A FROG a week equals a special treat!

  • Good Day to one and all

    Rosalie welcome and welcome little froggy friend.

    Bitsie well done for making your list, a great first start. x

    It has been good to catch up with other people's little fogs.

    I managed a frog yesterday - I hoovered out my car. Did it out at the front of my house. Dog safely in back garden. DD running in and out of the front door - real novelty for her, she was even able to do circuit, out the front in at the back. The dog cried the whole time - he doesn't like being on his own - bless!

    Had lots of little chat's with people going up and down the road, which was really lovely and of course lots of jokes about me doing their cars next - lol.

    Dyson still didn't get everything up but I actually enjoyed myself (did I really say that) - so I don't think that I can call it a frog anymore!!

    Had a lovely picnic in the park in the afternoon and my reward was to just sit and chat with some friends who I hadn't seen for a while - it was lovely.

    My next FROG - my ironing pile and put a name tag in DD's cardigan for school.

    Have a great day everyone esperially you OberonSH, hope you a great time looking round the shops - you deserve it. ;)

    Why are frogs so happy? They eat whatever bugs them!

  • I'm off to tidy the garage......well i think its supposed to be a garage, but its had "stuff" piled ontop of one another since the beginning of the summer

    i have to approach the freezers combat style to get near them :D

    and then to get into them have to haul off tents, coats , tray of dog food , stockpiled groceries etc etc its a nightmare

    so am taking action , been waiting for a dry day so can get the doors open and restack the shelving that is supposed to be used for storage and not the floor

    i have NO excuse DD went back to uni early to start a work placement before her course begins i,ve been blaming her for the dissaray she is so untidy

    the garage is just the start of it every cupboard i go in is "upside down " so the garage will be a good start

    well i better get in there

    gloves on , goggles on ...time for action

    i might be some time :D

  • Good luck, I've just started under the stairs today. The garage will be next, we have to tiptoe through teetering piles of rubbish/scooters/buggies/bikes/things we really out to ebay or Freecycle to get anything out. Mrs BW is pregnant and weirdly yet again it's me that gets the nesting instinct so I'm driving her potty tidying the house :)

    Haha I love that billywhizz!

    I have cleared out the "pantry" (floor to ceiling corner cupboard in the kitchen) today, and restacked all the tons of storecupboard groceries that were all jumbled up in there.

    I really need to have another go at the storeroom (sort of under the stairs). I have no garage so this is where my bike, lawnmower, tins of paint, gardening gear, tools, toolbox, and assorted odds and sodds live. It's not as bad as it was a year or so ago, but it still needs doing... like your garage, jammy, it's an assault course just to get something out of there!
