I'm in - day off for me tomorrow, but DD2 back so peace? You must be joking!
Tons of ironing to do - and fully intend to go swimming! Haven't been today because I went for a free (very MSE) showing of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen - thank you Radio Times. I enjoyed it very much.
Apart from DD1 I was probably the youngest person there! Is that more to do with the fact that it was at 11am or is this just the average readership of the Radio Times?
Off to bed now...:jFlylady and proud of it:j0 -

Hi, can I join please :hello:
I have a fairly messy house, with a lot of clutter that needs sorting, I am useless at being organised and having routines so hopefully with a bit more structure it will all get sorted.

Welcome back and happy job hunting
Ironing all done. Just going to empty DW and dry and put the WM drawer back and then bedtime.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
I'm in. Ofcourse since I decided to join in again, apart from the list, my own personal stuff that needs doing THIS week are:
* take photo's of all the things I am not happy with in our "new" bathroom, ongoing battle getting things fixed under warranty and write letter of complaint (done with the nice approach over the phone)
* get order for cards done asap, this involves going through some craft stuff that is lying about
* make a start on sorting out card making stuff and find permanent storage solutions for it all.
Not an awful lot then... I better not think about it too much otherwise I won't be able to sleep from worrying about it all.0 -
I'm in this week too please. Was MIA last week no excuses just Arrghh!!!
Welcome newgirly and welcome back skint_spice (love the name) although I'm a newbie so haven't met you before but sure you could teach me loads.
Mumoftwo card making and craft stuff breed daily, every time you turn the light off. Finding tidy storage for it is an impossible task. My craft room is my Room of Doom. I remember back in February I cleared the room a little enough to see the top of the table and was delighted
however light off and it happens again!
Maybe I'll wake up later peep into the craft room and the elves from the "elves and the card maker" will have visited. I live in hope!
Might need a gentle kick up the b*m this week but I'm gonna try. I like starting Monday in the kitchen so that's a good start:)The secret of Christmas
It's not the things you do at Christmastime

Morning All
Well I was in the middle of making Twinks but then I couldn't find my golden syrup so I'll have to wait until my mate gets up and then go and pinch hers. DS is just moving upstairs so I'll go and get DD up in a min. I'm not going to have any time to do anything tonight so I'll probably be playing catch up tomorrow although I've got a meeting at 7.30 - in fact there isn't 1 night I'm not out at some point this week.
Have a good day all
Hugs
