    Mumto5 - I would look into getting a new door if it is costing you that much each time. Have you looked for anywhere cheaper?

    While my laptop was getting going I managed to hoover the hall, doormats and bits of the sitting room that needed it most. Progress was then disrupted by a friend calling, so I'm now going to have to catch up on work before I have to go out... need to do better than yesterday with the time and motion thing!

    Afternoon everyone.

    The sun is out here for a change although lots more rain is forecast for the week. Glad some of you that need the water are getting it just now - I would send this weeks downpours to you if I could.:)

    pigpen - Pegasus t-shirt liked as requested. Love the design - beautiful.

    Flying today - DW on and emptied. Downstairs loo and sink cleaned. Awaiting food delivery - need to iron or garden (tackle weedy jungle) in the meantime.

    Still a lot of yesterday's list to do, so glad today's seems a bit easier.

    Have a good day everyone.

    Not doing very well at decluttering my project :mad: I seem to have 10 minutes of productive work and then have a brain block. I have been trying to do it in 3 sections during the day but not succeeding, think I may be working when DH gets home too :(
