    Hi ladies. Do you mind if I borrow some of your lists for my housekeeper ?
    Flames in the Garden of Eden
    Heaven in pieces at my feet
    I faced the raging ruins
    Of a million sleepless nights
    I need to rest my weary head
    On your resurrection bed.

    I'm in :D

    It all depends on the weather as to how much gets done in the house.. ;) lots of stuff needs doing in the garden too!

    One more day at school.. so I reckon DD can help with the lists too. Her room definitely needs a thorough going over. She told DH last night that she needs everything to be out of the cupboards.. so that she knew where it was. :D:D

    Old dog still with us, still having good eating days and bad eating days. So far she's never refused scrambled eggs ;) She had a bad turn yesterday, but seems ok today. One day at a time I guess.

    No flying from the list so far today, but did make a start on the rather large ironing pile. More to do later!

    You're supposed to save spoons for Mr LW, he's more important than the lists...

    You're as bad as toots sometimes :p:p
