    dancemum - wishing you clear thoughts as you tackle your decisions. I like lamewolf's "see if you're disappointed with the outcome" approach - gut reactions can be very revealing. Good luck xx

    Most unusual find whilst decluttering: fake dog poo. What was it doing in my umbrella/scarf/glove drawer?? :rotfl:

    Hope everyone has a good afternoon :D

    You are sure it was fake, aren't you, Bonnie?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Now, I really must get off my bum (been clearing my emails) and go scrub the loo. If I have to clean the loo-brush first again, I shall not be a happy Wolf!:cool:

    Hi guys :wave:

    Not been in the right frame of mind for posting so I haven't, I'm still not really so I'm trying very hard not to whinge all over the thread. I'll keep it short...

    OH gave me the house key back on Monday in a huffy so he'll be back when he's licked his wounds.....I wasn't pleasant....but yeah! thanks for leaving me alone mate when I needed you the most.

    House looks ready and yet I still have a 2 week wait? !!!!!! for?

    Hormonal littley doing my nut in, she will be under the floorboards when I leave, as will the cat.

    Teenie hovering over the fine line... hasn't quite crossed it yet.

    Other than that life is just peachy :D I've cleaned and I'm sick of cleaning so I'm not doing anymore this week, and I don't give a fig if there isn't any clean dishes! I'm going to immerse myself in online window shopping, hot bubbly baths, and chocolate.

    This thread obviously not designed for me this week hahaha x
