  • Just realised I've not been on today to tell you I'm ok, sorry! Hope everyone is well. I've not caught up, need to read from p.65 onwards.
    We went out today and had a lovely lovely time, and then I came home and slept, and then when I got up had to help DH make dinner cos he's still got his headache. We are both sitting here half dead this evening! But I'm really glad we went out, it did us good, and we got lots of encouragement and learned interesting things about the Bible. It was so lovely seeing lots of our friends, really wonderful day.
    Love and hugs to you all, especially Lady Liberty and Diva xx

    Thanks to all of you for your kind words, i'm really thankful for it.

    Still waiting for DH to get home so I can have a tear :o

    I know how clean it is to how we have been in the past - I can smell the bleach on my hands still - and that's after a bath :rotfl:

    I love the lists given and the levels - I haven't even been tempted to cheat and miss something out or say that I have done something when I haven't - i've turned a corner. I never thought I would spend my Sunday up the ladders cleaning over the tops of door frames and such like.

    You are all really a lovely kind bunch and I am so glad I found this place, I too will be a domestic godess - regardless of who around me thinks what, so long as I am happy and DH stops sneezing :p
    sweety this is a step child ... it's probably his version of tact IYSWIM - sometimes they cannot bring themselves to say the nice things they should be able to...and maybe he's being a bit defensive of his mum - he won't want you to be better then her IYSWIM...even if you are ...which would appear to be the case;)

    Help, please. I haven't organised my paperwork for ages and I'm not sure how long to keep things for (e.g. bank statements). A friend told me that he only keeps last year's, but after my mum died, I was told to keep anything important for 10 years. I'm confused.

    Will see you all on the new thread, but I'll check this one tomorrow, in case anyone has an answer to my question on her. Or pm me, if that's ok.
    Listen again to Money Box on R4 iplayer as they were talking today about Feb 1 being 'bonfire day' and did say how long you need to keep stuff for (I wasn't listening though... I may have thrown out everything else but can't yet bring myself to get rid of old bank statements and bills... although I may well change my mind now I can use them to light the stove!)

    Good luck with the letters sexymouse :beer:
    I've managed to catch up on a bit of work... all my notes for fixing the piece I was collaborating on are in the document ready to work on tomorrow and talk through with my mentor. Off to find the new thread now...
