    Gosh fabulous! Next week I will have one back at school and one at nursery for two and a half days I during those times I will be seriously working to grow my business (with my toddler helping me to meet more people). I have such a great opportunity to share and I think I have only just realised that I am not sharing it to its full potential :idea: so I really will have to be organised to fit everything in! That is why my lists are big this week for housey stuff - to clear the way for next week!

    :T:T:T go you! wishing you lots of luck!

    Lazy lazy me! I'm still slowly working my way through cleaning up my house after the complete upend that occurred the other day when we moved some furniture around. We are having the carpet laid in the living room next weekend, and then we'll be moving on the alternating between working on doing the walls and stairs in the entryway and painting the last coat on our bedroom (without getting any paint on our new carpet up there! LOL), plus getting the garden ready for summer. Yikes!

    Add that to my usual stuff, and it makes for a busy couple months ahead. I am hoping to have this house up to snuff by Christmas... of course, we said that last year - but this year it's more of a reasonable goal! :rotfl:
