    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Good morning everyone. So sorry to hear about Diva.

    This week I'm hoping to complete extras as all rooms except the RoD are clean & tidy so shouldn't take me too long to complete. If we manage to get out in time for play group then the list will be done when DS has a nap. He woke up at 3.30am so is still in my bed, probably should wake him up soon. Hope everyone has a nice day and doesn't get too wind swept:rotfl:

    Morning All,

    I don't recall Diva but oddly enough I put on my purple jumper this morning before reading this and will also light a candle this evening. My hugs and love to all those who are feeling her loss.

    Had a busy weekend which included cleaning out my garage, painting the ceiling in the hall and getting all the holes/cracks sealed up. All of those done with a significant amount of help from my Dad.
    Thurs/Fri we are going to do the walls together so that will be a big help.

    Today...
    Starting off by visiting GP to ask about support for appeal and also need to call occupational health nurse to confirm I would like a letter of support from her too. Also running mum to the supermarket as she needs some shopping.

    OK listy..

    Oh, I like today's list - it fits really well for me as Mr B won't be home until later, so I won't be trying to clear up around him whilst he's watching telly. Well spotted Pigpen's robins.

    Looking forward to doing an HHC or two with people later - especially hoping Mrs Chaos will be around to keep me on track. :)

    Question. I have 'heavy duty' cushion covers - the sort that almost certainly say 'dry clean only' (assuming I could find a label). I'm really not tooooooooo bothered about them living forever - certainly not enough to pay for dry cleaning - but do you think it's worth the risk of bunging them in the WM? If so do you reckon I can risk 40 degrees or will I have to stick to 30 degrees? Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

    By the way, I am still tootling on with the Bar Friend thingy-stuff on the sink - most definitely better than it was, but I think I need to try out the paste approach for the last bits - and I'm trying to work out whether the tap's worn away (before I started) or whether it's serious serious muck!

    Candle lit,

    I have just joined this thread and don't know of Diva, however she must have been one extra special lady to have touched so many hearts.

    Count me in too please, I am going for the full Monday list

    I'm in this week and will do today's list in memory of Diva.

    I used my molten brown purple shower gel because I don't have anything purple to wear.

    The school run is calling.....
