good for you lush....well done! Dont worry about reading all the posts, or not posting - we all acknowledge that we'd get much more done if we spent less time reading and posting! And we all dip out from the thread from time to time.... but we always come back - without the muleflinging my house just doesnt look the same
I have cleared out my freezer, but havent scored it off - it needs defrosted. But until i empty it a bit more, there no chance of that happening. I can only fit so much in my little one in the house and there is no where to put all the food from the two freezers in the garage while they defrost... Ive done an up to date inventory though and am going to meal plan using as much as I can from the freezers - even if I can reduce it to one freezer.... I can defrost the other.Sometimes lurking, sometimes posting, but always flying

Morning all,
LO is off school today for voting so Im going to take advantage after work and come straight home without collecting him from childcare at 3, as its paid for till 6, and sort out his room and the upstairs.
Although it would be great if there was some sort of divine intervention which meant I didnt have to go to work today at all... I hate itNothing serious - just some roadworks or something closing all the roads to work...that would be good
So far, child has been decluttered to the shower....
Best do something constructive
Sarah - good luck today
Jjef - Congratulations!!!!
