    I've decided to join in this week if that's ok. I'm starting with level 1, and next week will tackle level 2 and so on. The idea being flying becomes a habit, baby steps and all that :).

    Thanks to Pig Pen (Congratulations! I love the piccy of baby Squeak) and the others who organise this thread - here's to my home being more organised :T.

    It's only a game

    LW Hope you are enjoying having your little visitor how long do you have her for?
    Thanks, mlb, she's a super little dog, and no trouble at all. She's here til Tuesday 17th August.:o

    Some of today's list is already done (thanks to Mr LW over the weekend;)) and as he's w*rking from home today, he's offered to help with the mammoth task of dragon-dusting as soon as we've eaten our dins.:A One of these days I'll have to count all the dragons I have here - or maybe not, it might be too :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: to know the answer!:rotfl:
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Morning all


    THanks to all for the thread.

    Pigpen. Congratualtions to you all.


    WellLast week didn't quite go to plan.

    Ds and DD are now spending a week with the dad and know about his GF dying and are ok with it (well as ok as they can be)

    Still have my niece but she goes home tonight so I will have the house to myself:D


    Went to Hastings on Saturday with BF and my niece. It was lovely and the weather held out for us. Rain all the way, then brilliant sunshine, then rained on the ay home.


    Glad it is the living room today as really want to give a good clean behind the settee, and maybe get rid of some of the children's toys. Need to get some washing done and want to make sure that I do the ironing either today/tomorrow a want to keep on top of it. much easier than having to spend all evening doing it.
