth and puts blanket away~

And no, I wasn't checking every 5 minutes, I managed to pace it to be every 10 minutes...

Your response has given me the will to continue on the same vein. I'll reply to the email in a bit.

Dinner decluttered and pots sorted.

lil_me

grateful I am pleasd they came up trumps for you, you had us all worried xx
Triker well done, lovely idea but it doesn't suprise me as we know what a lovely person you are xx
polka, I'd speak to school when you are ready, my friends little one had extra visits & stuff before term started incase she needed to start later but of course you need to follow local rules on when to start or register home school I think so be best to speak to them.

As for the timings, I had to get the wagon to go round the back while they got the van out as it got stuck in the ice, that closely timed!!

Must admit I love warm fuzzy feelings, I got one today when I got a hug for my sofa, madly some think I gave it away, not that old & not even used for 2 years but it went to someone who really needed it & deserved some good luck. The hug was worth more than any £ notes.

Sorry not done the days list, ended up going out to get pooch a new bed as he's got too used to being on the old sofa. He's in it now, seems to like it, but climbed onto the sofa when I went upstairs earlier. Think this might take a while but my fault for spoiling him. Tried to get some leather conditioner but was no decent one, will have to go somewhere better I think, going to have a look online for recommendations of which to use.

We've had a splutter of snow, hope it clears off tomorrow so DP can go to/have a half decent night @ work, been quieter & quieter every new year for a long time.

EDIT : Oh oh oh confession, BUT A MONEY SAVING ONE I am going to make a 'sale' purchase, DP wanted to buy 2 arcylic pictures done of our photos....priced them at £240-£320 so compromise, I need a better printer instead of one that does *pink* assignments & I need a scanner (DS1 sat on mine, you might remember that story) , going to buy a new printer/all in one/photo printer widget then he can do his own photos. Seen one in Comet for £99.99 reduced from £199.99, cheapest price on internet £149.99 with £50 off. So going to buy that.

The last 3 days have been spent achieving Monday's Level one as my house is extremely cluttered. I've spent:
3 x 1hr decluttering and filing
45mins hoovering the sofa, downstairs and the landing.
50 mins doing the laundry.

Well done Rachel!! I need to do lots of decluttering....you have inspired me!! I hope my inspiration lasts till tomorrow! :rotfl:
