    DD's room was done yesterday and I have been doing 5/10 mins in the spare room every day.

    Off on school trip today and out this evening so not sure I will get back on today so have a good Friday all and I will see you tomorrow xx

    morning!

    Well we had a nice day out yesterday night, went off to codbeck with a picnic and acted like bears in the wood. Swainby was gorgous two and em ended up buying a dozen free range duck eggs for £2. Told OH at the last sec that the parcels hadn't arrived. His response, he gave me a hug, and said i thought it was that:o. He had the day off in the end as his boss was doing a course so drove to a little village, walked in the wet, had coffee and generally chilled out. He said he enjoyed himself.
    Thanks for the birthday wishes peeps :)

    Going to town today so put cheques in the bank and return books to the library. No doubt they will be a fine waiting for me, but not that fussed really.

    Hey.... IT'S FRIDAY!!!!
    A cheery Good Morning from the Stepford Wolf:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Took him a chocolate orange and a nice card, as it was our 49th anniversary today!!!!
    Wow! Congratulations..... 49 years, that's fantastic!

    And a Happy Belated Birthday to Nannyboo while I remember to say it, too.

    Gods know how I'm going to do today's list.... I can barely move in the [STRIKE]junk[/STRIKE] spare room.
    The furniture in there comprises 3 bookcases, 1 video/DVD cabinet, 1 writing desk, 1 CoD, 1 wardrobe and a large wooden trunk. No problem there....
    There's also, however, 1 crate containing all the membership stuff for an organisation I belong to, 1 crate of candlemaking gear, 1 crate of Dungeons & Dragons gear, including painting materials for doing the figures, a cool-box, a steam cleaner, the Dyson and the little hand-held vacuum, which live in there when not in use.... still no problem....
    Add to that 2 crates full of HM jam, 1 crate of spare cleaning materials because there was a special offer on and I got them at 30% off, and a large carrier bag of baking supplies that won't fit in the kitchen.... getting a bit crowded now....
    The crowning glory: 2 large suitcases and a cardboard box for food supplies for our 1st ever self-catering holiday.:D

    Well, I shall just have to do what I can manage, and if Piggers chucks a mule at me, then so be it!:D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
