I need to sort through my clothes too.. I have a heap that won't fit in the cupboard.. the maternity stuff is all packed away for when we have Freja's little brother (:p) and there is loads which is wrecked from me wearing it while pregnant and decorating.. painty vest tops do NOT need to be kept.. there was a woman picking up her boy from school today and she looked like she had used herself as a paintbrush.. how do people end up covered while painting? I cannot understand it.. I get more on me walking around after painting when I have forgotten the paint is wet than I do while actually painting.
I wear the same stuff constantly too.. and I am DESPERATE for a couple of new bras which I shall be ordering tomorrow

Another long day at work but got quite a bit of leiu tme which I'm taking tomorrow.
Hubby presented with a huge cake, vouchers and various bottles of stuff as he has left the employ of his old employer from the past 26 plus years. They also gave me a huge bouquet of flowers which was a lovely surprise.
I had my hair cut and styled....I'm SCRUFFY usually so a 'style' is unusual.....guess who hasn't noticed....!!!!!!.
Anyway, done nothing other than declutter many miles on the road, a curry and some champagne.

:hello: Good morning :hello: Raining here, so no running again
My decluttering is coming along well, but we still can't find the "spare" camera memory card :mad: The children's weekend camping trip is off :j:j:j They weren't exactly keen, and I really wasn't keen to be on my very own for 24 hours
We'll make pizza for tea, light a fire, and watch a DVD. I'll then slope off and watch some Strictly on i-player by myself (the rest of my family find it amusing to be dispariging of the dancers and outfits, so I don;t let them watch any more
)

Morning
We went up to Miss A's BIG BIG school for a look around last night. She was scared when we arrived due to sheer size of the place but by the time we had finished she was asking if she could start there now and not have to wait until next SeptSaw one of my old teachers there!! One of two who are still there.
Kids have a day off today as it is an inset day, they have another just before half term as well. That brings the total so far up to 4 this term :mad::mad: Thank goodness for Mum and Dad being able to help me. Managed to get the day off work for the other one (which was touch and go)
Anyway enough of me, hope you all have a good Friday.Official Mascot and Chief Cheerleader for the 'Mortgage Free in Three' Gang0 -
Morning ladies,
i have been up for ages, but haven't really got my butt in gear yet. Been faffing about mostly which I'm very good at!
Off to get dressed and make a start on the wardrobe situation. I'm aiming for a few bin bags full of tatty clothes and hopefully some items that I can ebay.
Will report back later. Have a good day everyone

Good morning
Pretty tired today as we sat up watching Moulin Rouge on CD with DS1 and ended up having a sing song afterwards! Great fun though.
Really really not sure which room to do today. I've got three choices-all of which are very overwhelming. DD2 and DS2's room (they share just now) This is a complete tip. I had my eldest down from Uni and she left it like a pigsty. This is the room that will become DD2's bedroom once we've sorted out my second choice room. This is a smaller room but it's full to the gunnels with stuff that's either been dumped there or "stored carefully away" by MIL. This room will eventually become DS2's room so he and his sister can have separate rooms. The other option is the utility room which similarly has had piles of things dumped/stored in it. I *want* to sort out the bedrooms, but I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by it all. Going to have to have a cup of tea and make a decision. At least DH has committed to helping me clean out the close area on Saturday!
