Sockdrawer I've just popped a reply in your other topic which I hope helps.
Well we got the boys 'sleeping room' sorted on Monday but yesterday was totally taken up making a friend smile. She has a very powerful car which was in being fixed and was being messed around getting it back. So we went, got it, did what it needed then took it for MOT/Taxing and the guys drove it to her work to suprise her. Bless her she's been going through a rough time at the minute and was overjoyed.
Anyway so yesterday was wiped out, apart from my shopping delivery which I got most of it put away. Today is meeting this afternoon but I've sorted 4 sacks of kids clothes into either wardrobe or to give away (I must remember to call my sister to see if she wants them) done another 3 washer loads. Cleaned the kids sheets/duvets. Couple of bin bag flings. Folded our clothes....but I must clear the floordrobe/junk to be able to put them away.
Unfortunately now got to go to a meeting that will be very busy and probably a little 'not nice' so off I pop, have a nice day everyone x x xOne day I might be more organised...........

Thanks for the stick MaybeMischief I have thrown it at the BD who is now curled up gnawing at it.
Thanks Mollina Girl, great news about your DH's blue badge.
Had some lunch, now cheering you all on in your HHC's and glowing with pride too as I have finished sewing my granny square blanket together and posted a photo on the crochet thread if anyone wants a peek.
Now off to peruse my books and see what to do next.

Shysarah, I've had a peek and your blanket is gorgeous. It looks so lovely and warm.:T:T
I never learned to crochet as a child and can't quite get the hang of it as an adult so I envy your talent.
