    :bdaycake: Happy Birthday Quidsy :bdaycake:

    HAPPY ST GEORGE'S DAY

    I have finished Ds' room :j

    Just mine to go now. :( I'm hoping to do it next Tuesday. The weekend isn't going to work as I will have Fingers Saturday night, and he sleeps in my room.

    I finally feel I am getting there. Well, until I decide to start again. :rotfl:

    Belated birthday wishes Quidsy.

    Posting and running I'm afraid. Have read posts but not had much time to comment except to say - OMO keep those quotes coming they always make me smile.

    Trying to get head around SW - might be easier once I start to see the numbers coming down on scales. Using cross stitch on an evening as a distraction technique - some may find it difficult at multi-tasking (eating and stitching) but I am a woman and we are always brilliant at multi-tasking aren't we? :D


    I picked up double and single quilts the other day Chrissy - haven't opened them but the makes a good one so should be great for winter. Enjoy Cardiff.


    Apparently I have hit a certain age and been invited for bowel screening (sorry I know its early for this topic). Not the sending a sample in the post type - this one is going to hospital and they use a camera :eek: Don't know what to do. DH said it is no different to going for smear or mammogram. I know what he means but it isn't him going. :o

    Have a good day everyone

    Good Morning.

    Not due into work until 11, so I have a couple of hours free this morning. :D

    I have already revamped the downstairs loo. New picture, wall mounted rack, new baskets and bin, and a drawer unit.
    When I say 'new' I mean moved from another room. The picture is new, which is what started the whole thing.
    Dd picked it for her room in Ikea then changed her mind. But her loss is my gain.
    The other things I have used are from my room. Once I get the rails up I would have had no where to display them.

    It is completely different from the rest of the house. Old wood, jute and rusty looking metals.

    Hope everyone has a good day. I must now walk Mia.
  • Just received a reminder to say that I hadn't replied to the invitation for screening - as if I needed a reminder :eek:

    hope everyone is well
    busy this morning went dentist with DS2 for his check up and my tooth that lost its filling to be looked at. (i got another filling put in but he said if this comes out the tooth will need to as well.)
    met DD2 and her little fmily in townm so had a mooch round the museum then the shops then had some lunch and got dropped back home. so lovely day.
    beg, ive not heard of those type of tests before what age do you need to be to get invited to those or is it a regional thing? my mums in her 70s and she only gets the sample in the post type invite. i cant believe you are older than me let alone my mum.

    First one is shelving unit as it was, then others are now i have painted it, the cupboards at the bottom are still waiting for me to paint the doors, so they look scruffy at the moment :) sorry you got two the same, and they are at angles i can never find how to straighten them on photobucket x

    photos look lovely especially the cake and the easter tree.
    your dog is so gorgeous (even from the back view!)
    wish my house was that tidy - the painted units really give it a fresh bright look
