    Happy Birthday lady L, hope you have a lovely one.

    its going to be dust central here for the next few days. builders are here doing the pointing at long last so not going to bother with dusting downstairs. downstairs is tidy, kitchen is semi spotless (bar my huge ironing pile). my room is tidyish, rod and bens room are ongoing projects, cant really do bens room till ive done his ironing tonight.

    going to be continuing with chinese laundry theme though as cant hang my washing out to dry :(
