No visible floor...



Tiny bit of floor visible..



This is a sofa believe it or not!!





And again.. no floor!!

*glow with shame*

But you have 8 kids living at home - and i only have 3 - and my dining room is probably worse....

Thanks for the non-medical advice, guys

Normally at work on a Tuesday there is a fire alarm test, but they announce it on the tannoy first. They didn't today. My heart is still racing from the scare. It went off and back on again and there was a loud bang (which later turned out to be said tannoy exploding, lol) but omg I was shaking!

finding vibes for you vanilla - hope the sweatshirt turns up

pigpen, im guessing some of that is your ebaying pile or just storage issues. its NOT dirty its just full. there is no way i would post a photo of our spare room that is a roomsized hotspot its some of DD3s stuff, my book collection and loads of stuff that just got abandoned in there. theres no wonder my lads dont use the drum kit or the footie table they couldnt get in if they wanted to. now that is

finished the bathroom apart from going through the medicine box, going to buy a new pull cord as the one in ther used to go over the shower rail at some point so frayed through and has a knot in at the top and somehow has another frying part near the middle so its about due a change.

Nope my ebay mountain is in the back room that is the littlies toys, a double pushchair (strategically placed over a pile of cat vomit I just remembered about that.. oops!), Dots birthday present and the massive box of nappies. Plus the storage boxes I bought to sort some of our storage problems.. lol

I have put away the huge boxes of nappies and nothing else.. dragging a helper or 3 in there now!

Hi everyone :wave:

Got up and dressed at 10 past 7 , as I remembered that i hadn't put the bins out, they were both quite full and needed to go out, and my dressing gown is in the wash and I daren't risk nipping out in my nightie.

WM x2

Line broke as I was about to hang out load 2, but I managed to salvage a length and put up a temporary line and get my dressing gown out in the brisk breeze we've had here all day.

Mr T has delivered and I've put away the frozen and chilled stuff - after returning the fish n chips which they sent as a substitute for the liver and onions that I'd ordered :think:

Been online and DS has registered for his second year at Uni :T he's going back next Monday.

Been sorting through some paperwork - filled in 2 doctor's surveys, and written a cheque for Reader's Digest, plus thrown out/recycled some junk mail.

little tiny steps

LW - if you are tired for no apparent reason get yourself to the docs hun. You might be anaemic too

Hugs to bossy and anyone else that needs/wants one.

Greent.. you tell them the truth and you tell them now. They are not as daft as you think. Children are very astute and know a lot more than we give them credit for. (((hugs))) It is hard but necessary sometimes. I hope you are doing ok..
