back from stripping.
i found the height chart the inlaws had for my DH under the lining paper, i assume they had the bathroom papered in '68 as nov of that year was the last height recorded. it quite bought a lump to my throat.

work now then my lists
'see' you all later

Aww, bless! We have a silhouette "cut-out" done by a street artist when Mr LW was almost 4 years old (it has "Sept 53" on the back, he was 4 on 5 Dec 1953) which I managed to find a suitable frame for in Past Times, so now it lives out on display in the lounge.

Just a mo while I find the camera, I'll try for a photo to show you.....

There we go; I propped it up against a shoe-box lid and managed to get it without a reflection of the flash.;)

Kitchen taps currently being stripped of their limescale overcoats; we go through jars and jars of pickled onions, (Mr LW's a pickled onion fiend):D so I'm using the vinegar from there!:money:

Hello and welcome..

I am mid fling in the bedroom.. 1 binbag of rubbish out and a charity bag filled.. again! I also discovered i fit in some of my pre-Squeak jeans so I have a new wardrobe hence more flinging!

I found a new pair of jeans with labels attached claim to be an 18.. they are seriously more like a 12/14 .. ridiculous sizing.. so to ebay they go!

School run then more bedroom flingage... I'm having a lovely time.. but OH is stressed with the 2 teeny pimks!

Loads of paper work done here and finally got DD's 3DS sent back so she'll be happy. Painter has turned up to so he worked away in the livingroom, he's gone now but should be back later. I'm hoping the joiner turns up tonight so the painter can get the skirting done.

Right better unload the dw and reload then the boys will be home and homeworks can be started.

Welcome, just a take it easy and enjoy them whilst they are little.

We have food, how long for though I don't know all 3 boys are munching their way through it already.

Just going to pop in the garden on a slug hunt and then a HHC in the kitchen for me before dinner prep.

Lamewolf I love the cutout, so much detail

That is really lovely Lamewolf.
KazW, huge hugs and pickup business fast vibes. Not sure what you do to be able to suggest anything.

A quick update:

• Lots of bedding and towels folded... I might even take it upstairs soon
• WM x 1
• DW x 1 - now the Mr T shop has arrived I have dishwasher tabs!
• Stuff flung in charity bag for collection tomorrow
• Bottom of old computer chair hidden in main wheelie bin (can't get to the tip without a car)
• Manky flowers binned
• Lots of JSA advice given to friend with looming redundancy but she's clearer & less stressed now
• Most of the shop put away but I need another plastic crate for what DS calls my 'armageddon stash'

Only 3 of us here and my shop came to £58.76 (plus delivery) - for 117 items :money: don't you just love tesco value Oh and I turned down their kind offer for individual lemons and limes - "buy one for 30p, or two for 80p" :wall:

Lovely image of Mr LW - what long eyelashes he has - all the better to flutter at you LW :rotfl:

Off to post a letter now.

Byeeeeeeeee
