    Morning All, followed you all for the last few weeks, I was back to work yesterday so back to reality and would love to join you and all your clean-ness!

    I think I may be level 1 for a good while, with working, 3 boys, OH and dog, but hope within a few months to be as good as you all are!

    Any help or tips you can give me to get going would be so appreciated, thanks

    Morning,

    Hope your hubby is ok Helen, sounds scary.

    Congratulations Scared, very exciting news!

    Congratulations to you too Zoe, i organised my wedding in about 4 months. We got married on a wednesday though as it was easier to book stuff midweek on short notice. Only slight headache was the dress, as it wasnt an off the peg type dress and was specially made and fitted i was a little limited in my choice. I did get the one i wanted though.

    Still feeling pretty rubbish, this cold is really hanging about:confused: Will make a start in a minute.

Will have a backlog now for next week but did manage to run out in pj's with the recycling boxes ....

    Mudbath - hope you are feeling better
    Greenbee - Did toy with the idea of binbags but the suitcases look so much better :D Now all I have to do is get rid of them :rolleyes: Have filled a charity bag though also
    Scared and Zoe - Congratulations
    Jinky - Plopster eh? :rotfl:Glad all was ok with DD :kiss:
