    The DDD's room is now all clean and tidy and put back together, she has been told in no uncertain terms NOT to take food or drink up there again....but already she asked if she canrolleyes.gifmur.gifwouldnt take no for an answer, tried to do a deal:rotfl:
    Tell her you found rat droppings :p or show her the stuff piggers found on mice in toasters :D

    DW emptied, stuff put away, DW filters cleaned. Grubby stuff bunged in DW... gosh my life is exciting :o

    Keeping a beady eye on the work my colleague told me he'd be doing today... and no change to the document so far in the system rolleyes.gif (now I wonder where jinky found that smiley :huh:) and the guy doing the review for me has gone quiet too... if none of it is done by tomorrow morning I will take some executive decisions...

    DD4 had hers dislocate when she was about 2.5.. getting jammies on.. daddy holding her wrist and taking her to get dressed.. she had a major aversion to clothes.. she didn't want jammies so took her feet off the floor.. so dislocating elbow.. she has major hypermobility and we were told it would happen loads and it never has happened since.


    Thanks for that - will stop watching him in such a hawk-like manner now lol!

  • Not trying for stars this week, but I decluttered the floor of the pantry and can now step into it and face the shelves instead of leaning in and trying to reach what I needed :o

    Note to self - read from #150 to here!

    Evening all, just a quick jump in, just back from youth group planning meeting, so not a drop of flying done all night long except decluttered a platter of Twinks cookies (my edible contribution to the planning process!!!).

    Haven't read all the posts, but hoping everyones well and sending hugs to everyone who would like one xx

    Sorry toots, despite your 'encouragement', I didn't make it into the girls room. Might get them to join in and do it on Thurs eve as that's an evening free of activities.

    However, I am very pleased with the progress made in other areas. As well as other stuff, managed to get get the first wardrobe carcass built and shelves etc in place. Got a fence panel put back in place and made secure so the dog can't keep escaping. And tidied up some general rubbish in the garden & shed. :)
