    yeah! managed to get my kitchen list done. Cleaned my micro/combi it was disgusting and my griddle which wasn't too bad but is all sparkly now. Dinner decluttered, got DS1 to clear up livingroom:T, dog fed and dishes in the sink. Thanks for all the comments about Piper. Kaz she is even bigger now that pic was a year ago! :eek: She is getting bigger and older I'm just staying the same:rotfl::rotfl:Little madam is just telling me to fill out her school trip form, feel like shouting I'm the mum:rotfl:With the school closing they are using up all the funds so this trip is costing me £3.25 rather than £9.75:T

    Had a text from Lady-L she's feeling a bit better today.


    Off to lay like broccoli. See you all in the morning.

    My room is once again full of random and miscellaneous crap.. so DD2 can have her room back.. but I have half filled a wheelie bin.. and got another box for charity shop.. and OH has a box still to sort through.

    I need to buy a tool box.. I have a stack of chisels and screwdrivers and all sorts just thrown in a box with other stuff.. must sort it! I have 3 binbags of clothes to sort through as well.. 3 of them are mine which simply doesn't fit at the moment.. and I have nowhere to put it!

    I am so very tired.. and I am miserable.. I hate being miserable it just pee's me off..

    I'll do the list for tomorrow now and I will take my knitting to bed..

    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.

    Evening all

    I have been dot2dotting in our room and whilst the floor is starting to reappear the bed is disappearing :rotfl::rotfl: anyway progress has been made.

    Miss A helped make lasagne for dinner and they have both been in the bath/shower so are nice and sparkly :D

    Kitchen is shipshape and DW is just finishing off now. I even gave the oven a good going over :eek: it is almost like a new pin. The main bits to tackle now are the shelf supports which are moulded and non removable so not quite to easy to do. But little and often is the way, a couple more dots joined ;)

    Might not get on tomorrow as it's the work thing and then tomorrow night we are off to see Annie :)

    I spoke to toots earlier this afternoon, we put the world to rights :D she is pacing herself so those spoons are used evenly.

    thanks Hex2 & toochoosey.. we are pleased with it, I'm about half way through planting all the plants - they all look really little though, mostly grown from seeds or cuttings.

    time to go declutter some hair dye!
