    I should be getting changed to go to the gym for a run. But I'm suffering from CBA... possibly because I've been cold all day (should have worn more layers :o)

    Hi everyone :wave:

    Thanks for all the welcomes! :xmastree:Looking forward to getting my CHAOS under control!

    I am raring to go but firstly have to nip over to the launderette with some sheets and towels before it shuts. :D That can be my first "extra"!

    Aiming for levels 1 and 2 and 3 all this week (I have seriously nothing else planned and this place needs it!) even though I have zero clue what's in store!!! (May need to have a sneaky peek on last week's thread...)

    Catch up soon everyone!

    Toots i wish they would just sort it out. We were told we'd have it before easter but the supplier didn't have any in. Then the shop we bought it from said they get delievery on a monday and it would be here today, in fairness she rang the suppier on friday and they said it would be with them that day. Turns out the suppier got alot of wrong items and missing the bath. Suppiers are in scotland and it's the only corner bath that will fit.:(
    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.

    Well, haven't got much more done on the lists but DD and I went out fro a walk in the woods and picked some daffodils from the pick you own field - lovely if a little cold. Children are all back home, fed, homework finished and will soon be on the way to bed/winding down.

    I'll just get HHI done, clear the kitchen and put on the DW and then that's me done for the day.
    Trying to keep in budget.

    s'not my fault you do stuff backwards:p

    the spam post (was 183) has now been deleted so, for some reason, the quote now appears to have come from a Juliejim post *shrug*.
    I have deleted my warning from post 182...

    I do everything backwards... and I only read the thread backwards when I have posted first.
