    Bathroom done, just need to take the last mirror, the shower rail and the loo roll holder down before the weekend. It will get the usual daily S&S till then.
    Got a load in the wm so will tackle my floordrobe now hoping to have that done by 1pm unless I get badly distracted.

    It looks like Pigger's PPr has been lifted; but she is now no longer in the Facebook group either, so maybe real life is taking up all her time atm.

    If you do look in - you ARE missed! Hope things are going well and other things are settling down IYSWIM.

    I have done a maidenful of ironing, taken recycling out and assured neighbour that I am not bothered about the bumper - nice of him to 'fess up, though! I have pegged out a load and emptied DW and done some washing up.

    Thank you Honey Bear
  • Afternoon all,

    Just popping in to say hello as I haven't been around for the last few days, just mad busy!

    So thanks for last week Valli, and thanks Natty for this week (all this chicken talk is making me want to get some chickens again).

    Welcome to the many new people and returners, lovely to see you xx

    Hugs and condolences to atb xx

    And finally, I second Valli in missing piggers.

    Oh, by the way, flew yesterday as we had company for tea and the house was a tip. I'm currently on my lunch at paid stuff, no chance of flying later, as I'm heading to mum and dads straight after work (and staying over) as they are have the children tomorrow.

    And finally, biscuitdog won second prize at the village gala on Saturday for best trick! Even better, the prize was chocolates (human ones).
  • Can I join please? I have no motivation and my house is a tip.. I am aming for a level one today with the addition of clean the hob as Bolognese is on the agenda for tonight
