    Morning all, bedrooms all ready here just waiting on the wardrobes now. Today will be kitchen day and then this evening will be spent hanging everything up and getting the wardrobes organised..:j:j:j

    Kitchen is an awful mess so it should take me all morning to do and then a quick trip into town is needed.

    Have a good day everyone, see ya later.:D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    *waves pathetically*

    Well, I'm off to the Fang Farrier in a mo, to get impressions taken for some new teefy-pegs. Mr LW has the morning off to take me, and has been told to work from home this afternoon.

    So I guess that's my "HH personal time" thingy covered.:(

    See ya's all later.

    Morning all

    Kaz - thanks for the ebay heads up, been waiting for one so will get my photos done later.

    House not too bad today so I'll be chaning beds, meal planning, food shopping and maybe an hour in the garden when the sun comes round to the bit I want to do.

  • Good morning :D

    I am a bad flylady! Sorry Pigpen - I hadn't even noticed because I hadn't looked at the lists :o

    I have put dinner in the SC, and cleaned up the kitchen. i am usually at toddler group but Little Miss sunshine is at the doctors, so i am waiting for her to be dropped off. A quiet morning playing indoors I think :)

    Electrician is coming tomorrow to put electrics in the summerhouse :j I need to get to the bank to get some cash out to pay him. DH can empty the cupboard under the stairs before he goes to work later. DD1 coming home later, as she and DD2 are off to the O2 tomorrow to see Katy Perry.

    I will catch up later peeps
  • HHC at 10.30 anyone?

    Car's in the garage, and awaiting the call to say what the damage is, so going to keep busy!

    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.

    I've took 3 bin bags of rubbish out, cleared and cleaned the worktops, brushed the floor, clear and cleaned the kitchen table.
