    Ok - am home from work. Have walked up to school and back with dog to collect Little one and have let dog run around in the field for 20 minutes or so. So thats that done for now.

    Have decluttered a slice of WW apple crumble and am opening my box of box files....think i will make a cup of tea and do some filing and shredding with another itty bitty piece of cake :D

    Could you ask on there about the clothes that Pigpen's nephew needs? Sounds like a pretty desperate situation.

    Yes i will do! Thats a good idea. :T Ive also asked my friend who has two teenagers....they are a bit older but I know she said they are terrible hoarders when it comes to their clothes and they had stuff that they hadnt worn for years..... so some might fit Piggers, is it nephew?

    Anyway, back to my filing....

    Afternoon everyone!

    Hope everyone is okay today.

    I don't do kids rooms, they are 16 & 20 so more than capable of doing their own!

    So I've mended the curtain tie-backs & sewn a button back on my coat, both long overdue jobs! Then I pulled out both our bedside cabinets & washed the wall, paintwork & carpet behind them as it doesn't get done very often :p Feels much fresher in there now!

    Have put my name down for a parachute jump:eek::eek::eek: with work for a local charity this morning. What was I thinking!

    I'm off to cook tea now & mull over what I've done....
