I tend to bin most of the cards I get, but keep ones from very close family or for very special occasions. I have a small box where I store them in. Every few years I sort it out so that it isn't full - I should probably sort it out now, as I'm sure I'll have a few baby ones to add soon! My Mum has recently done me a "favour" by passing all the baby cards and gifts she got when I was a baby over to me as part of her great declutter... luckily she had decluttered most of them already, but I'm not sure why she thought I'd like them! xx

Ok daft question time:-

How do 'they' work out the Tog value for a duvet?

I know 15 tog is high than 10 tog or 8 tog, but how do they test for tog value and such like?

Work done
Washing up done
OH chatted to!!

Shattered. Just got home from work. Too tired for flying so just sticking to the basics and not making any more mess.

Wife's home so she's cooking tea

Had an email today from V1rgin, telling me they are getting rid of the email address I've had with them for years. So I have 30 days to find a new one and try and remember to update all my different info everywhere!

I like both these suggestions, especially having only one *small* box

Very proud of myself. Despite being really tired I have hoovered everywhere (even if it was kind of middle of the floor type hoovering), cleaned the kitchen worktops, washed the floor, bleached the bin and dusted a few surfaces. Oh and its bin day tomorrow so I have chucked a few things that were lurking around. I wouldnt have done this without your motivation so thank you all!

I made an apple crumble from our own apples and it was lovely. Off to tidy up the kitchen (again) now then get my pjs on I think.

TY for comments.

Karma fairy is helping ME anyway...I have a day's supply booked and two upcoming INSET days which I am supposed to be getting paid for *kerching*

Piggers - hope the suspicions turn out to be unfounded or that it's early enough for a cure

I have removed a box od gibble from work, binned some carp out of it and washed the box (it is my own, plastic, with a lid) so we can put DS's kitchen bits in. They're all washed too, then they don't have to be washed when we get there;) I just need to wash his crockery, now.

KH is giving DS £20 per month so that's something...DS asked him directly.

I had another weep today; our clerk (AnWsmum, you DO know her IRL:)) has a daughter who has just gone to Manchester and I fessed up to crying at the weekend and we both had another weep.

LOL

The child has, on occasion, driven me mad. Yet I will miss him! Go figure!

Hmmm - well Dh has decided that we're decorating the living room, so we've been sorting things in there ( a box of toys has gone, and a huge pile of books) and we've been painting up diff colours of paint - and we can't agree. He has, however, sanded back most of the fireplace today, will finish it tomorrow and then I can seal it Today we also moved the (vvvv heavy) bookcase from the living room to DS2's room - which meant emptying DS2's bookcase and moving his bed and taking down the curtains.... DS2's bookcase then went into DS3's room - so DS3's current shelves had to be emptied and have gone into garage and I'll attempt to sell them Shelves in DS2s and DS3's rooms now refilled and look lovely
