    Hugs,

    My Birthdays Friday not Tuesday :D. It's my fault for the confusion:o.

    I've put the Bm on for the morning and am making a Twinks traybake. There's nothing in the house except a sandwich for Ds1 to take to school tomorrow so i had to make something. My shopping should be delivered tomorrow if it doesn't snow any more.

    Mudders - top idea old girl - I'm copying

    Less of the old if you don't mind!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I've made a start already as I've had a million people (no, i'm not prone to exaggeration!) drop by today and I've not been totally ashamed of my house as in previous years. Anyway, although I wasn't totally ashamed I also wasn't totally proud! As the children get older their friends drop by more, our friends drop by more so I'm going to have a house to be proud of.

    Today I have;
    - washing load
    - fed disgusting muesli to the birds
    - entered the cupboard of doom in the kitchen (three opened packets of caster sugar, three opened boxing of stuffing - you get the picture!) and cleared a shelf
    - decluttered dogs bowels on a walk
    - spent 15 minutes putting some of DS's toys away in his room and realised his room needs a bit of re-organisation to accommodate his new presents.
    - decluttered DD's old coat into the charity bag
    - put three charity bags by front door to go in car with other 4 charity bags to TAKE THEM TO THE SHOP!

    So, a productive day and I can honestly say I like my house!

    Putting my feet up for half an hour and then bed unless anyone fancies a HHC???
