    Katsu did the chicken update Linda - never fear - we've got it all covered :D

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    DH at the pub, kids in bed...I am watching tv eating a lemon.


    Katsu-bloody well done.

    Butti-brave lady

    Claire-welcome back!

    Sam-I love babies-I would love another one if I didnt have to be pregnant and it was born 2 months old...

    Bathroom is going to look fantastic when you get those last tiles in claire - you can see how good it looks already.

    Shall I go to the supermarket now? It will be a lot busier tomorrow and I need to look for some stuff for Mum.

    Hi Linda,

    I've just been rounding up all my parents' stuff in my house (someone ban my Mum from ebay ;)). I've also got things I picked up for them, plus the TV that is still infront of my front door (I will find a home for that in the next two weeks - somewhere!).

    I have so much housework to do but, naturally, having finshed studying (for now - fingers crossed) my desire to do housework has declined :D:D


    Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me my DD.........who was it got me into MSE in the first place????? Who is it who is sitting on my shoulder, as it were, every flamin' time I buy anything these days, thus forcing me to go searching for less expensive options??????? Never mind, I should be in hospital in the next few weeks so then you can have a decluttering trip down to dump it all on your dad lolol (This is the price you have to pay for shredding my old spendthrift habits........;):rotfl::rotfl:)
