    Livingroom looking loads better now but i managed to break the flipping hoover, it will have to do for a while yet. :mad:

    Dusty she was fine going to school, mind you i seen the madam who done it on the way up to the school, i swear i was ready to pull over. I'm hoping the playground assistant has said to the teacher but who knows. DD is being really good and just letting it go over her head and i'm still keeping a record so i'll bring that with me on tuesday when i'm in about her progress.

    Right cuppa and i'll crack on with the bedroom. :D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Happy Birthday PenPen and Willow - hope you both have a lovely day with minimul flying.

    I found my engagement ring this morning, it was in my box of filing :D Whilst looking for it I managed to declutter the floordrobe and clean under the bed. its all sorted into a junk box for oh to deal wiht when he is home as its his junk.

    got a loaf of bread rising to be popped into the oven in about 10 mins so will be lovely when its done. im trying to save money on buying bread as i can go through 2 - 3 loaves a week so thats 1 bag of flour a week rather than £4 on bread.

    going to go and do some ironing will get 10 items ironed and put away then shower dressed, brunch and work and possibly some flying as well.
