Evening peeps, I got to have a big catch up today as OH was able to look after DS so I could crack on. I knew tomorrow would be a bit of a manic day as we're off out all afternoon and having people round for tea so I did some bathroom bits this afternoon which I will pass on later. Sorry I havent been posting much to people, have been reading through everyones posts but I'm still finding my feet here. Just wanted to say thank you to everyone on this thread for being so welcoming, friendly and motivating. Just 3 days in and I aready notice a huge difference in our house xxx0 - [STRIKE]
