    Morning all.

    Decided to leave my pjs on today so I don't end up getting cleaner on my jeans again :o I'm starting in the livingroom clearing all my work stuff away if anyone wants to join me for a HHC. Time to crank up the music and get flapping! :wave:

    Wendy, well done on your attic work.

    Honeybear, yes he is cricket mad. We have been to 20/20 at Lords and will go again this summer for sure but I wonder if there is a tour of the dressing rooms etc that you can do out of season and he still needs cricket pictures for his decorated room so I can look at those too. Thanks. He is reading a book by Stuart Broad atm which was a Christmas present so I could see if there is another book too.

    About to put the washing on the line and then Room of Doom for me too.

    Can't do the linky thing Dusty, but yes, there is ....

    Dog walked, kitchen tidied, and RoD about to be tacked. The stuff you put up last week Dusty about the bedroom spring clean will be depoloyed in there. Major tidy today, putting stuff away first, then degibbling in drawers and cupboards followed by deep cleaning. It'll be interesting to see how many days it takes.
    Better is good enough.

    Morning!

    DS decluttered to school and we've been up to town to B&M and to collect a parcel. Now how with a DVD and the fire on :o I think both DD and I are in a grouch. Disturbed night.

    Today I'm baking, ironing, and putting stuff in its rightful home...

    And maybe a snooze if DD is up for it...

    Well I'm back but didn't do what I set out to do :o

    Bedrooms are now tidy, post dealt with, I've cleared a massive patch of crystalised condensation/mildew from behind DD's bed again, sorted washing out, found/put a blanket to put over the foot of my bed as I've been waking up with cold feet again, tidied up DDs desk which had a magazine file-box overflowing with papers. Funny how when I unfolded said papers and put them in a folder which is still in the file-box there was loads of room for her to shove more in *rolls eyes*

    Now I'm going to tackle my work stuff. Its just sitting here taking up room and making the place look untidy when it could be tucked away in the cupboard where its supposed to be. This happens every order week, I always end up clearing up the next day :o There's a habit for me to break to add to my list....

    *wanders off*

    Blood donors -- do you feel tired after giving blood? I donated last Friday and have been exhausted all week, every morning I have woken up feeling so tired I could cry :( I have only given blood three times and can't say I felt like this after the first two but it's the only reason I can think of. I don't feel unwell, just shattered.

    Looking for my GUAG as we speak, the LR could do with some attention but as we are expecting 5 children from 6pm onwards there's a big bit of me wondering if there's any point. Poor excuse, I know :o

    Fizz have you had AF directly after donating? Do they still test your iron level before you give (I haven't been for years and keep saying I'll get back into it).

    Honeybear I am doing the same, I've almost done the tidying, hoovering as I go under and behind things. Going to move onto the desk now (I still have the wardrobe to do in our room, did remove 2 jumpers today which I have not worn this year, tried them on and they are going)
