seafarers_wife

ok points 11 & 12 done from my extra list. off to finish sorting out babys room properly so i can access everything easily.

roundtuit

Yes :j kitchen cupboards are now usable. Now I can start to fetch stuff out of storage in the Tardis :T four months of procrastination and all it took was two days on flylady to achieve it. thankyou thankyou thankyou.

Have also been through a carrier bag of 'paper' and sorted into keep, bin, recycle, shred....found my MOT certificate

Got to go to Jobcentre to sign on later this afti, so was just going to go for petrol...and my car won't start. :mad: third time it's broken down in 6 weeks...first time was as I was taking DS to Uni for the first time...no stress there then...and cost £329 to fix; second time was in town car park and cost a £10; this time it's parked on the drive and I haven't phoned anyone about fixing it yet...just arranged a lift to JC with my DOD.

I'm sure theye is a gremlin somewhere that hates me being happy and organised :0(

But heyho xx

*sneaks in sheepishly*

I saw a thing on faceache trying to round us up again...and have you given up the front page, piggers?

Truth is, building work has been going on here since July and I've lost the plot.

Today I have sorted through some baby cothes to give away, and will declutter a governors meeting tonight.

Hi Grateful, decluttered my governor meeting last night - must file all the papers in a minute, is the building work nearly done?

I've cleaned the bathroom and made some scones and chatted with a neighbour from up the top of our road who popped in.

Just been reminded school Christmas Fayre is that Saturday so I'll see if I have anything to declutter to their tombola

oh yes.. far too much happening in the real world to fit that in too.. I might actualy get through something from the lists if I dont have to write them

Reclaimed some beasties
Another load of Dots stuff dried.

DD3 peed the bed last night so I have all that to wash.

Another box of CPs arrived and the tops and tight for Squeak so I have those to put away.. and there is plenty of tidying for the children to be getting on with.

Arthur(itis) is killing again today so I need my wrist splints and drugs which just make me thick..

Some little gem in DD4s class has put a hole in her seat wedge so she is buying her a new one.. I will replace it so we have one immediately and the school or the brats mother can give me the money back! I shall be having words with the teacher tomorrow and they wont be pleasant words!

More laundry to be done..

Folded 2 lots ready to go away, DW been on, kitchen mopped again.

Hi and best wishes to everyone.:beer:
NB if I was honest I would post up pictures of the affected rooms...needs power of the Confessional...:beer::beer:

Nearly done - table or cupboard.....both are disasters! Cupboard first, before baby wakes up since his fave game is to pull it all out again...

Afternoon all!

I was inspired last week to dig out my old suede gloves. Does anyone have any tips on how to clean them? The dry cleaners won't do them as they're too small an item to go through their machines. I've had a scrub using suede cleaner for shoes, but they still look grubby.
