First job tomorrow is packing all kitchen stuff away and washing down the wood work with sugar soap so that OH can do the painting when he gets home. Oh and I need to find some not too girly pink paint for the feature wall ( I was about to ask OH if there was such a thing but just agreed so it will be as girly as I can find ....mmmm... I wonder if you can buy glitter paint) and some new cheap wall lights the ones I have are a horrid left over from when we moved here.

So pleased that your shadow is well on the mend froddington - that must be such a relief.
Ishtar, sorry to hear about your mums diagnosis, but at least it would appear that it can be contained and treated. I hope that they can arrange the treatment soon, and hope that her lymph nodes are clear. Your support will be so good for her. XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Morning All
DD is being rude and uncooperative this morning so not a good start to the day!
So far this morning I've done a HHI, unloaded the WM and sorted the freezer as I needed mince out for tonight so thought I may as well get that job done at the same time.
