    Oooh. Progress on Frog 9. Happened to be walking hound and the plasterer drove past. Managed to get the number and have left a message. Hopefully he's more reliable than piggers local business':D

    Not sure whether he just does plastering or decorating as well though. Ahh well. Baby steps.

  • Yeah swallowed a frog that has been lurking since I joined you here. My oven is now sparkling clean - It wasn't horrendous before but the door needed scrubbing and now I have done it I feel so good!!

    I am trying to catch up on flying as I worked yesterday but am pleased so far today I have done 3 lots of washing 1 lot dry 1 lot drying on line and 3rd lot waiting to go on line. It is windy so I reckon by 2pm I can get it on line. I have blitzed kitchen and dining room and master bedroom is getting there.
    I am working on frog list as I didn't log on till tuesday night so bit behind but I have been doing bits this week already - sent sponsor money off for race for life, sorted girls new gymnastics club out, and caught up on some emails that desparately needed doing.

    Right off to do HHC - get master bedroom finished!!!!
    Thanks to MSE savings we got to go to Disneyworld Florida.
