  • Thanks to Pigpen, Toots and Soappie again for all your help.

    Got three stars last week, but wasn't really happy that I had done much! Am determined to do better this week, and I'm really pleased it's the kitchen first, because I didn't get round to it last week...

    [... and also because DH spilt lamb stock on the utility room floor this evening, which he has "mopped up" so-to-speak... but you can see the mark still, and the floor looks suspiciously slimy around about...:eek:. A good scrub, methinks, tomorrow....:D]

    Have spent the weekend successfully sorting out the coats which I removed last week from my utility room. They've all been washed, and we've identified 7 (yes SEVEN) coats/jackets/hooded tops and three woolly hats which DD has outgrown and which can go to charity tomorrow. (One coat was aged 5-6. She's 12 now....:rotfl:).

    We can now hang everything up without it all falling off as you walk by! It's bliss!

    I've got to do all the label removing, folding and packing tomorrow if it's all dry.

    See you all tomorrow...

    Welcome Newbies

    Hopefully we are going to be tackling under our bed this week - getting rid of what's not needed, dust monsters and any mold that has grown since we last looked down there. Fortunately our bed folds up in to the wall, so won't need a miner's lamp and ropes! LOL!

    Hi everyone. I'm sorry to have disappeared. I just don't have time to keep up with this thread. I'm still flying, and gave myself a star four days last week, but don't have time to read or post. Sorry.
