    DD2 decluttered to school until Friday! FLING.. before she went I made her pile all her dirty laundry and her bedding outside her room to be washed.. just evil I am!

    bunny run shifted so they can deal with the dandelions in the garden. :D

    Purchased remaining baby bedding bits with DS2's DLA.. it works out ok as the maternity payment is going on school uniform/shoes for them all.

    Just going to have a cuppa and then have a look at the gibble on the landing see what can be shifted elsewhere so the boxes can go on the landing.. this may take some time!

    Hallway decluttered of 2 dead shredded birds.. the hallway I cleared and vacuumed yesterday of course.. grrrr...

    Did I bother doing a list?

    HI peeps

    Ive been out to the next town with DS and DD to look for curtains for living room. Couldnt find anything I like and the material I did like was £120 :eek: so came home and dropped DS and his girl-friend into town, had a mooch round and found some 1/2 price for £35 :T. Juts got to decide if they are ok or not now I have them home as in the packet they match the red 100% but out of it they are a bit brighter and cant decide if they'll work or not. DH thinks they're ok but men have no sense of colour.

    Anyway
    Natty - hugs for your friend and well done to you :A
    boddy and Anw'smum - hope you both feel better soon
    whoever's birthdays it is then 2.gif and enjoy your day

    carlsberg - I hope you get news soon

    mummyof5 - Hope its really +ve news for your brother

    toots - dont overdo it

    Right I am going to get the hoover out I have hairy stairs hallway and landing
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!
