    AnW's mum - in my hour, I managed to clear about half the table actually. It looks so much better and as my table is quite near the sink, it currently has the washing up that I have to do on the end. So that will also go this afternoon. A few bits more that I know are for the bin will go when I take the bin bag out of the bin, so almost done! It looks so much clearer now. Thanks ever so much for the challenge! Just got to keep it clear now.

    Well done :) doesn't it feel so much better. The trick is now making sure the dot stays dotted IYKWIM!

    Well back a bit later than I expected but dinner has been done and demolished.

    So I'm just going to quickly clear all the dinner stuff away, s+s the kitchen, bring the washing in, unload the TD and then spend an hour or so in the bedroom flying and ironing whilst Miss Tag is in the bath.

    Then I might just collapse in a heap on the sofa in time for Eastenders and Holby. ;)

    Vanilla...so sorry you haven't had the results you wanted, huge hugs xx


    The cake was done when I got back....quite pleased for my first attempt(since school!!), that and the pasties were a success with everyone.

    Need to find an english school to do placement, but spoke to the head in the welsh school and he is happy for me to go into the school 1 afternoon a week to help in the class(yr1+2) and build my confidence in speaking the language to fluent people...so all good. Does mean though I need to get my act together and get into a proper routine.........
    However, kitchen cleaned affter all the cooking and dishes done and draining....TD emptied and refilled and dry clothes all folded.....
