Hello everyone:wave: Can I join as a lurker please??? I do try and keep up but am rubbish at remembering to post what I have done - can't promise I will get much done this week as I have a poorly boy Can I just say how lovely and friendly everyone is on OS board, I have been reading it for a few years now and have occassionally ventured over to the other boards but they are scary places :eek: So thank you all for being lovely and working hard to keep us all on track :j:beer:

:xmastree:So you'll be spotted

Oh dear, I must apologise for the weird whiny noise from Crafty Corner earlier - even I wanted to slap me when I re-read it.:o

However in order to avoid any fluffy mules that might have been flung I went and did a supermarket shop so I should be sorted for a while.
Also checked that one of the opticians in town did still recycle old reading glasses (having realised how many pairs were lurking in my bedside cupboard) Plus worked out that one of my old glasses cases was just right for my ipod and earpieces.

NOW he's swaggering down the laminated floorway doing what looks like a combination of the Funky Gibbon to the Theme From Shaft.

And there are still laminate sandstorms blowing through my clean kitchen!!!!

Triker

Decorations are down and packed away.

Ditto christmas tree.

Room feels so much bigger.

Took the defective pan back and haven't found a replacement...I'm sure I'll cope.

:beer::j:j xxx Happy new year!!!!! xxx :j:j:beer:

Hope you have all had a lovely festive period but am sure, like me, you will be glad for everything to go back to normal and enjoy some peace and quiet!! (whatever that is...)

Ive missed this thread so much - but made an effort to keep of my laptop and actually get things done....my PC packed in so I was back to using my tiny laptop, which wouldnt connect to the wireless, so had no choice initially, but then I realised how much more time I had free to do housework :rotfl:one major drawback though is I can access Facebook through my phone...so I still spent far too much time WASTING time :o

That said I did manage to declutter massively before xmas and took 3 car loads to the tip, as well as 2 loads to the charity shop plus made loads of money on Ebay :D Ive also managed to clear off a lot of debt and one Credit card has gone completely **ching ching**

However, there still seems to be as much gibble as always lying around and so many things just dont seem to have a home so Im back on the thread and am banishing Facebook instead :rotfl:....she says....
