    Sending fuzzy hugs, I've been the same for monthwish I had a cleaning company coming round sometimes but I Know I wouldn't let them in for sheer embarrassment


    Ok cleared some more stuff, binned lots, put the left over puppy pads (not used them for 2 months) made some storage boxes as they needed clipping together, cleaned up some dog mess but now I must admit defeat as the back has gone off and I have a swimming group to run soon. DP isn't home, said he'd be in by 5 to help so grrrr not happy. I don't mind him not coming home, I do mind not knowing as I wouldn't have done as much. I best go take some pain relief. Will potter until I go out.

    Xx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Trust me I ain't too happy either :o, but as Dr Dragon has a severe dust allergy he can't clean, besides which he does everything else around the house :(

    Thanks for the lists JulieJim and Dusty. Must do better this week. I'm in if a little late:( been helping a friend with some decorating today so I've had my wings clipped. Thought I'd cracked it gave the kitchen a quick tickle round thinking it would be today's list but no!! Tomorrow hoping to get mon/ tues done if I get too far behind I feel like a hamster going round n round getting nowhere.
    Hugs to all that need them and congrats on the new baby :-)
