    I've managed 8 miles of walking today (then my ipod ran out of battery, so it's recharging... I might do more later, or possibly a run). I should have done 14 on Sunday, so I'm very very behind with my training plan... I've also done a miniscule amount of work in the garden, so might head out to do a bit more as it's not currently raining...

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Mattress flung
    Under landing table cleared and vacuumed.. just needs refilling with the babys toiletries and nappies and car seat.. then I can look at the next layer of boxes in our room!
    DD1's old stereo set up in the girls room.. DD3 will LOVE it..
    Toys stacked under DD3's bed and 2 more binbags of rubbish filled and chucked in the wheelie.
    DS3's old CoD's chucked outside

    AND........... my house is STILL full of crap!

    Frodders.. I'll join you.. I have the landing down to the boys room to vacuum and will no doubt be able to find plenty more to do!

    OH dangled DD1's old flokati rug on the line to blow the bits out of it then I'll put it down in the girls room if it isn't too rancid!
