    Everything went down hill from Tuesday afternoon onwards. Nothing done, but half term next week so will catch up and join in again then. On the plus side, both boys bedrooms decorated and carpets cleaned, just need to wipe round the skirting boards and the curtain rails and then the rooms are sparkling!!!!
    Me, OH, grown DS, (other DS left home) and Mum (coming up 80!). Considering foster parenting. Hints and tips on saving £ always well received. Xx

    March 1st week £80 includes a new dog bed though £63 was food etc for the week.

    am fully intending doing Friday's list this afternoon - DS is out for the day on Monday with a friend, and friend is coming back for a sleepover - if I don't do his room they'll be sleeping on the landing!

    Morning all, another morning of being up early. Hubby and mates away to bb shoot so nice quiet day here. Plan is pottering today and whatever gets done is a bonus. :D

    Hope everyone is well as i'm skimming the thread so hugs, sticks, spoons and congrats.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
  • morning all :hello:

    nearly got caught up yesterday and I am pleased with the result so far, I just hope I can stick with you all because I know its only this thread that has got my house looking reasonable, so thank you all. :T

    Its also having a strange knock on effect, I haven't said a word to DH, but he fixed the gate that has been broken for a year, he is decluttering his stuff and doing trips to the dump, stuff I have asked about he has done without the usual delays and procrastination:T

    I must remember to tell him how good he is, or it might stop:rotfl:

    hugs, spoons, fluffy mules, sticks and rocks for anyone who needs them, have a nice day:hello:
    Sue
    Do I need to eat it :o
    Can I afford the calories:eek:
    have I checked for a lower calorie version:T
  • can you send him round? mine is still immune to the revolution going on here!

    Morning all :wave:

    OH gone on his bike to visit his kids / various off spring, gs2 was 1 this week! where has the year gone to? he has taken a suitable noise press button caterpillar type present, I've not gone!!

    I have taken photos of a load more stuff for ebay, so I am ready for the next free listing day, sold another 5 items over night!!

    I see ebay have not wasted any time in billing me for some outstanding fees they didn't take before xmas now my paypal account has some money in it!! but I knew it was coming £1.71, I think I can live with that!!

    Ironing to do
    Reglaze the greenhouse x 2 panes, and wash green house down to get green algae stuff off it.
    Plant up some seed tray

    Have a good day back later
