    not a bad day after all:D

    Toots - can I just point out how well you are doing! Well done you!! You are an inspiration to the rest of us. Lots of gentle hugs and some extra spoons for you :A


    Ok, I have decluttered some veg curry from the SC, although it wasnt really curryish, more like a nice veg/potato side dish...

    WM is on, more recycling has been put out, dishes done... again - does anyone else feel like they are constantly doing dishes?

    Yup, me, and I feel like I'm constantly cleaning the kitchen!
    Heigh ho. Quite a bit of flying done today. Started with a HHC then kind of went on from there, but forgot to post.
    Got the windows washed too, also have dog nose art here! :D Amazing how vivid it is in the sunshine!
    Also had the windows open all day!!!!!!!
    Didn't get up to the walled garden (I had optimistically thought I'd see if the ground was still frozen after our unprecedented four days of solid sunshine) but might do that tomorrow.
    Made sultana scones and scoffed a couple. They went down really well.
    Room under the stairs is my ROD but managed to declutter some stuff from it today, so while it's a work in progress, it's actually making progress.
    Not meaning to be rude, I'm sorry but I meant to remember whose posts to comment on/congratulate etc, but I've the thumpingest head-ache at the moment, and can't concentrate at all so therefore I have forgotten. Going for a hot bath and an early night shortly, and hopefully that will sort me out!

    ETA What's HH
    Saving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.
    Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.

    I feel like my DW is one constantly! As soon is its full there's another load in the sink waiting to go in, therefore my kitchen always looks untidy!

    Thankyou all for the lovely welcomes and for my PM Toots - I feel on top of 'life' already :)

    I didn't get the ironing done that i would have liked to, never mind i'm used to looking at it :p And I've still got a load of washing to go on tomorrow morning so there's going to be more ironing when thats dry anyway ;)

    I was very impressed with my shop today, popped to L*** to get some bits, spending only £10 and then on to A*** to get the rest, couldn't resist the 3 for £10 wine offer but still only ended up spending £29 and that included a present for ds's friend. DS is used to me saying 'no' to everything he asks for but his face when I said yes to a packet of party rings was a picture bless him, he then carried them round the shop :o 50p well spent :D

    I've also cooked dinner, spag bol and two extra portions of chilli but i think i put too much chilli in - anyone know how i can make it milder?
    :j Mortgage Free!! :eek: )
    Generally trying to cut back where possible :j
