    Right!!

    This week I am going to try not to end up with a pigsty of a house by the end of the week

    I always have such good intentions but end up so tired that by the end of the week I just give up!!!

    Have been very good and tidied and hoovered and done all of the washing so I have a chance of keeping on top of it !!

    Have a good week everyone

    Go hopefully into each new day, enjoy something from every day no matter how small, you never know when it will be your last
  • Bit more studying done, DW on. I have made a cuppa, so I will put the animals to bed & turn in myself now.
    Goodnight all

    Hi Guys :wave:

    Hope you are all well, I am in this week, was in last week, just never posted I was, I finish work at 5 and have DS parents night at nursery then need to pick DD up from Gran so its prob going to be around 6.30 before I get home to make a start :eek:. I am also busy crafting for a christmast fayre but have been doing wee bits during my lunch hour. I ordered a steam generator iron thingy and 46" wide ironing board over a week ago and its still not here :mad: so I can get the mountain of ironing away. I am also off to Blackpool on Saturday for a Tinsel n Turkey party and do not want to come back to a mess on Sunday as I may be a bit worse for wear :o.

    Take care for now and thanks to the new leaders for taking over the thread from Pigpen it would have been a sad loss if it had gone :T
