Morning all, been busy here yesterday so didn't get a chance to get on. Hubby dropped his iphone yesterday and the whole screen is cracked, so new phone coming today and i'm to wait in for it while he goes to an appointment.
Raining here so fire has been lit and i plan on doing bits and pieces in all rooms, our room is fine and bedding only changed on monday so i'll leave it to the weekend.
Right cuppa and i'll make a start....Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -

I haven't sorted a list but did manage to do a fair bit of the kitchen on Monday (though the floor needs sweeping again and mopping!). Will try and do some of the bedroom today, it's a tip

Ugh I hate living in a mess! I seem to wash up about 6 times a day at the moment too!Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -
