    Just up - still in dressing gown and having leisurely cuppa. Looking forward to this list as hall and LR are in reasonable state after hols. Might do a couple of HH declutter -or I may not.
    I know I am making a difference cos:
    1. I had unexpected visitor yesterday and I was ok at bringing them in to my almost tidy house - didn't feel that usual sense of shame and panic!!!!
    2 Son called last night and asked were we expecting people coming to stay!!!
    I really appreciate reading the posts on here -don't always get them all read tho'.

    Not doing so great today :( I have moved the furniture back round now that the tree has gone. It's a shame really but the room looks wrong that way round without the tree, if that makes sense :undecided
    Stopping for something to eat and a coffee, all the dust :o has started my cough off again :(

    Afternoon all

    Happy Birthday Greenbee :)

    Vacuumed through downstairs, one load of washing done. Went out for a walk. Saw a squirrel and a robin.

    I've come to a standstill :(

    I can't stop coughing and I have all the dusting left to do :o
    I have unloaded the DW and done some more washing, all odds and sods that you never have a full load for - scatter cushions, slippers, travel wash bags (they were a big bit dusty from hanging on the back of the bathroom door, shows how often we go away :cool: ) and I'm washing a couple of my Kipling bags. I know they're only supposed to be damp clothed but they are really grubby and others have come out ok.
    I've fed the cats AGAIN! Only topped up their biscuit much to their disgust :rotfl:
    I've so prepared dinner and stuck it in the slow cooker, I've invited DD2's dad for dinner. He was dropping off money for DD2's new drumming belt / drum holder thingy £25 :eek: so I thought dinner was the least I could do.
    I still have upstairs to finish as well!! :eek::o:( :wall:
    Coffee first I think? :)

    Welcome BeccaC! I've only recently started to post on this board but it's really friendly and very inspirational - have fun flying!

    Early afternoon update for me - after a few very late nights I'm really feeling too sluggish to want to do much today. Have put the heating on ;) and am snuggled in the lounge next to the radiator, bliss! My MIL is picking DS up from school today so I can stay like this for a while...:D
