Been awol for a bit, can only seem to manage dailies? Just.
What is this xmas card and secret santa about.

just_the_two_of_us

Hello all - well Wednesday already!! I set off with such good intentions on Monday morning - but have been side -swiped by other things!!
Or should I own up that I decided to do paper for 15 minutes extra first task on Monday and got engrossed!!!

I don't know if anyone else has the same bad habit? but my frog - not just one but like those nature programmes about swamps when the frogs are mating, making one heck of a din and then along come even more froglets !!:rotfl:

Anyway I have managed to declutter two large bags of paper via DH to shred at work - stuff I brought home when I left in September and have only just been able to let go. There is still more but it is sort of contained!

I also needed to find some old but very important papers yesterday - knew I had kept them - but where?!! They turned up but in the process - more mess!

Cleaned new oven twice yesterday - as per instructions and then refused to use it as wouldn't have time to clean after tea as baby-sitting for next door's youngster - so ended up with takeaway!

Hopefully will get back on track today after shopping this am - will report later if I have progress!

mrs-moneypenny

morning all
hugs good wishes and positive vibes where needed
already caught up on the ironing did HHI once DS2 was declutter off to school, going to do a HHexcercise on the wii then grab a shower and do a bit of floorbrobe clearance in the boys rooms.
