Diva was obviously a very special person and the leve; of tribute has been very touching. It show that on line relationships can affect us just as much as RL ones.
Monday ~ Living room/family room or other reception room!
This room is one of 2 RoD's due to amalgamating 2 households. but we are slowly but steadily tackling the piles of boxes, but it is not possible to clean much at the mo.
Today i tackled my creative/ craft corner and was ruthless with stuff for projects I know I will never make.
I also filed a pile of bills and statements in the right files:beer:.

Just decided to extend my clean out, tackled DS books and jigsaws, and finally persuaded him if he wants any more new ones any time he will have to get rid of some too small ones! It worked. Hoping to attack cars next! Most of the old ones will go to charity.Ermutigung wirkt immer besser als Verurteilung.

Well I have done the list although I did change the binbag of rubbish for ironing as I had loads to do. Probably would have filled a bin bag and no I do not have any ironing.....until the WM stops and clothes dry.
I am wearing purple earrings in honour of DivaJanuary Grocery 11/3740 -
Evening lovelies! :wave:
Brill news from DIL (thanks for asking poohbear x) looks like Jennie will be home tomorrow, her blood tests come back fine and she's been up and about today, how they bounce back eh :eek::T:j:cool: she gave us all the fright of our lives and I still haven't recovered lol
Just read the entire thread and I am gobsmacked (don't quite know why cos ya's are fab) by the posts for Diva, brought a fair tear to my eye .....you are all wonderful and don't ever let anybody else tell you different xxxxxxx
Thank You from me and the family too for your support and vibes over the weekend, it meant more than you know xxxx
Took littley to see how some of the houses like mine that have been finished and they're fab, I'll def take before and after ;pictures when the time comes for us to be done. Had a flat tyre on the way there tho grrrrrrr it wouln't inflate so fIL and SIL came to the rescue and between us managed to change the wheel, bet the folks watching us in the houses were peeing themselves must have been like watching laurel and hardy and the daft cousin
it was perishing though and haven't quite warmed up yet.
Not much housework done really, did do the kitchen and tidied stuff, done the dailies and seen to the rabbits, the last few days have caught up with me I think so I can't wait for OH to come round to get a great big hug and a snuggle while he strokes my hair, sounds sickeningly daft but that's the way it is

love to everyone and vibes for those in need, I've forgotten specifics already

Haven't done the flying I'd hoped to but at least it hasn't got worse! Bed has been stripped and vacuumed, and the bedroom has been hoovered and de-webbed. Three loads of laundry washed - mattress topper is now in the TD, and another load is waiting to go in.
Plan is to have supper, do a bit more work, make the bed up and have a bath and an early night. Need to make some major progress withnsome work, as although this year has got off to a good start I'm in danger of getting behind now and I don't want to start running into problems at this stage in the year.
I've got a blackcurrant candle burning for Diva.0
