Evening all, have been a bad girl yet again. I pop on a post then disappear for days..lol.
Well starting from tomorrow I am turning over a new leaf as I really need to get the house sorted out now. Surface wise it is okay and I can happily have people over without cringing, but all the nitty gritty bits are definately not in any order..
A heartfelt plea from me below
I do need help for my lovely friends on here though.. So if anyone sees me on FB and know I haven't been in here that day can you please give me a kick up the rear end..pretty please. Many many thanks xx
Tomorrow I need to write my frog list, but I am going to try writing one for the month of August instead of a weekly frog list. Although I will be doing things each day as per the daily list
Hope everyone is doing okay and not struggling with the lists or various other bits/things.
