Clearing out the front hall. So far I have binned 7 pairs of shoes and charity bagged several coats. OH (aka Imelda) is not going to be happy. The man collects shoes and coats at a scary rate. There are some impressive spiders in there.
Greenbee - I have managed to remove my running jackets (spirng and winter) from the hall and put them upstairs ready to parcel up. Stressing, but I think it is clear a year on from the original flare that I am never going to run again. *hyper-ventilates*'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -

WM is on with tomorrow morning's line-full, wiped the kitchen down and relocated my cook books, peeled and sliced a fresh Pineapple (can you believe I've never had a fresh one before) it smells gorgeous! and closed all the windows cos it's now raining, quite refreshing actually.

Evening all, not been at home much today. DD's hearing aid is now fixed. Hubby spoke to the doc who has contacted the HTT who have already been out, then the doc and nurse and HTT are out tomorrow. Hubby seems to think he's going to have a rough night, well i might just go to bed then....:mad:
Sparky hasn't showed up yet, house is a tip and boys need left to there club soon. I have old beds everywhere, kitchen is a tip and livingroom doesn't even look like a livingroom.
Happy birthday to both birthday girls, hope you've had a lovely day.
Right i need to go make a start and hubby can flipping well help, hopefully it will tire him out tonight.

Just a quick catch up.
Did not get much done last night as we had a major incident nearby and had to leave the house for 4 hours. A guy had cut the gas pipes in his house and threatened to blow it up. After four hours the riot police got him out after the gas and electric was cut off.
Today dailies done.
Hoovered right through.
Towels washed.
Will catch up with the thread now.0 -

Good evening, I haven't fully caught up on the thread so hope you all had a good day x
DD's show went really well but sitting on a chair for over 2 hours wasn't so fun.....never mind, only have to do it 2 more times!! We had a text from school this morning teeling us to make sure the kids took a raincoat...yep I did that....shame the bloomin school didn't make sure they wore them!!!! Luckily it wasn't raining when they came from the hall, as the coats were in school!!!!
Not a lot done from the lists so will have to crack on tomorrow morning...I have stripped, washed and remade DD's bed....chip shop dinner....and joined WW!!!!
