    Hey everyone. :j
    I havent posted for a couple of weeks so I thought I should check in. We've decided we're going to try and move house this year so DH and I have been decluttering heavily. Unfortunately my car is broken down so I can't get to the tip or charity shop with all the bags and boxes so they are all over the house now!
    Hopefully I'll start getting it all out of the house tomorrow or Weds, and then I will be on with some seriously flying. It's so great that so much of the deep cleaning has already been done because of following this thread, so a lot of it is now just keeping on top of it. Still, this is often the hardest bit - not letting the momentum slip.

    I hope you are all well. I am off to catch up with the thread. :)

    done loads of washing and ironing, cleaned and tidied the kitchen and made a belting toad in the hole for tea - so impressed was DD1 that she took a picture of it and it is her picture of the day on F/B! ( She does lead a sheltered life.....)

    OH has been a pain in the derriere for absolutely ages now! I'm really starting to fume about it! I think he's headed off to bed now - not a word to me or anybody else - it feels more like a house share than a marriage! Tomorrow - could be interesting! We will see!

    I'll do some more washing up and then head to bed I think - I could do with an early night....

    Kids have been on the family laptop and the power cable has gone missing so this will be short and sweet.

    Sorry I have been awol. Having said that DH did clean the LR this morning when I was at work (he didn't have a clue what was on the list today but did very well considering).

    Tomorrow is DH's birthday. The secrets I have been keeping are finally about to come out of the bag and enormous thanks go to Maxonian for all her knowledge and wisdom of the local area. I owe her a glass of her favourite beverage and if you're reading and want to meet up w/e 18/19/20 March let me know.

    I need to go to bed as the kids are going to be up very early as everyone is very excited.

    I hope everyone had a lovely day today, sorry I haven't had read the thread today. I hope to catch up after tomorrow.

    Hi all and the Noobs,

    Special hugs to LL, LW, Toots, Soapie, Mudbath, Natty and Juliejim.

    Hugs, spoons and sticks to those in need, just help yourself.
    Was going to do a nice long post at around 7o'clock, but my best friend 'phoned and asked for help...
    So we are now back home having put a new belt on her WM,:cool::cool: replaced the batteries in her front room 'phone and sorted out the threshold bar into her kitchen 'cos one end was loose and the other end the screw wouldn't come out at all..:mad:
    And I can't remember anything from what I was going to post...
    I'm having a cuppa, then I'm off to beddybyes cos I's tired and I'll post tomorrow when my brain wakes up...:o
