Ugh Ugh Ugh! The disgusting greasy hairy cupboard tops!!! Shudder!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.0 -
Morning all and it's lovely and sunny and warm. Lots of washing out on the line
I've done the kitchen/diner and also the living room and hallway (includes computer desk) and stairs. I'm still off work this week and I'd like a couple of days with just basic housework so I've doubled up today.
My Christmas cake is in the oven and it smells lovely. I'm like the Bisto kid here!
Not caught up yet so I hope everyone's OK especially Toots and LL. Well done to wilf's DS. Hope you're having a nice "week off" lonewolf0 -
Bit late, but off I go for another stint on the kitchen.... Should finish quite easily in 30mins, then out for a spot in the garden, methinks...
