BenWs mum big hugs.
I've done very little these last few days, it seems the more i tidy the more mess appears and usually in the places i've just tided.:mad:
Kids have been told that as soon as they get home they are going to tidy their room and toyroom. Here's hoping anyway.
I need to go into town and then get this utility room started. I'm still banging on about it and i've done nothing yet.:o
I did go yesterday and get a couple of light shades, thinking that it would brighten up the place abit with very little efford. I thought it would lift me abit to get more done. I can't get the light thing to unscrew even hubby had the pliers to it but it won't move.:(
Right cuppa and i'll see if i can get any of the list done.
Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -

Still no sleep here in funfair land. I did get about 2 hours last night but I'm shattered now.

Mrs C glad the twins arrived safely in the end. I'm so against induction unless it really is a last resort so many end up having a c-section.

I LOVE CLEANING WHEN IT'S SUNNY AND BRIGHT
oh I had a reall yuk moment yesterday. between my dining room and kitchen I have sliding doors that go inside the wall - I pull them out and dust them but these doors are almost always left open. Anyway on each door edge there was a grey sort of ptch - right on the edges and dusting wasn't shifting it. About a foot up from the floor. I have been pondering on what it was and how to shift it over the last few days when yesterday it flashed into my head that it's the cat! Rubbing and hence marking (scenting) the door then, I presume, on her marking oil (or whatever it it) dirt/dust is sticking... so a vigourous rub has shifted it.

Flying is very limited today with the builder/tiler here but I have hoovered behind the large wardrobe in out bedroom which has been pulled out to lift some floor boards (queen victoria has already been under the floor investigating:rotfl:)
Valli - I brought a new ironing board cover yesterday - you can imagine how gutted I was that it did not fit - I have to go and change it today. I must have a small ironing board!
