    i have managed to clear out some kitchen cupboards and have done some more sorting but am getting very tired and fed up. The more things you sort out, the more mess it seems to create but it will be easier in the long run. i work in term time and feel like all i do is work when i am on school holiday. tomorrow i am going out to Dunelm Mill for a mooch with my mum.

    got a storage bench for the hall so hopefully once my 3 are back at school the clutter they create (i.e. hall obstacle course) could be stashed in the baskets.

    Last time I let DH weed, I could smell that he had "weeded" my lavender bush. I had to rifle through the compost heap to find the evidence as he denied it:rotfl:

    ladyl huge hugs.
    lol I was reading about vanilla's naughty boy weeing where he shouldnt before this and then misread this as your DH weeing in your lavender bush - oops :o

    I've decided to sell the collections of First Day Covers (mine and my Dad's), as I haven't collected them for about 20 years.

    It seems a bit brighter, so I'm off to get some fresh air for a while!
    Are they worth anything - i have some from 30 years or more ago

    Massive hugs to Lady Liberty, MSD and the lovely Toot.

    Good luck to all those with children expecting A level results tomorrow - fingers crossed for DS

    Right I'm going to have an early night ready for an early morning, once I pull my finger out and check accounts!
