    hi all

    well i am still here and finding it easier to keep up as the weeks go by...

    only the kids room is a room of doom now - but that is a problem i am ignoring for now as i keep on top of everything else...thanks to everyone for making this thread work for so many of us..

    anyway i am glad it is the bedroom today as its my birthday:beer:and i am going to go up there now and change the sheets and make it sparkly..

    i am now 45 but with 2 young kids (5 and 6) i feel a little old and knackered. DS this morning said he does not want me to get old and die because he always wants to come up to our bed and cuddle me in the morning even when he is old and at big school.

    Anway hopefully DH will stop working in time to take me out for lunch (special lunch time offers at our local thai restauraunt that we have never been to before) and then maybe i can intice DH up to look at how clean the bedroom is....;););) i wonder if we can squeeze in a quick examination of the clean (thanks to fcc) bedding before it is time to pick the kids up from school..(or maybe we can put them in afterschool club ;))

    anway off to make the bedroom appealing..

    Happy Bithday from another birthday girl! I'm a bit older - 49 - but the kids have put a big smile on my face this morning!

    The DD's have bought me a lovely top from Per Una! I normally live in M&S T shirts so this is something special! And it's a size 18 too which I am VERY happy about - this time last year I was about a 24!

    I am going to S/W this evening so will be out of the way when DH makes the second batch of pancakes.......

    Lovely weather here too - brilliant sunshine!

    Off to work now....

    Tuesday's list done. Working on Wednesday. I have been knocked by a grump. Don't know why. Don't know whether to keep ploughing on or just sit back and have a chat with my CBA. Bother it.

    Morning all!
    Well I've been pootling away cleaning up the kitchen/living room and sorting out washing etc. Going to sort todays listy out and then get on with the utility room. I notice if I make a start with something like that, hubby does tend to chime in with support and trips to the dump because he sees me making an effort, so hopefully (although he is up to his neck re-jigging his computer at any free hour just now, complete with accompanying male scadge when he finds it frustrating!) however...... I will have my crafts room/pantry/cooking equipment room I will I will I will!
    mumbles.... I may have also become a bit caught up in one of PenPen's craft blog reccommendations on the doing something for lent thread....
    Going for an HHC at 11.30 if anyone feels like it?
