    You are right, but I did put the WM on last night *and washed a pair of trousers I would like as well* :o

    Pigpen - if you don't want people to fuss just don't tell them, a technique I was taught by my mother. Your body, your decision but why scare people if you have no intention of going?

    JoJo - does the spaceballs hat explain your lack of progress? Can you even get through the doorways?

    Still working on a general declutter and the black bin will take one more bag....

    Hopefully we will get the new bathroom finished next week which means the old bathroom becomes DS2s bedroom and we can have a major clear out of stuff from the playroom.
