    Goodi was going to shorten your name to G.I.T but thought better of it - hope it stays dry for you and the repair is not too costly

    Not acheived much more, bit of pottering out the front. Early night beckons and tomorrow I must do the ironing.

    Boo!

    I'm still here, still alive... hugs to everyone who needs them - particularly (and no, I'm not singling anyone out, just I caught a tad of a thread) to Vanilla apropos her hubby xxxc

    Working hard and long still. But, kids are fine, cats are fine, BB is fine, chickens are ultra-productive. I'm muddling through....

    Home is sort of up-together. I had Family down last weekend which is always a good kick up the derriere in the housework stakes.

    After almost three weeks of drought, we've finally had a lot of rain this weekend which can only be good.

    I send my love to you all xxx

    is brilliant - you need to give it a couple of minutes to load....

    But, best go put the chickens to bed (they WILL roost on a window ledge rather than go into their safe coop!) and then hie myself away to bed

    hugs to all

    Hellooooooooooo!

    Hope you're all grand! Happy birthday to Triker - hope you're having a lovely day sweetie!

    I'm plodding along with the house but work has gone absolutely manic so not having much time to pop in. I was runnng round like a headless chicken yesterday - children, dogs, husband (the usual) and then I saw my new clematis had flowered. It's amazing how something so simple can make you slow down and smile. I've put it on my mobile phone as wallpaper to remind me to stop sweating the small stuff.

    Massive hugs to you all ....think of you all often xx

    have to say mine never get so bad I have to get the vac out :rotfl:

    am finding loads of 'put by until free listing' things so am listing steadily

    next job is to start to reduce the paperwork pile.

    I will do what nmy mum says to do

    pick up ONE piece of paper
    deal with it (ie file/shred/throw - whatever...)
    Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY
