    Lovely and sunny here today.

    00020334.gif Pigpen, Toots and Soappie for all your hard work.

    Had quite a good day yesterday managed to hang out a washing and do a major fly in the garden :T:T but came in to get another load of washing to hang out and discovered that my WM has packed in, I think the bearing may be away:mad:. OH says we should get a new one.

    We have new neighbours moved in next door there are 3 kids 1 boy same age as DS2 and 2 girls 4&6. So DD was out the back playing all day yesterday with the girls. It's nice (so far) to have other kids in the building there are hardly any on this street for mine to have someone to play with.


    Right I'm off to find a list need to get some stars this week although that big declutter has helped.

    Love and hugs to all.

    Good Morning everyone! Well I'm back in, even if I don't manage too much I know you're all there busy-beeing away and that does get me shifting a bit! Not too bad a start today as my kitchen is pretty good and the washing is waiting to be hung out - bit cold though! I'll likely end up with frozen fingers before the last peg is in place!
    Resolution:
    Think twice before spending anything!

    Sarah you are more than welcome on the declutter thread. If you can afford it book the company to pack for you (don't worry about the unpacking no time limit on that) - best money we ever spent

    We have moved 3 times - each time when I packed a box I gave it a number, wrote on outside which room it was going to and a brief description of what was inside - eg kitchen/china. As I packed a box I noted in a note book what what in the box so when I needed something fairly urgently I knew where to look. Also if boxes didn't need emptying straight away they could then be stored but contents were know in the future! all the best with the move.

    Morning all. I'm in, thanks to pigpen toots and soappie.

    Off work with the dodgy back, hate being off, always feel so guilty. Takes a lot to stand up without crying though, so figured I'd better.

    Off for a soak in the bath in a minute, see if that helps.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    Hi All :wave:

    I am in this week as well, thanks to the three superstars Pigpen, Toots & Soappie as always.

    I never got my last 2 stars last week as it was my DS 3rd birthday on Saturday so was busy organising his birthday tea and as it was such a nice weekend, we decided to go out and blow the cobwebs away on Sunday. Off for a wee catch up now, see you in a bit x
