    Toots, you are a star, as always, and say all the right things, DD has sorted her room, I just need to do the bedding and dusting. re- The attic, I think it will be slow progress till I get sorted with the doc as spoke to a few people and it souds like it could be gallstones, and from going in the attic for the caravan stuff, it seems to strain(?) it(either that or I was up and down the stairs with stuff too much!!).........Anyway.....doctors on Wed, so will find out more then, Thanks again xx

    Thanks Soappie & toottifrooti, finally managed to get back on here after a year!! It’s a year next week since we came out to Oz and its took me all that time to settle and start to get back into some sort of routine!! Finally feel like I’m starting to do it.

    Got to work today so leaving DH in charge of tidying the kitchen and hopefully he will get DD’s to do their room, I’ll try and finish the list when I get home but probably wont happen!

    :hello:Hi ladies! I've been run off my feet with work this week, so have hardly been here - I've just read through the thread really fast, so hugs to all of you who would like one!

    I had to go into work today (not a day I'm paid for, but needs must) as I am going to France next week with year 8, and had to plan all the lessons and prepare all the resources.

    I came home at 2pm, starving as I hadn't stopped for lunch, to find the house smelling deliciously of ginger - DS1 felt like baking a cake, and he had also planned the evening meal - and cooked it - Puerto Rican chicken with rice, from the Levi Roots cook book he was given at Christmas. He's also taking on all the cooking next week as well. Big thank you treat in order there I think.

    I have a longish list of stuff to do tomorrow, and will get some flying done over the weekend as well - bathroom essential, and also a whisk round to finish off some other bits.

    Need to flop out in front of the TV for a while...

    ps - dusty - love the anniversary blitz, but will postpone until the week after...

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    I bought that book for my DS for Christmas but I don't think he's cooked anything yet - was it nice?
