    uropa beautiful!

    Not too much achieved here so far, been at work on a buying trip to a warehouse selling lots of Christmas stuff. Usually would have loved it, but felt rubbish all day, don't think the antibiotics have kicked in yet. Will do HHC as soon as DD in bed at 7 - so HHC at 7.15 anyone?

    and then I'm collapsing in a heap with a glass of wine and a curry that I cooked last night. Bed early for sure.

    Hope everyone else is ok? Hugs & spoons to LL, Diva, toots & LW.. and anyone else that needs them.

    Thanks very much for all the good luck vibes for DH yesterday - he says the interview went pretty well, but they said that they'd let him know within a week. I think they've got one more person to interview. I've got everything crossed..

    Some have to be completed by March next year but the rest are to do whenever the fancy takes me :D
    I hope you are feeling better soon and that the antibiotics kick in very soon. Hugs!

    Can I ask some advice, please, I am looking for something to put on my dressing table to try and organise the stuff I use on a regular basis. These shelves cost £22.50 with delivery. Thay are slightly darker than the dressing table but the only ones I like, that don't cost the earth.....what do you think?

    Toochoosey I like it! But I might be being influenced by the black and white tiles.

    I have battle fatigue. Need to declutter children to bed, dry up a huge amount of washing up, put away weekly shop and the floors are a mess with leaves, mud and rain. I'm gonna get children to bed then a HHC at 8pm, then wine! Anyone in?
  • Quick one.... does anyone know if there's a group on MSE for ancestry research. Wondering whether it's worth joining Ancestry.com because some sites only have English records rather than Scottish ones (Still trying to trace my nieces genetic condition.... for many reasons, but largely so my sister doesn't feel like the only one in the family affected by it)
    Saving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.
    Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.
