    Gnomey, can you find a short, easy, job so you have the satisfaction of crossing something off the list?
    Or a short, easy job that's part of something bigger? Get your mojo working, as it were?
    Me? I'm the good cop. The mule flinger will be by later...

    hello :D

    I've finished work now until 6 December :j. Going away on holiday tomorrow - taxi coming at 7am. Need to pack and have a general tidy round. My Mum is coming to stay to look after the 3 puss cats. They don't get stressed, and she has a week away. Win win. She always asks me to leave her a list of jobs, so I will! BUT I must remember she is 80 now. A very sprightly 80 I might add.

    Catch you later :D

    CBA mood has attacked big time. I am going to have a tidy round today and attack any hot spots, I may even venture into the RoD to do a couple of bits in there. My theory is if I keep on top of the tidying then I can do level 1s, bedroom and bathroom on Friday if I don't find the energy before.

    Mollina we have a resident harvest mouse in our garden and every now and again he trys to get in the house. But we have those plug in mouse repellant things all round the house, and they actually seem to work quite well. Maybe you could look at something like that if the poison isn't working. It's also more humane for them as it doesn't kill them it just stops them from coming indoors.

    Thank you Natty68, I've never heard of these but will check them out on the web.

    Along with my dailies, I'm working through my de clutter list today, I've done 2 of the double cupboards in the kitchen so only have 1 more to do then all the kitchen will be absolutely clutter free!!!
