    ***sneaks back in again***

    OOOppps seems I've fell off the wagon a bit, anyway after getting some of my life sorted :o a bit of studying caught up on (still some way to go but getting there.....) and other such poop I've got a poo tip for a house and it's getting me down so I'm back to be kicked into action to get myself in 'order' again.

    Kitchen is a good start, could do with finding the benches again

    Hope you are all well, hugs where needed and a thank you to those who wished me well with the competition....I'm also back as I need to save up for the petrol and spending pennies for the holiday in France I have won :eek::T

    Love from me x x x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Dusty you will never believe this .....I only went to Asda after tea and forgot my purse again.............:o at least it isnt too far to walk - couldnt believe it - got to the front door and went into my pocket for my list and realised the purse was on the kitchen table - my NOF had phoned as i was about to pick it up and when i put the phone down I just went out the door!!! Good luck sorting out next door's mess - what a shame about the trees.


    Triker you had better behave my girl!!! stop overdoing it - you need to learn to pace yourself honey - take care

    Would someone please give my love to LadyL and Diva? I hope they are soon back posting with us.

    I hope all the poorlies start to feel better soon.

    I am going to try to be in this week whilst at home (probably only light duties though!). DH hoovered the kitchen floor tonight so that's a head start. I want to sort through the freezer tomorrow too - how come even though it is full there's never anything we want to eat?

    Thankfully it has cooled down a bit here so should sleep a bit better (though I am sleeping better than I was). Think I will go in the spare room again then I won't be woken when dh's alarm goes off. Probably time for some toast and bed I think.

    I have made up the spare bed again and everywhere is pretty tidy which is a good start to the week. I'd like to do a bit of sorting too this week - don't want to just spend the whole week online!

    Thanks to pigpen for the lists and all the toots for helping out!

    eta: lil_me lovely to see you back hun

    toots, celtic spirituality sounds fab, are you going to Iona?

    Suppose I best sup my cuppa and go to bed seeing as it is school tomorrow.. though I'll not be able to sleep seeing as my ribs are still being bounced upon!
