    Evening

    Didnt get much done last night in the bedroom so playing catch up plus today has been a no fly day due to various bits n pieces.

    Sorry you didnt get the change Valli but its good for us
    FFP - have a shoo for the BD
    Mumto5 - Hope you find th glue, the weather holds and all goes well for the moonwalk. Ouch for DD car and DS losing swimming gear again. Is there any reason he is doing it so many times this week if it upsets his eczema.
    Pollybear - That article is just downright weird, why would you brag about living in a hovel
    CY - bless your DD for writing the poem
    Jo - welcome back. There are so many other names we need to see back as well.

    Just watching BGT results on plus1 then going to have an early night so that I can hopefully do something from the list tomorrow as its a one day weekend again coming up.

    Night fer now

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    There's something about posting here about what's been achieved that makes me want to do more......DUH! that's the idea!!!
    Kitchen cleaned, tidying in lounge, 3 loads of washing done but then yesterday I fell downstairs so nothing got done as a bit battered and bruised. Today I will tackle inside the fridge and change the bed.
    Thanks again to all those providing inspiration to people like me who need a kick up the backside. (If I had been tidying longer I wouldn't have fallen down the stairs!!!!)
