It took about 3 days to teach DS2 who has immense trouble with most things and at 14 has still not mastered shoelaces!

Am just taking a break to answer e-mails and have a cuppa. The kitchen looks much better - only the floor to mop and the sink to shine afterwards, and I'm done.
Will go back to it at 16:30pm...anyone joining in?

I’m in again please and thanks to everyone who organises this thread. Also thanks for cheering me up whenever I read this thread (especially Pen pen first with the elephant and now with her OH lining up spirits to introduce to friends and neighbours lol).
Welcome to all newbies:wave: you have found a thread full of wonderful, helpful and motivating people
Toots – I know you have gone but have a wonderful time at the retreat
Valli – glad the date with Mystery man went well. I am very sad :sad:and envious of your smilies as I can’t seem to insert them no matter how hard I try.
Cycling Yorkie – positive thoughts for you and yours, so sorry to hear about your OH’s uncle
Kassey – am very impressed I haven’t even started yet lol
Franby = Happy Birthday:bdaycake:
Lady Liberty – am new here but from the little I have read on here I know you and Diva are much loved and thought after so sending positive vibes to you (if that is okay – once got hand slapped for sending them to someone I didn’t ‘know’ as I was a newbie poster on a forum)
I am now off to try and start my list having read 2 pages of posts on the old thread and 8 pages on here:wave: Kate :hello:0
