    Evening all

    I haven't bothered with my bathroom tonight cos I did it on Sunday, so instead I've finally tackled the dreaded spare room:

    Sorted fabric stash
    Sorted desk drawers
    Dusted & swept
    Filed/shredded lots of paperwork
    3 bags ready for charity shop
    Found trousers I need to alter :o

    Phoned Mum
    Washed up etc
    1 load of washing on line
    Been to work

  • It was bathroom today?

    Really?

    Mostly I have been flying off list this week, but I completely did the bathroom this morning! ALL of it! Without checking the list!

    I must be psychic!

    Loads more washing done, backlog sorted (until I looked at DD2's bedroom floor!!!!!) Lots of ironing done.

    Good news :D I have a new kitty :D We passed the homecheck this afternoon :D

    Her name is Summer, she's 1yr old and we are picking her up at the end of September as we can't have her sooner due to us being away before then. And it won't be fair on her to come here and we disappear...

    Here she is at her foster home...

  • Hi everyone
    Just letting you know that I'm signing off for some time, DH is quite poorly and I can't keep to any routine as he obviously comes first

    I'll come back when he's better and that will hopefully be within the next 2 months

    You'll probably see me on the thread titled "I have no money" lol - visit to CAB and housing office planned for end of Sept Gulp
