    :wave: Hello! Hope you're all keeping well. I've gradually been doing a bit more, mostly going through boxes from the attic. Some of the things we've kept are just ridiculous - we seem to have kept every greeting card we've ever been given, the acceptance cards for our wedding (13 years ago!), millions and millions of photographs, broken stuff - it's mad! Found lots of fun things too so i've enjoyed going through it all. Some of it's been up there so long that it's no longer a problem getting rid of it like all my old darkroom stuff - i'll never use it again and it took up so much space. I've stuck it on ebay and I honestly don't care if it only goes for 99p - at least it will be used again and we'll have space!

    Going to have a go at reading some of the thread now to see what you lovely people are up to xx

    Hi mudders - glad you're feeling better.

    Any idea what I can do for tea with my tiny toads? I'm lacking inspiration.

    Hi flyladies. (((hugs))) and spoons to all those in need. I've had a great day in Paris so I'm feeling re-charged. We walked for hours. Finally gave up when it started raining and am now at hotel de-cluttering some admin and client work on the free wi-fi.

    Isn't that sad:D But I'm earning money while on holiday. Can't be bad.

    LW take it easy. Hi nixie. Hope the cold goes soon. Saw lots and lots of dogs today, but none as cute as ours.

    Off to Versailles tomorrow. If its not raining.

    AnW hope the snow didn't arrive. I think I've worked out where you are:)

  • I've decluttered the kitchen work tops.
    and hoovered the stairs :eek:
    After I've done the lounge the doggilywogilies decided to empty the biccy box. Gravy bones all over the floor :eek: piglets. And the one who tipped them isnt even eating them - Team work!

    Cat - sounds like your having a good time :D Are you seeing papmered poodles? or is that a bit too much of a stereo type :rotfl:
    Always nice to be paid to be on hols :)
    Are you going to the lovely bistros, I could have holiday envy you know :) (me diet's telling, all I can think of is the lovely patisseries <spelling??> mmm cake)

    I'll have to be better by wednesday - I've booked a horsey lesson :eek: Hoping they dont laugh at the 30something trying to be 15 again. Blurgh sodem if they do. I wanna do it :T:T:T

  • OOhhhh a bit of peace! Kids are watching Avatar and I'm pottering. Clothes all ironed, DS's bedding on rads. Will iron when dry!

    DD2 has stinking cold but with some gentle 'encouragement' she has done quite a bit of H/W. Her mates are away with families, so the plan is to get all the H/W done before the weekend when she has a party.........

    Been shopping - used my Coop vouchers which I found last week.;) One of the many reasons to start shifting the gibble!

    Rainy here and SO cold! :eek: Off to have a pootle on the net and then cook tea!

    nixie trying hard to avoid all patisserie. Need to lose 3 stone. As much as possible by 10th May when we have a big do. Also don't have a sweet tooth. Bigger problem is avoiding all that lovely vino paid for by the parents. Must be strong, Must be strong.

    LW I'd love that recipe to. Half the time I think that's the best thing to do with my computer:rotfl:
