    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

  • HELP!!!!! Ive started wiping down the dirty marks on the wall BUT the more I wipe the more paint im removing!!! EEEKKKK

    Don't panic! What are you using to wash with? Maybe its too abrasive? Just plain painted walls, or the skirting boards or? More info and we'll see if we can help,

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Kids now all feed, kitchen floor brushed, bins emptied, DW on, paperwork but in front hall (to be sorted another day), Rhys now up and eating and hopefully back to bed for him as well as the rest.:D

    Kitchen is looking great, best it's looked in weeks. Floor still needs moped so i'll get that done now and i'll get the hot water on.

    Done faff all in the kitchen tonight. I went down to my sister's after work to practise pitching our new tent. Heavens opened just as we finished putting it up. So we spent ages trying to dry it off before packing it away again :o.

    I have also wrapped 18 books for the class I work with. 6 to go. I have been with the same class through years 1 to 3, but am being moved to year 6 in September :eek:.

    Had a shower, made pack ups and hey presto it was a quarter to nine.

    I still need to wrap gifts for my two work colleagues and the twins' teacher, TA and head. I have a stash of body shop stuff, Lush stuff and some Sainsburys TU beads and necklaces. So it is just deciding who to give what.
