    Not sure fancy it is the right phrase, but yes I'll join you. Its wet and gloomy here and I seem stuck to my chair, time to put the roast in and do some ironing...

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Going to get dd from pack holiday - her first time away - no idea how she has got on but hopefully had a fab time and we have sorted her room in the meantime. She is now lots of cuddlies less, quite a lot of books less and has a new lamp and lampshade to make up for her losses;)

    Crafty you mean the rubber one ? I put mine in the washing machine :D soda crystals & a good wash, goes in with the floor mats. Remove it after every use helps

    I now avoid kleeneze, Lakeland and better ware books or I buy junk I don't need, expensive junk it is too

    Lazy day so far as DP has slept until 2pm at home so won't be here until about 5.30/6pm so screws up the day. I've cleaned everything down & vacuumed through but only takes an hour, might clean the windows

    Oh and nearly all the weekend folks gone, down to about a dozen families instead of 90+ :D that's better, oh and I've got eBay bids on a tent package .....must check that nearer 7pm

    Considering cleaning sheets & as much clothes as possible here this week. Only got Thursday evening, Friday and Saturday before we are away again, £4.50 for a clean dry double (poss bit more than double) load is tempting
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Have cleared the newspaper and cardboard from the hall (but am saving it in case it is wet tomorrow) and hoovered the kitchen, hall, stairs and landing. Now I'm shattered and cross because I can't mop :( I really hope I get some cleaning help tomorrow... And I need to call a few people to chase them.

    Lots of pottering done here, and nagged the boys till they did their room and the playroom. I hope things will be easier once they have their own rooms - DS2 (7) plays and doesn't bother whilst DS1 (8) does all the work.

    Need to hoover, but might just have a sneaky half hour ironing whilst everyone else is out. I know how to live don't I?
