Wednesday Star please T:D:Dts!
Had builder round today to look at windows and roof. Had Warm Front round to look at insulation. In between times did Wednesdays list and managed to declutter 3 binbags from the :eek:Attic of Doom:eek:. Also got 4 items of school uniform handed down and handed 6 on ....more out than in:T.
Today I finally feel that I might be making some progress - just a little - but I can detect that the house is marginally less cluttered and quite a bit easier to clean...Am I flying at last?!

I have bought my class a present - the WHOLE class!
I have bought a new spotty dustpan and brush for my classroom, because, of course, the last one I bought has been borrowed - again! :grr:;) - result - one clean floor! I might have to but another set (only £1.50 in Mr M!)
Is it better to go in tomorrow and Friday and risk not getting better, or should I take all of the week off? Just worried that the time off is next to a holiday so it looks bad.
Well I think I'm going to head back to bed to keep warm.
Hugs to LadyL - if you need to call me today, you know I'm home.

Me:- yes when it is the list.
OH:- well you are not doing a very good job!, you can see in there now and look!!!:mad:
