    Dipped in here a few years ago probably. Think that I will have to start on level one today, as ill health stopping me somewhat.
    Kitchen/Dining room. Ha, now the dining room is DS's bedroom, so apart from finding the table underneath everything, as its been the hotspot for a while, the rest can be his job! he he.
    One way of getting me started easily.!
    When I die I will know that I have lived, loved, mattered and made a difference, even if in a small way.

    Morning all

    Well I have several lists on the go and am already starting to wonder how I will fit it all in without running round like a loony chicken!

    Toots hope all goes well this week, as ever I will be thinking of you. Also hugs for LL hope your week is a good one.

    Already there has been one change to arrangements already, BIL is helping get the van out and worked OT last night so can't get the van out until lunch time. I need to make sure he is up by 1pm to help or we could run out of time before the school run :eek: Potential stress levels already rising as his time keeping can be erratic to say the least!

    Will do as much as I can before then, including parcelling up ebay sales

  • Hello!

    I used to do this years ago, and it worked - but then fell off the wagon. If I promise to bring biscuits, may I come back and play again, please?
