      It is just so good to be able to go out without having to cope with mountains of snow! No chance of a star today, you have no idea just how big a job the cupboard under the stairs is. I definitely need DH and DS to help me with that one, it's nearly all their stuff anyway, but I do feel a star coming up for tomorrow. The living room still looks good from last week, that really is a first.
