    My ds1 used to mop the floor in our last house every week. That was before I had two kids and just gave up mopping!

    I gave up too but mainly because DH and puppylove were running a contest to destroy every mop and bucket I bought.
    Doing prayers at church today. Sounds terrible but it feels like a task too far.

    SHS, I'm sure thats not about the prayers themselves - maybe about the scheduling, and the amount of commitments you have?

    I hope it goes well, anyway, and then its done xxx

    Thanks KC.
    I am just completely overscheduled as you say.
    It did go well and it was lovely to see everyone. DD1 wants to learn to ring bells now.

    That's a result! Bellringing seems magical, I must say :)

    I would love hearing church bells and often fancy finding out how to get involved with it, then I remember how I can't fit everything in as it is. Maybe when I retire?

    Am I the only one who thinks it must be darned noisy??? Tho I guess hand bellringing as opposed to church bellringing is more musical...?
