    Anniversary wishes for the Cyclingyorkies and the Dustykittens, and birthday wishes for Valli. Yes, I know I'm late, but hey, better late than never, yes?:D

    Crafty (((HUG))) I'm thinking you could use one.

    Still feel like total carp, and the muck I'm decluttering from my lungs doesn't bear thinking about.:( Should've been attending a CAMRA branch meeting tonight, but I'm sending Mr LW on his own, cos I really don't feel well enough for 2 hours in a freezing cold pub back room (well, outbuilding really). We need to go, as we need to pick up our copy of the new Good Beer Guide, but it doesn't take 2 of us to do that.;)

    Must get on now, and get dins on the go - pasta in cheese sauce, cos I can do that on autopilot!:D

    Have a good evening, folks.:o
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Just bought a truly huge wardrobe to fast track the bedroom sorting.:j DH and I have a lot of the type of clothes you wear once or twice a year-ie his kilt, bits and pieces for various sports etc etc. Just now they're all hanging up in the children's wardrobe and we're living out of a tiny tiny 1930's wardrobe which is hugely inaccessible and not deep enough for the size of hangers you get today, we also have clothes in the bedroom all over chairs, on drawers you get the picture. I'm so happy. I totally fell in love with it. Now we just have to get it up the stairs when it's delivered!:eek:

    Saving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.
    Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.
  • Will wipe table and sort bins in a while, I have a baby koala atm, then kitchen list done for today. Will do windows and floor on a day when I'm not quite so busy. Got a lot done tody, quite happy :) Although very pee'd off at a friend of ours who wont lend OH his car for an hour to pick up ds1's b'day pressie from @rgos despite him borrowing OH's work van (which has broken down) several times for trips to the tip. So if I want to take advantage of the 3 for 2 I'll have to struggle with 2 kids on the bus on my own, which I can just about cope with, it's just fitting it in around everything I need to do this week...

    Will tidy conservatory and sweep up the feathers once kids are in bed too then if OH is late I might do a HHE - but then again I might not :p
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy
