    Kitchen Done!!:D:D:D
    Main bedroom done!!:D:D:D

    Not too sure that much else will be, apart from loads of washing. I've run out of enthusiasm. It's very windy, and grey, and raining occasionally. I wanted to spend sometime in the garden, preening the winter border which has snowdrops and hellebores, surrounded by dead stuff that spoils the look, but it's really not the right weather.

    :hello:hi dusty and hex!


    Next week will be very busy, but hopefully enjoyable - on Wednesday DD and I are off to the open day at the London College of Fashion, then on Thursday I'm off to France to visit our partner school, family coming along too. It will be work, but we should have time for some good dinners, and the odd bit of shopping on Saturday morning!

    valli - ah, so that's why my ears were burning! Thank you for mentioning me twice. As long as no-one comes along to check, as there are areas which are silting up again. It is a very simple truth that you cannot clean quickly and easily if it is all cluttered up.On the plus side, DS2 has discovered the joys of selling on ebay, and is currently listing everything he no longer wants. Brilliant.

    :bdaycake:Happy birthday to dusty's DS3, mumof2, and maybemischief, have a lovely day!!:bdaycake:
    nixie
    - hugs.

    pohbear - hugs for you and DS2.
    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be
