    Good morning all. I wanted to say a quick thank you to everyone on the thread as I feel that it's really helped me keep going this week. My house is looking much tidier and I seem to be getting tasks done that have been looming over me for a while.

    I have now finished 2 rooms entirely and hope to get a couple more finished off today. I have a long to-do of other bits today too. I seem to have gotten started with lots of tasks this week then I've gotten very easily distracted ...

    Tooch hope your feeling better soon. xx

    Plan today is our room, i'd love to go to bed tonight and have a nice tidy room with floor. :rotfl:
    Some christmas pressies are under the cot so i'll move them, will sort Rhys's clothes out, need to find a home for all our photo's and clear/clean our window sil. Bathroom needs a good clean too but should only take half an hour. :D

    Right gonna get all the beds stripped and flung in the wm.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Just a quick question - would you eat creme eggs/Lindor mini eggs/Cadb.'s mini eggs with best before date 07/2010?

    I'd probably use all apart from the creme eggs. What do you think? Found them in the great DR of Doom decluttering. :o I normally know about ANY chocolate reserves in the house...

    Happy Birthday Mrs Chaos

    more snow last night bu clear skies and bright sunshine at the moment
    I have brushed the snow off the car windscreen in the hope that when the sun hits the screen it will start to melt the ice on the rest of the car.
    I am planning walking to my mum's later to deliver some onions
    I need to strip the beds and TBH get off my tush and do stuff.
    decision to close school today was made last night so I got a lie in this morning :rotfl:
    Our buses are STILL off! nearby routes are running - but would be a hike - ironic really as the bus route I live on is one of the busiest in Valliland with buses every 10 minutes usually! I would have gone to town and it's also the route my mum lives on so would have saved me that hike...
