    Thanks Greenbee, DoozyGirl, Penny and Jo and all you others for helpful thoughts and good vibes. You're all right of course. Ditched a load of stuff, big pile for Ebay, cleared out stuff not worn for a year from wardrobe and now all that's left is to put away remaining clothes. Can't hoover now because kids in bed, but will in morning. Cleared small chest of drawers and checked over top of wardrobe too. Nice to see the carpet again, it'll be even nicer tomorrow when clean ;-)
    Snow day tomorrow so will have OH and all 3 littleys. Lovely. Baby Steps - keep reminding me when I have a hissy fit! Every day it WILL get better, and cleaner and less cluttered. Thanks all!

    I had a CBA day too, havent lifted a finger to fly - sorry piggers

    Walked into town and bought DD another new bag for school which thankfully she loves as it was £30 :eek: but it is sooo cool well she described it as awesome :D (did something right at last)

    Cooked Spanish stew for tea and have made flapjacks for packups and me to stuff tomorrow

    Hopefully I will have more get up and go tomoorow to actually get something done especially as friend visiting on Thursday.

    Oh and DH is in my :mad: books. He has changed from Day shift Thurs and Fri and is doing overtime Sat Sun night then starts his own nights monday, so thats 7 x 12 hour night shifts following 24hours off, he is mental :mad:

    Hugs to all those who need then (had a quick flick at the thread) - skipsmum - thats a sickener hope its sorted soon, helen jelly poor DH, dont bother speculating about what it could be there are so many things and at least he is in the right place for a diagnosis, and the lovely piggers not B12 deficiency is it?

    I think theres a well done to JillD, vanilla's DH and also one for anyone who has done more than I have today.

    Gotta go was supposed to be in bed at 10 and DH has made me a brew

    Night all xx

    Well, I havent finished clearing all the stuff from my room, but boy, it looks a lot better than it did!

    Its been snowing here since about 9-ish and its coming down thick and fast. Its very thick and very white now and believe the school will be shut tomorrow but will just need to wait and see what tomorrow brings!! Reportedly, more snow is the answer to that question.

    Oh! And I listed the dogs kennel on Ebay which he downright refuses to use and will sit in the pouring rain instead..... 1 item down......25,000 to go :D
