Well ladies I am nowhere near flying and have been finding it quite difficault with work toddler and pregnancy so will probably not get going properly till maternity leave BUT I made a start on the kitchen last night and decided to tidy out a drawer. I am so pleased I did. I found the last lot of tesco vouchers which I hadnt put away totaling £25! and a clothes voucher for £25 from my birthday in March!

Well done :T If you just do a little bit everyday you will make progress, baby steps is the way to go.

Blue Elephant welcome

steam mop have no experience but I can't see the point and I bet it would make our condensation problems worse.

DS2 is picking up LO as he has sports club tonight...he finishes at 4 and DS2 s bus goes past LOs school right at this time so makes sense:T

Morning all!

Didn't get to sleep 'til late (exboyfriendish was texting) and didn't sleep very well so haven't long been up
DD2's dad has been to collect car key, he says it might be done today or tomorrow. Just hoping it won't cost too much though I think my parents might be paying for it

I missed wednesday as i was a bit ill, not going to try to catch that up it will have to wait a week, so sticking with thursdays list which doesnt seem to bad as it was the first room i joine din with last week and has been kept fairly tidy. Budgies make the most mess, not got them trained to help yet!!

Dusty many thanks for the link to the Anzac Biscuit recipe; I have all the ingredients in the cupboard as standard, so I'll have a go as soon as I feel well enough.:beer:
Bad, bad night again; the pain is all the way down my arm, and across into my back and chest - it's making Dilly's walkies ..er.. interesting, as I have to steer the buggy with one hand and hold her with 'tother. Thankfully, she's well-behaved!:D

It's a damned nuisance though; it's my left arm, and I'm left-handed.:( Oh well; looks like I shall be playing catch-up with yesterday's list, then doing my own thing in the spare room today::o

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Thursday - Living Room[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I'm confused – I already did the lounge, on Tuesday:think:[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I shall try to give the spare room a general once-over I think; Dusty mentioned bedrooms all being on one day, and I cannot cope with two complete rooms on one day. There's no bed in there, it's used for storage, and currently has Dilly's suitcase on the kitchen trolley in there (her bed is where the trolley usually resides).
