ok im back in ,was with you for a while months ago .and "Eventually" my house was wonderful thanks to you lot making it fun ,
when i was fed up . i kept thinking ,yes but the others are doing it , so get moving !!!
But ive fallen off the waggon a bit (OK a lot) Floordrobe is still a daily word used here since i was here last time . so you see i still have you etched in my brain really .
so im back to basics,,,,,,, the kitchen floor is one i always put off as we have to find it first , but today is THE day ,im back . decided as soon as the new Monday thread came out ,im starting ,,,,,,, had planned on moving a hotspot of ironing ,so does that count as 2 things ???

I've got a load of washing out (did it yesterday but it wasn't quite dry) and I've tidied up. I've been through everyones wardrobe and if it's holey, worn through or stained it's "disappeared" (Read : now in the airing cupboard and going to be used to make draftexluders ). No-one will really notice as they all have enough clothes anyway :rolleyes: Next load of washing is in the machine and is nearly done, once thats out I'm off for another walk.

ATM I'm tackling my bookmarks. I need to have a good clear out of my stuff on the computer as I'll be getting the old one set up for me soon So I'm visiting all the sites and if I no longer want them or the link no-longer works it's going...about 15 so far gone :rotfl::rotfl:

Right, need to check on the washing on the line. Should really think of something to have for tea as well so I might go and sort out the freezer to see if I can get the drawers back in :wave:

Afternoon all! Just sat having a cuppa and read through while DS is in bed. Decided today to drop his morning nap so hopefully he'll have a good sleep this afternoon. Todays DH last day off work so walked to park this morning and then called in at Sainsburys on the way back. This is our local supermarket and really need to organise myself so I don't have to keep popping in there as its really expensive (well compared to Aldi!). Did get some more yellow stickered stuff today though as just got there when woman was marking stuff done (bargin - 4 salmon en croutes for £2.10). Builders have sent a roofer, painter and washer man this morning so most of snagging jobs done, just need a new light for ulitily room but its on order.
