    ExTrolley - well done and I'm jealous!! I have the pleasure of taking DD to see JLS in July at MK Stadium, I keep telling her how awful I think they are but secretly I'm quite looking forward to it. The last concert I went to was to see Michael Jackson at the MK Bowl [showing my age] and although his popularity declined somewhat in later years, on stage, at his peak, he was unbelievable

    Craftygranny - OMG at the garage bill and your kitchen sounds lovely, well done

    Right, after my coffee I am definately getting off my rather large rear end and sorting the dining room - it shouldn't take more than 30 mins but I'm feeling very lazy today, I didn't get the LR sorted last night either - took DD and DS trainer shopping for the hols and bought other bits too and Mums birthday pressies so got home and then couldn't be bothered!!

    Catch ya laters gators

    ExTrolley: Well done. But can't believe the cost of that programme.

    Thanks Craftygranny, ive got lifelong health problems which exhaust me and going through a bad patch at the moment. Going away for a week though next week so hopefully a good rest. Still, got to get everything ready first though.

    Hello Knittingcathy.

    Wheres Buddingblond? Hope you're all right hon.

    Have a good day all.

    Forgot to say, put some washing in because it looked like it was brightening up but now it's gone all dark again. Hope I can get it dry.

    Morning All

    Having a CBA day today, feeling pooped.

    Snookey I'm off to Wales in August. You're not from The Midlands are you? We all seem to end up there for our holidays. I love Wales though, it's so relaxing.

    Well done on all the baby steps everyone.

    Have a lovely time Esther. I hope the weather improves for you. What part are you going to. I tend to go to North Wales because hubby sees it as his second home. He went to college there. I would love to move out that way eventually.

    Hi everyone. Parsnip head we are from Liverpool so its an ideal holiday destination Wales for us. We are there in an hour. Brother outlaw usually takes us and brings us back. We are staying in Pwllheli in a caravan. Esther hope the weather is nice.
    Iv cleaned the kitchen today but thats it. Dd room still in sight for the weekend.
    I got a fantastic bargain on flea bay two shelving units with glass doors, for,wait for it, 98p each!. The seller had put them as buy now instead of starting from. Only downside is that its costing 35 to 40 pounds for delivery. Willl be great for my books.
    Had a snooze this afternoon with three of my cats. Weather was really naff today even had to put the heating on. Its raining now.
    Outlaws came today with sweets for the kids but nothing for the dog. Dog was not amused. He thinks he is another grandchild and expects something when they visit. He sat sulking.
    Hoping a cleaning fairy visits in the night and house looks like a show home. lol,

    I've sold one of my last things on ebay, wooo! Just got to get it packaged and ready for couriers on tuesday. Just a few more things and I can crack on with the decluttering, cleaning and sorting out.

    After the chest infection and croup I've had already this year, I've been diagnosed with glue ear :( my hearing has been on the slide for a week or so, due to what I thought was a cold. It's completely gone in one ear now. I'm really hoping to avoid grommets, haven't really got the time to have it done between two little people and a partner who is out most of the week. I've got a nasal spray to try and help clear it. I can't believe that in my 25 years, I've hardly been ill and now it seems to be one thing after another. Still, I know people are a lot worse off than me and I shouldn't moan.

    Now is prime cleaning time for me, the kids and OH are in bed. Unfortunately, I cba at the moment.
