    morning all

    I'm off work today and tomorrow so might join back in a bit! I gave the bathroom a quick S&S last night and everywhere looks ok though needs a hoover. i'm very tired after 3 days at work and am in need of some good rest!

    Today I'm out with friends, one is probably coming back here later so I will make sure it's presentable before I leave. The bed also needs changing but will prob do that tomorrow when dh is here to help me flip the mattress.

    love to all xx

    Morning everyone :wave:

    Haven't flown for a while, what with half term then a lovely relaxing holiday last week, but I'm starting again today with the living room.

    Hope everything is well with you all. I've only skimmed the last few pages, so apologies if I've missed anything.

    Natty - Happy anniversary :beer:
    LadyL - I'm not sure what to say as everyone else has said so many lovely things to you. You are a true inspiration and a wonderful lady. Have an amazing time at glasto and here's to the weather being fab (heard a rumour that Brandon might be 'popping in' ;)). Lots of love and hugs xxxxxxxxxxxx


    Right, off to the living room I go..............
    I need direction to perfection...

  • Morning All!

    Am very behind and haven't updated my lists... :cool:

    Have told DN's that I am on strike as of this morning as they are doing not a lot at all to help round the house- so I wonder whether the dishwasher will still require unloading when I get in from work? They are both at home all day at the moment and when I get in they tend to be exactly where I left them slumped on the sofas :mad: They are turning into cats!!!

    Sorry- rant over!

    So whilst on strike I did S&S the bathroom and bleached the toilet and S&S the worktops before work! Am fool to self....!

    Have a great day everyone!
