Morning everyone.

Its very dark and heavy rain here today. Im just pleased the snow is away. The downstairs has been S&Sed and the second load of washing is on. just decluttering a cuppa before I start upstairs. Will do everything but the hoovering as Im waiting for a parcel from craghoppers so need to hear the door. Hope it comes today. I want to relax this afternoon as I have a new book I want to start.

toochoosy I know what you mean re hob. Since I got my new bathroom in I enjoy keeping it clean.
skipsmum Hugs and hope you get some sleep.
g&b Well Done! Congratulations. :T
rose Well done on getting a star.
Toots and Lady L. Big hugs. Thinking of you both.

here if you've got 5 minutes!

phizzimum

star for thursday please toots ! ta muchly!

decluttered makeup - not too bad as I had done this quite recently, but I didn't realise that I had 2 bottles of foundation on the go (I'd taken a new one on holiday, and forgotten about the old one). I've also been trying to use up all the sachets of moisturiser, body lotion etc that I have accumulated.

had good sort out of linen cupboard. I now realise that I do NOT need any new bedding or towels - no matter how tempting the new Next directory may be! There are a few things I need to fling...but then again we do have friends staying quite often so at times I need all that extra bed linen...I really do . and as for the baby blankets - well, I might have a baby come round for a nap...oh don't make me get rid of the baby blankets!
