    I have had a mixed week. Started well with rerally good intentions but have tailed off a lot.

    So, I am going to have a HHC if anyone wants to join me at 6pm.

    pigpen, where do I find instructions for piccies? I need to know so I can show piccies of my two cats when they decide to emerge from their box in daylight.

    Just time for a cuppa before 6pm :D

    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    Piggers - could I fit a kingsize duvet in one of those? If so, I'll be getting one next time, as getting duvets cleaned is VERY VERY expensive.

    Not sure that there is much point in cleaning (I'd planned to tonight) as the carpenter is running behind so the final sanding will be done tomorrow :(

    Have to redo my planning... tomorrow morning after they get here will be tip run and paint buying. Hoover and mop up after them when they go, then over to do my brother's garden and back here for more cleaning.

    just had drips coming through... carpenter has hit a pipe

    moam, how did you do? I have cleared out the medicine cupboard and thrown/recycled everything that was out of date. I can get the door to shut properly now. It is well organised now; first aid box, box of dogs and cats flea and worm stuff, box of cold and flu things and box of random things-mostly mine. All in ice cream tubs.

    I have also started to sort out the storage jars, too many are empty atm :( When we have some spare cash I will refill them all with pulses, dried fruit and other useful things.

    Time to start on dinner: fish pie and brocolli. I will do the kitchen floor too while waiting for things to cook.

    greenbee I hope the water leak is soon stopped.

    No they don't.. yours suits your needs same as mine do :D

    Just to add.. I have 7 baskets of washing to get through and the bedding needs changing and the curtains need doing and the beasts generate about 4 loads a day!

    Hi Pooh,

    managed most of it, then flung the car to garage & filled up, sorted the garage and loaded a transit, as you do :D

    back home for a sugary drink as feeling a bit shaky after ripping my hand on something - dark, garage, no interior lighting - when will I learn :o DH kindly patched me up

    a sit down then off to help set up a charity sale so they are ahead for tomorrow morning, hard work but the chat'll be good!

    Moam
