x_raphael_xx thats an amazing tattoo, i've never seen one like that. That looks like a lot of hours of inking! My favourite one on my mate is a lip imprint that was his (now ex!!) girlfriends lipstick mark from where she blotted her lipstick! Hes a tatooist and doesn't have much room left!!

Thanks It didn't take too long, about an hour & half with that and another small one. I have 13 now, including a huge back piece. I love them got loads more planned.

Spent hours last night scanning in my mums old photos, all 474! I managed to sneak them off her boat last time I was there, they're all loose or in separate albums, so I'm going to put them all into one big album for a xmas present. There are a lot of picture of me and my bro when we were kids so doing a CD of photos for my dad too.
Now I just have to find an album that will fit 500 photos!!! :eek:

I've deleted everything off the lists that I've done, but it's still huge!! Going to spread it over the whole weekend, need to fit work in too

Nice idea with the photos Raphael I did something similar for my Dad when he turned 60 making a scrapbook of pictures up from his childhood to present day. Must get it back in a few years and do 65th update.

Anyways HHC done,..

Started with the most dreaded job and worked from there. I have done;

Taken bedding off and put into WM
Picked all the fluff and bits of memory foam off bed that cat has now taken to clawing (cursed at cat too)
Put new bed linen on (Matching!!)
Did a wiggle to KOLeon
Dusted and de-webbed bedroom
Put all magazines from floor into neat pile on bedside cabinet
Unpacked all Lu$h goodies into drawers to scent clothes until used
Collected all spare coat hangers out of wardrobe and put in with ironing basket
Picked up random clothes off floor of bedroom and wardrobe
Polished all door handles and light switches (door handles were grim!!)

Now going to de-clutter coffee, play on twitter and sing along to radio for a bit
Think my motivation and energy was in my bed as feeling brighter now..

Have had a good crack at upstairs, DS's room clean and tidy, laundry away and both bedrooms and landing hoovered. WM and TD on too. Meant to take a damp cloth up to wipe everything with but forgot so will do that quickly now before I fetch him from school and see how many pairs of trousers he's gone through...

DOOZER had to laugh...seriously i reckon girls are worse! My DD room is normally the same!!

Well house is almost sparkling and shiny. Haven't stuck to the lists as just doing what needs to be done as still not feeling 100%! Pulled one of my 'to do' pieces of paper and it said' sort DS party'. Easy peasy...he wants Thomas and we have 5 friends coming. Looked on ebay at plates etc so happy days all sorted! Will cheat and buy Thomas cake from Mr S as well!! We're off to a party at 12.30 and just realised haven't wrapped presents and have no boys wrapping paper! Will nip to the shop in a minute but just waiting for the postie who I can see up the street! He better have DS pirate stuff for above party else i'm in trouble!! So unorganised! Going to have a really chilled weekend and try and get myself back to normal. KH got kids so i will be sleeping in!

OMG! I've got tickets for Take That in Amsterdam!
