    Morning all

    Another dank day here and my GUAG seems to be hiding. Going to head off to Mr M and Master L in a minute to save me wasting an hour pottering.

    4 hours sleep after 3 the night before is not quite enough! I feel most sick! Dot did actually sleep until half 7.. DD2 set the smoke alarm off at 7am.. so I had to deal with that.

    *yawn!*

    Must fling stuff today!

    I am suffering today Pigpen, after a very very late night or more precise early morning this morning....f@cebook is nothing but trouble!!!

    If you fancy budding up for HH of something, I will join you, just having a cuppa and bowl of porridge as my reward for cleaning the froggy venetian blind in the dining room after DD2 and DD3 went off this morning:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: (DS is still asleep so I am typing very slowly and very quietly:D )
    The cold never bothered me anyway

    Just wanted to pop in and say I am still here. Have been very busy at work and the house is mayhem as we are having major snagging issues (not sure I will buy a new build again) so I haven't felt like cleaning until it is all sorted. We got a new cleaner after not liking the last one but are considering changing to fortnightly as we really don't make enough mess/are not dirty enough for weekly. Will see how that goes and either stick with that or maybe do monthly. Ready to get on the ebay band wagon as I have clawed as much money back as possible from other avenues. I am a very lucky girl as Mr Ajmoney decluttered my car loan for me so we are working on new monthly budgets at the mo, as soon as I have stopped going away I am going to try and join in the grocery challenge.

    Ironing all up to date as of this morning but can't do much more as the workmen are making such a racket upstairs :(

    Catch up with some mending - tonight
