    Right, my headache is lifting. What are we doing, buddingblonde? I think I may venture into my room of doom for a wee half hour and see how much I can get done. Are you for it?

  • Well I have emptied my freezer so I am waiting for it to defrost - I have 2 washing to peg out and then I might join you for a wee bit and see what I can get done in the spare room x

    just to popped in to say that I have a manic 40 minutes back in the bed room.

    Things popped in boxes to be sorted later. I know but if do them now I would be in there for weeks:rotfl:

    So rushed around put the boxes in the wardrobe.

    And you can now see the floor :eek: not that bad really that you could walk around the bed:rotfl:

    I must admit to watching making space on 4OD and then I don't feel so bad. (not being smug or looking down on anyone)also it is giving me ideas for storage etc.

    :) Well, in the true spirit of CHAOS, I asked Mum what I could help her with, chores-wise, and she wanted the upstairs bathroom given a good going over, so have been in there on and off for a couple of hours. I have vacuumed the fluff off the walls! You get awarded medals for that, you know. Plus have found a MIA toiletry item which Mum thought she had run out of and she's pleased and we now have clean bathroom and bedroom windows.

    So, order is creeping around upstairs where Nan won't get to see it so tomorrow we will have to concentrate on the living room, kitch and cloakroom. In a home which doubles as a book depoistry for my brother's online business and is subject to being furlined due to 2 very lovable moggies, one of which is a longhair and both of which are vacuum-phobic.

    :D Henry de Vac has chased the "girls" outside and I'm having a wee rest and recharge as have ME and can't do too much of anything. 2nd wash load going thru and about 75 degrees outside......bliss.

    PS can I have an Oreo pls?

    :) This is true. I've never understood what these things called "biscuit tins" are for; doesnt everyone eat the whole packet at a time like wot I do? :rotfl:
