    Hiya everybody I've been missing a little while suffering BD:( Yesterday it started to lift and today I've found my GUAG. It's our (DH and I) 27th wedding anniversary today and I've had the best present ever- he's been out all day:) I've throughly enjoyed my day, gobbled down a whole frog that was my kitchen floor - industrial stripping fluid followed by rinse rinse rinsing then finally three layers of polish- last one is almost dry. It's taken alllll day but looks fab:) Inbetween waiting for the next installment of the floor saga I sorted my christmas present stash I'm really quite pleased with myself:)
    Looking forward to a new week and catching up on everybody's news.
    Love and hugs x

    I'm in until Friday - thank you for the lists, dusty.

    Juliejim - how long will you be staying in Mablethorpe for? I believe that we'll be just down the road from you, but we're not setting off until next Saturday morning.

    Make a list of everything I need to remember before we go away next weekend.

    When I just dropped DH off at the club he asked what we're going to do on Thursday and suggested a day out - two days before our holiday and with the house still pretty much in CHAOS! I don't often swear, but I'm sorely tempted!

    Thanks Dusty for this weeks list and JJ for last weeks :]]

    I am in the middle of giving the Oven a thoroughly good clean and I've told it not to get so dirty again. I even took the door off and sorted the dust bunnies out that had gathered for a social yack in the corner !!

    DS has come out in hives for no apparent reason, he's covered on his tum, back, armpits and groin, bathed him [no soap] gave him piriton and they have gone down a little bit, he stayed up 30mins after his bed and now DD who is 12 is bleating on about how unfair it is that he got to stay up and she doesn't, OMG, kids!!!

    Off to rescue the kitchen floor now as the oven gunk has spread all over it, coffee needed too before I deal with DD
