Been out and about this morning, hubby needed a new jumper so that has now been got. We did run into a couple of friends that we haven't seen for a while so had a chit chat with them for a while.

Rhys is now fast asleep and i'm gonna grab a cuppa before i start the bathroom.

Penpen sorry to hear that. (((big hugs)))

PenPen lovely to see you posting, but so sorry it's such awful news. (((HUGS)))

In the meantime, I'd better go and scrub the loo, I suppose; give me time to compose something apposite.:D

I bit my tongue so many times I am surprised it is still attached!!!!!!!!!!

Next time we go it will be for his sisters wedding.. what shall I wear??? :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I have nothing suitable that fits!!!!!!!!!

piggers sorry but I dont know anything about B/Fing so dont know whats suitable but..... what about some of the pretty summery tops that are on the go with buttons down the front and ties at the back so that you could adjust it as you lose weight? with a nice pair of comfy trousers or dressy jeans - even something totally impracticle like white - they wash!!!!! There are some good sales on - i was in M&S this am and they had a lot of bright things/loose/comfy. And i sure you have some lovely shoes that you team up with it. If that doesnt appeal then look at your most favourite possible thing in the wardrobe and build from there - or could you borrow something from your sister?
naughty (((hugs)) hope you feel a bit more comfortable and brighter today - not long honey and think of the joy that athletic bundle is going to give you.
pooh good luck with the valuation
MOJ2 glad you are getting out a bit more - well done to BF for getting all the remaining bits done.

We've had visitors this weekend and although not perfect, our home looked much better than at the beginning of the holidays. Their home is always spotless and any room could be photographed for a colour supplement at any time!!! Mine is nowhere near that level - but the CHAOS feelings are subsiding - shows what can be done in 4 or 5 weeks:)
Need to keep on decluttering and try to maintain level 1. Hoping to finish decluttering and then climb up through the levels slowly.
Cheers all

marchio your house maynot be showhouse but i bet its still warm and inviting and comfy - do you really want a showhouse - I bet its just as hard work to keep - try not to compare your house with others that you think are better - make your house the way it suits you and your family - its lovely to see that CHAOS is slowly being booted out the door - its a great feeling when you dont go into panic mode when visitirs are coming - well done to you:T
PenPen nice to see you posting - we were all worrying about you - so sorry to hear your sad news for you and your family but especially for your friend's family - I you will all come to terms with it in time - you are right of course - sometimes we need to remember what is important in our lives and love it, enjoy it and make the most of each day.

I keep forgetting to say 'Good Luck' to all those returning to work and school just now - lots of little ones around the country going for the first time - poor mummies missing them....or not:rotfl: hope it all settles down well for you.


it is now lovely and sunny and I think I will have a little while in the garden before I change to go out for the BBQ later.
