    Morning all,

    V proud of myself this morning - soup in the slow cooker already, used up wrinkly peppers instead of letting them go manky. Put some potential clutter away instead of leaving it lying around. Have to go to work now, but will be flying later. Have a great day everyone!

    Morning,
    had a good sleep last night slept better than I have for a long time and have woken up feeling refreshed and ready to take on the world. Its the last day of term today for the kids so I plan to do as much as I can before chaos starts for 7 weeks :eek:

    It was lovely going into a clean kitchen and not having to rummage through the dishes in the sink to find a mug.

    Today on my hit list is to carry on with the washing. The lounge shouldnt take me that long as it is already quite tidy (only afew bits of paperwork on the table) so I may take on the ironing!!! (wish me luck)

    Have a good day everyone

    Morning all :)

    I've woken with a stinking cold and feeling like I've been smacked across the back of the neck with a baseball bat. *sigh* Still, parrots consumed, and school run shortly. I'm going to crack on regardless, and see what I can get done. :)

    Morning, not at my place at the moment. But I will be back after lunch, so it will have to be a bit of a Binbag smooch, rather then fling! Body wont take it yet!
    Giving me enthusiasm about doing some housework, is a bit of a miracle. Lets hope that while I am out DS is not destroying the place!.
    Tuttifruitti, thanks for the welcome. X
