    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone :j

    Pleased to report everything on the to-do list is done and prepped the lunch too. Surprising what you can do under pressure!

    Guests have not arrived yet so may do a 15 minute declutter upstairs where CHAOS still reigns!

    Have a great day everyone :D

    Happy Easter to you all. Did our egg hunt on Friday amongst the redwoods in yosemite which was fun and a bit snowy.
    claire welcome, having been in hotels, appartments for 2 weeks now i appreciate the chaos of open plan living, good luck.
    See you all at the end of next weeks thread when serious flying will be needed x

    I'm guilty of lurking and not posting :o but will make more effort in future, pinky promise!!

    Still not found a decent job which is becoming more and more demoralising and flying has been half-hearted to say the least. However I am much cheered up by the spring weather and the lighter evenings and I am making plans to de-clutter, clean & improve my house and garden on a teeny tiny budget :money:

    And... today is my birthday :beer: I am sat on the sofa like a queen, not doing an awful lot :j

    Have a great Easter!

    Well after dinner the tots were watching the gruffalo child with in laws so I have dusted and swept conservatory, and tidied the branch of elc that resides in there. You wouldn't know it though, as dd has tipped a box of tissues, her picnic blanket and a tub of pencils over the floor. When I asked what she was doing she said "nol nol, know" which I think means she needed to wipe dolly's nose lol. Dolly has since been discarded and she's now playing pirate ships. Fickle child.

    Mum and mil helped clean up after dinner and dw has been on, we have leftovers ready for tea later, and other than toys, once again, we are in pretty good shape.
