    morning all:hello:

    well done Pigpen, doesn't sound enough praise for such a mountain moved, but well done anyway :T

    Bit more done in craft room, I can now see the light at the end of that tunnel.

    managed to get face cream too close to eyes last night and woke up this morning in pain, with 2 very red eyes, applied drops first them sticky ointment and at least I can see, but still a bit sore, I dont know why I did it, my eyes are horrible allergic to anything and everything.

    Bread rising [I hope] and more baking to do today so that only milk will be needed from shop in the week.

    well done shysarah I hope you feel proud of your achievements this week :T and
    mrsb I hope you are still able to keep your feet above your head:rotfl:

    Phew the cabin bed is down :D Pictures taken along the way in a vague hope of giving them an idea on how to put it all back together. All I can say is thank goodness I am not having to do it!

    Need some lunch now before we start on the next bit. Half of the bed is in the hall, the rest in the bedroom.

    The great party plan is in motion. DH and DS1 and 2 have been to the venue and removed every scrap of furniture. I have cleaned the house from top to bottom and am very pleased with how it looks.

    This was all done before 11.15 when I went to the hairdressers for a blow dry. £20 well spent. DH loves it and that's all that matters. He didn't have a sinus headache last night so has had a good night's sleep for the first time in 2 weeks. He looks much better for it.

    Just having some soup for lunch then DS3 and DD2 and I are heading to the venue to put up the decorations and photos with my BF and her kids.

    The photos from the party of us in our younger years are on FB. It makes me realise that it is true what they say - you go up a dress size every 10 years. I am as slim as DD1 in some of them!

    WTG Pigpen that's some achievement!
  • Has everyone got their ingredimentos for Shrove Tuesday? Or are there no fellow !!!!!! out there?!

    Carpet in bedroom is being cleaned and vacuumed by DH, and I am going to throw out some dead flowers and do some washing in a minute.

    Then baby stuff out of attic.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x
