Need to pop into town today to pop some money in the bank, tidy some bags to the tip and much out the car, then I'm looking forward to getting friendly with some chaos in the kitchen :rotfl:

Diva~~ sorry to hear you have been so ill, take care and get plenty of rest.

It is so cold here, put all plants back inside the greenhouse last night, so glad I did as we had a frost here and that would have killed off my toms/ marrows/ corgettes/ etc

Morning everyone.:hello:
I'm back in again this week as much as i can be. Thanks to the usual for the lists.:D
Tiler is due to come today but he didn't ring over the weekend so i don't think he will. As long as the bathroom is done this week i don't care.
It's very wet and miserable here today so it will be all indoor jobs. Plan is get the list done as soon as i come back from school run, then empty bathroom window sil, finally sort bathroom ceiling. If i get that done i'll be happy enough and if i get more done i'll be chuffed.:rotfl:

Diva lovely to see you back. xx

morning ladies

I'm in again this week - lapsed a bit towards the end of last week so it'll be good to get going again. Glad it's the kitchen today, and pleased to see the 'try to cook something new' one - I've decided to try gluten free for a month, and need some help!!! :eek:

Hope everyone is ok

" Alright girls?"

okay I know, I know, I haven't been here for ages... and just going to use the list for a bit of a catch up but I'm not aiming for level 3's tbh!
House doesn't look TOO bad, just need to get back in habit of doing SOME each day rather than blitzing a room when it becomes horrendous!!!!
