Hi everyone

I've been flying, but not on the living room, which I'm going to tackle tomorrow evening, with the help of DH and DD when I get back from work.

Honest.

I decided that - given that today was linen day (though I'm not officially on that list, but all the same - what a fab idea!) - I would go and sort out a couple of drawers in my bedroom and clean in there instead. We did the beds/turning the mattress at the weekend, so not a lot to do, really.

Sat down and started with the drawer I couldn't shut last week: my earrings, nick-nacks, photos, 'I-love-Mummy'-note, Valentine cards drawer of doom...:eek:, in my bedside table.

Threw out loads of old receipts, broken earrings etc; and then found a whole stash of things I'd forgotten: DD's little pink baby 'bracelets' from the hospital when she was new-born, the scans from when she was a little prawn at 12 weeks, the tiny plastic zip-lock with a few little blond curls from her first hair-cut..... Oh my. :o:o

So I had a long look, sitting on the floor with my back to the bed; and then packed them all away in a pretty box, and put it all safely in a different drawer. :cool:

I did finish the bedroom (which I'll claim another day), and my earrings are now all put away in the right boxes, in a drawer which will now open and shut. :T:T

Not sure whether the other one will now....:rotfl:

Hugs to all who want one

Managed to get the kitchen finished this morning before I went out. My colleague and I were allowed to see our ill colleague for a couple of minutes today. She managed to squeeze our hands. I was pleased we got to see her but a bit upset afterwards. Towels in the washer just waiting for them to finish.

Soappie Hope you interviews were easy today.
PP Hope DSs maths exam went well and your meeting.
rosepink Glad the flat cleaning went well.
Mudbath. Awww. What did you tell him about the tooth fairy.
