    Hi I'm a newbie been following the thread for the last couple of weeks and it seems like it's exactly what I need :-) I've been struggling lately with a lots of things so would be nice to gain some control over one part of life! I often say my house is one of those that looks like it's been picked up and shaken but over the sort time I've been flying my house is actually starting to feel homely for the first time in ten years :-) thanks ladies hope to keep my feet off the ground with you all x
  • Can i be in again this week please managed to get thru 90% of last weeks house looks like a home again and hubby even helping out hmmmmm whats he after lol

  • Have managed to commit to taking in a kitten at the end of November. That'll make 4 of the fluffy %&£$£(**(s!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

    Have liberally applied white vinegar to shower room floor as splat 1 stunk the place out by using the shower floor rather than the clean tray 3 foot away - again. Probably should put the litter tray back, as I didn't earlier, leaving them to suffer outside.

    Minion has some clean clothes for school as she brought them downstairs when she got back from her father's.



    And I have ordered her second Christmas present. In October. This is unheard of forward planning. Although you could see the kitten as a christmas present, but someone might not approve, especially as it's the end of November anyway, when they will be old enough to leave Mum.


    Oh, and a memory foam mattress topper from the catalogue, as she finds her mattress very uncomfortable but loves mine, which is a lot older (and tattier), but has a topper on it.

    Not quite on the same scale as certain people with their all singing, all dancing WMs -.- , but hopefully, it will help with the wonky back and bits hurting on her.

    Must go to bed now. Not tired, but must go to bed in case I actually manage to sleep. :)
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
