    Hi guys :wave:

    Thanks for the thread :T

    Are you back home yet, Toots?

    Oooh valli Love the cups :cool: I've got a passion for Denby, don't own any yet but I will do one day, oh yes indeedy

    Been to Morrisons for shopping and breakfast with OH, cut the front grass and cleaned the car :eek: that's 2 frogs eaten wooo!

    LR and kitchen/diner have been kept on top of, the washing however hasn't been done, but there's only 2 loads if that - not including teenies which I refuse to include and indeed DO. Got some fish in the oven for littleys tea, not sure what me & OH are having probs just a sarnie or something....need to sort pack-ups etc for tomorrow.

    The weather has been awful this weekend, went from 25 degrees to -25 overnight brrrrrrrrrrrr.

    ciao for now xx

    I'm going to attempt the whole week for the first time! I'm not a natural cleaner or tidier so i'm sure i'm going to find it VERY challenging.:o

    Here's my frog list for the week:

    1. [STRIKE]Sort clothes in spare room[/STRIKE]
    2. Empty a box in spare room
    3. Clear table in spare room
    4. Empty a box in spare room (are you seeing a theme?)
    5. Clear junk from stairs
    6. Half hour filing
    7. Sort books in one bookcase
    8. Remove 10 items from cupboard under stairs
    9. Remove 5 items from cupboard under stairs
    10. Half hour filing

    Wow, if i could get these things done i will be over the moon because they're all things i have been putting off for months and months!

    The factory shop is not far from here - and I have to go past it (well almost - it would be a tiny diversion off the A38) when I visit my sister so that will be my first port of call when I'm ready. And I read today that they have decided to stay in Denby rather than move production abroad - so I would be supporting local people.

    I have eaten a frog (and fortunately missed any live ones) as I have cut the grass at the back.

    I have also made huge inroads into my ironing pile and I have NOT ONE BUT TWO INSECT DAYS this week:D

    Thanks for the thread.

    Lots going on this week with invigilating, DS2 doing exams, cricket matches, GP appointments, ortho appointment - crazy so any flying done will be a bonus.
