    Famous last words... I started in the corner of the dining room and - within 5 minutes - was taking a door off and dragged it outside. After almost 3 hours there's a difference, provided I only look at the bits of the room I've done. :o

    Doing better then me :)

    Snap - DS1 isnt up yet but as soon as he is the bickering will start. Looks like rain here so not sure what we will be doing. Time for painting or something I suppose, but for that I will have to clear the dining table. Head down and batter on (I miss Toots and Craftyscholar)

    Mrs MP sending every vibe I have for a little improvement every day xx

    LR and Hallway tidied and dusted. We are now free of drying gazebos in the house! Still a little bunting and flag to take down and pack away.

    Need to help DS2 with a job application now and then shower room is next on my list.

    Barely. The only bits I managed were the top half of a cabinet (wiped glass doors and tidied up shelves) and the shelves in the dresser (tidied and wiped). The door I removed was ugly and couldn't be used anyway, because there wasn't enough space to close it, if that makes sense. It just collected dust.

    Sending positive vibes to Mrs MP's niece and the new piglet.

    Plenty of scope for bickering children here today, too, as DS1 is going to help his brother with his bedroom. :eek: It's the second RoD in the house. Fingers crossed it will last and they'll make good progress.

    Off to get breakfast and then make a start.

    Baby still staying put.. Not heard anything this morning but I guess no news is good news.

    Mrs MP.. Good news about LO.. sending speedy get well vibes for her too xxx

    Dusty that is what I said to DD1.. but DS1 will be a kn0b if his arrives even a second before DD1's.. she was sad theirs might be first but I explained she will be bringing hers straight home they are looking at 4 weeks or longer in hospital.. so then she was sad about that. She is just tired and fed up and still being sick every day!
