    Hello :wave:
    Can I join please? I have been lurking/secretly spying over the past couple of weeks and my house is so much cleaner so thank you!

    I am now making myself public. This week is half term so I'm not sure if I'll get more or less done. I suspect less so as long as I do Level 1s I'll be happy.

    Toots.. I just keep thinking of 1001 other things that must be done. At the moment I think anything related to winter and christmas preparation has to take precedence, but in order to do that i have to go through every room and find lots of cash to make things nice.. stuff like curtain linings etc I already have the fabric and knowledge but lack the time.. I am seriously considering going back to sewing class after christmas and getting some stuff done. I never make time when I am at home and I should really.

    Off to do some mind numbing knitting and watch some rubbish I think.
