    Morning all :wave:

    Feeling all bright and breezy this morning, went out for a lovely family meal last night, slept well and feel really refreshed today.

    Had a gorgeous fabric sample arrive this morning so about to measure up to see how much I need to make new curtains and cushions for the living/dining room.

    DH has man-flu so is grumping about going back to bed...trouble is the cat beat him too it and is laying, starfish style across the middle of the bed. :D

    Morning All

    Have just put up a voile curtain that has LED lights incorporated in it - looks lovely especially at night time. We had one before and have been looking everywhere for a replacement and finally found one.

    My daughter and I were discussing moving yesterday and were looking on the internet for ground floor flats (as she can no longer manage stairs easily) and have found one we really like - eek. I would love to move but the logistics and the money it takes is a really scary thought. It is more rent but would be doable but would mean tightening our belts (yet again!). We are going to view it on Monday!

  • Morning everyone~! Or, almost afternoon.

    Spent some time with an autistic girl I care for this morning. We went to playzone, so I'm thoroughly shattered. =D It was good fun though, she's giggling more and communicating with us, so it's exciting to see her make those baby steps~!

    Doomy, a night out... I think we're supposed to be having one of those tonight for a friend's party. I'll be on the water. xD; Cheap and Calorie-free!

    Reya~! Hi! Welcome. I think... I might just make myself a cup of coffee before I go into town to do choresy things. ^^;

    SUZY - Get that house cleaned! =P

    Pooky - Hiii, that's so creative of you. I'm still trying to get my head round this 'make do and mend' and 'craft' stuff - what is that?! Lol.

    Tenmah - Moving's always such a big step, but if it makes life easier, then it's always worth it, isn't it?! ^^;

    Off into town now, armed with a cheque to deposit from my carer job, and a gift voucher for Waterstones/HMV. =D Where will it be?!

    Yeah you are right Ollie. Apart from no stairs, it has a garden and parking and gas central heating - which are the main criterias I want. The only thing it won't have is extra storage (like a loft) and we do have a lot of stuff that we currently store up there. I would get rid of it all as I am not into keeping things, apart from Christmas decorations, but my daughter won't get rid of anything!
