    My house is a TIP, can't hardly walk around the bed in our room, kitchen is not bad but oven is minging and the rest of the house is, um, well not so good really :o. My excuse is I've been setting myself up doing mystery shopping, so been really busy doing applications etc.

    That sounds just like me - only for bed/bedroom substitute table/dining room, and the kitchen isn't good, apart from the oven. I haven't even got an excuse, other than work.

    The weekend didn't get off to a great start here. After an ok day it's been drizzling ever since I left work and the clutch on our car gave up the ghost outside the garage, just as the mechanic came back from a spin to check if it was ok. That's a 'no', then, I guess. :mad: If we are lucky, it's 'just' the clutch that needs doing :eek:, but they won't know until Tuesday at the earliest and I can see us not getting it back until next weekend. Could have picked a better month for it, as both DSs birthdays are in May. May need to rob a bank...
    Another cuppa and a snack, and maybe a short nap, then I may as well fly - can't go out to get bags of compost and it's miserable outside.
    Sorry for being grumpy. Should be fine after a coffee and a nap. x

    ETA Thanks, greenbee, have just realised what will cheer me up - baking!!! Once I've cleared some space in the kitchen.

    Me to, and Mrs Chaos has to drive past my house to get to you......

    Work again today :( so nothing much done yet. The house really is suffering, mostly because I won't let the boys suffer for the change and ignore them to do it. I have spent most of this evening trying to sort out a very full ipod for DS1

    I still haven't hoovered :o. I read Foxbusters to the boys instead last night, ate takeaway and went to bed with a Georgette Heyer. I still have a mild headache from hitting my head on the beam on Sunday!

    I have, on the positive side, roasted a chicken for dinner tonight and put the veg box away.

    serena :jfor the rain, we have some too so I only had to water the greenhouse - from the now nearly full waterbutt.

    I hope everyone is well, hugs for the poorlies and hello to the newbies/returners.
