    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker
    Thanks LL what I also found were coats that I have not worn for ages and some of DH's will fit me :) It was going through the pockets an finding his chewing gum that really did for me!

    Anyway I have put some stuff in the loft, including clothes for W from our neighbour 2 doors down, their son is 7 years older than W and they keep passing his outgrown stuff for W! Latest lot is age 12. I sort through as they pass it on and either keep/charity or pass on myself what we don't want. W has already worn some of the things and they in turn have been charitied/passed on.

    The landing floor is a lot clearer as a result. I got a kids desk down from the and shall be bunging that on freecycle. Jigsaw to go for a work colleague's boy, books for another, stuff WILL be dispatched from this house!

    ETA lunch now I am starving, must be going up and down the loft :rotfl:

    Finish making 'warm fluffies'

    Crafty I have to ask what are "warm fluffies"? :)
    :rotfl:
    I did wonder who would spot that.
    In this case 4" square 'cushions' of bright cotton - as opposed to "cold pricklies" which are made of dull cotton.
    They are for a school drama.
  • Thinking of you AnW'sMum. I remember doing this with my mum when dad passed away in 05 so I can kind of understand how you must be feeling so big hugs x

    Just looked at todays list and seen that I need to tidy/clean/defluff/de-sticky the cookbooks :eek: I have 2 shelves full in the kitchen - as i'm at college tonight this will wait until the weekend I think. Will also give me the ideal opportunity to offload some.

    Will try to pop by after college and update Tuesday list

    Have a lovely afternoon

    We spent an hour in with the school yesterday, DD's teacher and head teacher where there and i'm hoping that things will start to improve.
    They have said that DD can stay indoors at break and dinnertime as they have no toys in the playground so all the kids play tig (she hates it because she can't catch anyone).
    They did say they would look into getting things that all children can play with. They also offered PPDS to help her, which sounds promising. I think they now realise how much it's upsetting her. I hoping the namecalling and ganging up will stop now. When we arrived at the school yesterday DD and another girl where both in tears because there had been a bit of trouble. Then 2 other girls (who are known for ganging up on DD) come in and hugged DD and said they were sorry, teacher asked them what had they done, they said nothing they where just sorry that DD was upset( Confused icon). They give her so much cr*p it's awful. As soon as they left i told the teacher that it's all stagged.:mad:

    Anyway we'll see how it goes.

    Good news is that the builders are knocking through today (it's a 7 inch wall) and Rhys is sleeping through it.:j:j

    Bad news dog !!!!!! all over the hall again, i swear he is out from now on and no puppy dog eyes will make me change my mind.:rotfl:


    Right cuppa to warm up and i'll start the list, cuppa's all round everyone...:coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
