    I don't want a ''special'' advert....but wouldn't mind someone's teenager n return for helping them with pocket money. I went great guns today, but I'm knackered tonight, and its because I had a break from the other work....which won't last long.

    There is that solution....but we're having dressing rooms worked into the house in the refurb here....a little one for him, a bigger one for me. :)
  • Evening everyone. :)

    I was glad to see it was the living room today. One of our walls is lined with bookcases that have become gradually more and more messy over the last few months. After these three (or is it four?) weeks of flying I can finally start to see a difference with them. The accumulation of papers filed and books and other miscellany decluttered is starting to pay off. :T Some of the shelves actually got dusted all the way to the back!

    Did the dailies too, and actually cooked a proper meal for the first time in four days. :o A great big pot of spag bol mince, so some of that will be frozen and some made into a lasagne tomorrow.

    I wish this weather would clear up so I could spend a bit of time getting some gardening done. The lawn is like a mud slide.

    Off for some knitting now. Enjoy your evening everyone. :T

    Very muddley back to front and upside down day.

    My allocated HHC time disappeared with a 3 x HH spent at work on a 'challenging' 'phone call which was most certainly not allocated - and led to me only having time for a bowl of my home made soup for dinner.

    Back home again, just washing up the few pots, wondering where OH is, and generally having a quick flit around.
