  • Posting in purple today to pay my respects to Diva.

    Recovering from cold but now have enough energy to tackle the week's list! Haven't done anything all week except lie in bed feeling sorry for myself so am keen to get this pit of a house sorted - I'm sure things have been jumping out of cupboards and having a party while I've been ill. Need to spend an hour in each room catching up.


    Starting first hour in our bedroom - 1st job to evict the cat that's curled up on the bed I have to strip...


    Back at half ten for a cuppa and gearing up to tackle the next room...
