  • Good morning!

    DD2 decluttered to playgroup now so peace and quiet for a while! Well I cleaned the carpets last night but think I might need to do them again as I think the washer didn't work to well. Don't think it will happen today though.

    I have had no hot water during the day at the moment. I am on Economy 7 and the water heats up during the night but there is something wrong with the daytime booster so it doesn't heat up during the day. Bit of a pain but hopefully someone will come out soon and fix it.

    I have also already cleaned the oven this morning, it looks lovely now! Just got to keep it that way. There is still horrible stuff behind the wall of where the fan sits but I am not too bothered about that as you can't see it lol. It will come off in time. I should get my second star today!!!

    Hugs to all that need it!

    Some serious dot2dotting in the mini ROD :eek: ie this room :eek: I have taken before pics and when (was going to say if, tut tut) it is finished I will take after pics. If I am feeling brave I might post them :o

    listed 3 items on freecycle from the bit I have cleared and have a winnie the pooh lamp for Akela's DD for her baby, or Aklea for when she sleeps there. Her DD is still pregnant and delivery anytime now would be good :) she is about 34/35 weeks.

    Carrying on now til 11

    I havn't had chance to catch up with the thread yet. Just sat trying to compose myself with a coffee! Been shopping this morning, carried all the shopping bags into the house at once - very heavy - I bent over the baby gate in the sitting room to plop the bags down and the gate wasn't shut!!! Needless to say I went flying with all the shopping bags flat on my face, legs in the air and the front door was wide open for all the world to see :rotfl:
