Mudbath

Afternoon - just flying in to say hello. I've given a bag of clutter to the charity shop, cleaned clinic and worked, walked dogs and I am ready for sleep!:rotfl:

I'm trying to never leave a room without tidying one thing up and it looks good. I've also put a small table by the front door so if anything needs to go out, e.g. birthday card to be posted, it goes on the table and, so far, things are leaving the house when they should. Not putting anything valuable on there or keys or anything.

Hugs to everyone especially to tootles and LL.

I don't think i've welcomed anyone to the thread so, if you've just started on the thread...HELLO!!! xx

toottifrootti

nice to see you mudders love to you and cuddles for stripey dog xxx
