Thank you they are sending a replacement but had to fight my corner as they were just going to refund. Had to a little bridezilla by proxy :rotfl:

CloakroomDone! Missed this on Tuesday for some reason.
DS1's room Half done. I've decided to try a deeper clean while he's away.

Very successful shopping trip in town; as well as thermos flask, and pillow protectors, I also bought some clothes suitable for exercising in for not very much money.

I have also turned out all the bedlinen in the airing cupboard, sorted it into sets, and put each set in the pillow case. Then, removed several sets to go to charity shop. I think there's another set or two lurking with the sleeping bags used by DS2's friends when they sleep over.

There's something very cathartic about pruning a stuffed filing cabinet. *space*

De cluttered 1800ish words, hoovered and moped downstairs, ran some errands, been to work, lost 1lb....job done and I'm putting my pjs on drinking wine and having takeaway later :beer:

Hope everyone has a good weekend x

Ooopps seem to have over done the me time and not much else.
Pilates done
Food shops done (including nice little Mr L skirt for £2.49 which is short and stretchy, so perfect to wear under things like those expensive japanese tummy warmers).
Hoover downstairs
Chatted to Mum on the phone, her op is sheduled for next Tuesday with 48 hours in IT planned
Sis popped in for a cuppa and kitten cuddle, decluttered a couple of charity things for her to drop off (she works at a hospice)
Planted some bulbs I bought really cheap before Christmas
Cut up some branches from christmas outside decorations

Off to collect DS1 and then on to dinner cooking.

Well my plans for admin went out the window when I decided to hang my dreamcatcher in my bedroom window and had to make a loomband bracelet to hang it from as the hook was too high up I just finished that, when my gas man turned up to look at the boiler as he was sure the part he'd ordered which was changed by someone else was wrong and it was. He was here for an hour on the phone trying to get the right things ordered. Then when he left I was so hot and DD was on her way home, I decided to stand on the step and watch the workmen next door filling skip number 7 while I had a coffee until she got home. Had a bit of a chin wag with a couple of them about the state of the place, then they went off as they're finished for the week and will be back Monday as the place is in a worse then the council thought (25+ years of hoarding, no gas, no electric, no water for goodness knows how long! :eek::eek:Didn't realise it was that bad).

Anyways, I've not achieved as much as I hoped, but I'm not worried as the place is clean and tidy. DD and I are going to have a lazy evening watching TV and eating pitta pizzas

Sat: No Ex, Town
Sun: Ex here, money to DD.
