    Hugs Gintot - happened to me on more than one occasion with eldest son. Now he has left home and he keeps his home pristine:mad:

    Busy day today with a trip to choose some fabrics for my quilting course. The choice was overwhelming and far from MSE.

    Butterfly Brain - hope your bruises are beginning to settle x

    Ah lucky you Molly going on a quilting course. I started quilting in October last year and have become addicted. Have so far made 5 quilts, also spent a fortune, my excuse is it's all money I wouldn't have had except for Martin Lewis showing me how to reclaim PPI. I'm storing up a stash for when I retire. have just been looking at "fabric !!!!!!" on the internet.:rotfl: Happy Quilting.

    Hope is like the sun, which, as we journey toward it, casts the shadow of our burden behind us.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Hugs to all.

    Visited darling uncle today and was old style there. Cleaned his bathroom (it was in desperate need - again. However last year when I cleaned it I removed fifteen full bin bags and this time it was only in need of actual cleaning stuff off). I had a swipe over some of his surfaces in the kitchen as well, but didn't get very far. Brought home three binsacks of textiles that he couldn't throw out. I will check through, donate/keep/clean/pass to next door for rags as appropriate.

    Had takeaway for tea again :(

    hugs again

    Just looking at Sybil's siggy line - I'm known to be a bit of a dragon (Mr LW lovingly calls me his Rottweiler) and I'm poorly sick today - the headache I've had for a week transformed itself into a migraine, complete with little orange zig-zaggy lights all across my field of vision, the whole nine yards!:( Thankfully, Mr LW has stepped up to the plate and seen to Sidny's needs for me.:A
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)
