    froddy whats your worst room (not counting the spare room) why dont you just do one room all week and so you will feel you have done something and it will be a bit less for your break?????

    Well, the kitchen and bathroom are pretty good and don't take much to get up to scratch but the front room and my bedroom are a tip! I will try and do more in the front room this week and make my bedroom the half term project as I want to do a major deluctter in wardrobes, etc.! Thank you :A x
    No playing at the club tomorrow. I do, however, have something fun to practice - Down in the tube station at midnight by The Jam, perfect for poxy Valentine's. More appropriate for my mood.

    I love that song! :D

    Thanks for the thread I'll be doing a bit of light fluttering between other various lovely things.

    Piggers I expect there's a reason but can't DS1 go and stay with XH for a while? He was moaning about the others not going. I know they didn't see eye to eye before but maybe now would be a good time.

    Hugs all round x
