    Boddy - continuing to send you lots of hugs and love xxxxx
    Kazwookie – sounds like it’s going to be one big hamster fest! Have you sourced that lego hamster yet?
    Mooloo – good luck with your impending move.
    Sockdrawer – I hope you find you can get the bed supplied for you. I’m sure that would be a massive weight off your niece’s family’s minds – it’s a lot of money for something that she has to have through no fault of her own xx
    Toots – didn’t you know that Kazwookie is buying a lego hamster!!!! Hope you’re well xxx
    Mumto5 – hope your daughter smells the coffee soon! I’m not looking forward to the ‘boyfriend/girlfriend’ stage!
    Shysarah – hope the pain is a little less today (well, a lot less actually!)
    Doozergirl – welcome to the thread (don’t think I said that earlier but I’m being a bit scatty of late!). Your post sums it up – people on here are there for the good things, the bad things, the happy things, the sad things and, most importantly, for when we achieve the small things (or not so small) like tackle that ironing pile…complete a list etc. Hope you have fun here!

    To everyone else :wave: hellllloooooooooooooooo!

    So far I've decluttered dogs, had a five minute clean up in the bedroom and sorted out a gift voucher in response to an email - can't believe how many gift vouchers i'm selling at the moment! Now I'm going to find today's list. I've got DS off poorly again and have to stay in waiting for tesco wine delivery (£154 of wine for 94p!!!) so will keep busy today.

    Well in the HHC I hoovered the whole of the downstairs, put one load of washing away, put another load of washing in the WM, and put the dirty crockery in the DW. Not much I know, but it's a start.

  • In my HHC I managed to:

    S & S living room
    Turned and fluffed up cushions
    Hoovered living room, hallway and dining room
    Unloaded DW and then:eek::eek::eek::eek: when I went to put the porridge pan away under the sink :eek::eek::eek::eek: I saw mouse droppings!!!!!!!!!!!!! (and a half eaten brillo pad)
    OMG I hate mice and spiders with a passion!!!!!!!!!!!!:eek::eek::eek::eek:
    So then I had to gingerly empty all the cupboard, load up the DW with all the pans, wash out the cupboard and put some pellets down on little trays. (They are coming in via the hole for the water pipes I think.)

    So now I think I need a cuppa to calm down a bit.
