  • Afternoon ladies! Hope were all well/feeling better!

    Had a very productive day yesterday. Well, I say I did. Got home to discover that the sofas were against the front door and all of the rest of the living room stuff was either stacked in the kitchen or lying on the stairs. No...we had't been burgled..the OH had decided to have a bit of a clean! Can't complain though, the place was spotless! So whichever day is Living room day I cna officially have off!
    Managed to most of the kitchen stuff, need to catch up a little tonight though.

    :wave: hello to everyone. Keep meaning to pop in and check the list but just busy, busy, busy at the moment. Not complaining though. Anyway, a trip to the dentist (the last one I hope!) has slowed me down for the afternoon so will potter around and do some tidying whilst my face comes back to life.

    Oooh, i did the bathroom yesterday so i've done today's list:j.

    Hugs to all xx

    The doctor sent me to the vampires who extracted 6 phials of the red stuff. I still feel poorly and am dreading DH going away tomorrow until Friday. I can hardly look after myself never mind the kids.

    It's taken most of the day to accomplish the above. I went to Mr T and spent enough to get £5 off next week and 10p off a litre of petrol. Why oh why did I fill my car up on the way in.

    I've cleaned out the fridge and washed all the drawers and shelves. Now for the school run.
