    Debt-free and Proud!
    Hello everyone,

    hugs and best wishes to all, thanks to Pigpen, Soappie and Toots. I'm in again this week, I didn't manage to clean Thursday's windows yet from last week and although all kids bedrooms had clean bedding and were clutter free and ship-shape, dusted and hoovered, I didn't actually need to do all levels from the list so asking for a star would have been cheating.

    DS2 is home poorly with a temperature and sore throat, head, neck and back so I am keeping a close eye on him. I have been working this morning but have been up and down like a yo-yo so am jiggered already. I will make sure today's rooms are spick and span but may not get all list done.

    I'm liking the declutter thread but again, don't need to do that much so will just pick out what I need but thanks to Dusty anyway.

    Mel x

    Afternoon all

    Not caught up yet so I hope everyone's OK.

    Today's list complete :)

    I've got two loads of washing out on the line, it's a beautiful sunny day. I also moved the outside doormat which was soaking and the path has dried up underneath and the mat as dried out too. Much better.

    Going to catch up a bit while dinner is cooking.
