Greenbee, I used to use hat technique, till I found that she had drawn, deeply, with pencil, all over the frame of her (then) cabin bed....her name and lot's of scribbles.....when asked why.....she doesn't want me to give it to someone else!!!!

That was a few years(I think) back and she does accept that if she doesn't look after things , that they will go......but.......memory is short lived!!! and the telly...games...music...etc...are soooo distracting!!!

Valli good luck honey- its never easy but there is no point dragging it on when its not working (((hugs))) No havent sewn the cord down - wish it was that simple!

piggers thanks - she is gorgeous - made for cuddling xxxxx

nice to see mad mudders and MissH sneaking back in after their 2 weeks of over-indulging!
how's my favourite pooch - is the leg healing? huggles for stripes xxxx

greenbee glad your talk turned out well - hope the 2 of you can sort yourselves out and enjoy being together.

sentora Finally LOving Yourself comes from the original americam site - if you get the house in order then you feel better about yourself - thats roughly the idea.

Well I glad is master bedroom day today for 2 reasons, 1 my DS is at home today so woudn't really be able to make progress in the childrens room with his 'help'. And 2 because of huge piles of stuff dumped in there and the smelly bed, due to 2 poorly people.

Saying that my OH didnt get to sleep untill about 3.30am so goodness knows when he will be up so I can make a start.

Oh well I suppose I will have to do all the dailes and some ironing:eek: (thanks to piggers list yesterday I found 3 baskets hiding in the study!!)

WM emptied and refilled.
