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

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!0 -
