that link won't work rach, just tried it.

Right, have looked at Pigpen's weekend list and some might be good to add for me, especially the freezer one as I need to try to get it down to one freezer by next week so I can get rid of the underbench one, however IRONING is a NO!!!

They look lovely Rach, wish I had the patience for things like that. I buy loads of handmade cards from my friend, I can't resist them once she's made them which means I end up with a (size 12) shoe box full I've packed for moving not decluttering them, they've cost me a fortune, but now they are all in one place I can see what I have before buying more.

Right, I'm off to get the boys ready for bed then going to run myself a bath too, will do my proper list for tomorrow/weekend while the bath is running

Lil_me, no swaps sorry and besides you're getting a dishwasher! I might get some earplugs to stop his endless night time chatter then everyone's happy. Sounds like you've got a busy head, it'll all fall into place and at least you have the luxury of not having to move all in one day. When I remember what turmoil you were in a few weeks ago I'm so pleased you're finally moving. This is constructive stress that was bad stress.
Rach, I'd like to see your invites too. I keep all the wedding invitations I get and the made ones seem much more of a personal invite than the other sort if you see what I mean. As for your numbers - fingers crossed they balance out. Edit to say.. your invites look lovely,I admire your patience to make 130, you'll be dreaming of them if you do too many in one sitting!
Toria, I half thought about posting late last night but that might have seemed cheeky and I can never remember my log on when I'm at work plus I'd had a serious ribbing from my colleagues by then too. I've never been a topic of conversation before!

I'm in PJ's already and having hot chocolate made with cream and marshmallows - all of which I had to nip out to get- and a box of jaffa cakes for dipping. Not going to think about the calories but I can't be bothered to make tea tonight. Yum yum.

The invites look really pretty Rach. I love making cards when I have the time to do them. I made christmas cards for my neighbours a couple of years ago (in the days when I could actually sit at the dining table and there wasn't a router on it), and she really appreciated it. The following year I didn't have a chance to make any so bought one instead, and she asked me if I'd made that one too - felt really embarassed to have to admit that I'd bought it. Must try and make some more this year if I can find all of my glitter glue etc.

Well DH has gone out and kids are in bed - peace and quiet at last.

Now shall I do some more jobs or just sit and chill?

Gosh it takes ages to catch up with everything on this thread so much going on.The craic is fantastic.This was my first week learning to fly and it's been fun! My house is definitely looking a lot better and I dont feel so overwhelmed by seeing so much to be done, the little by little approach is brilliant.My own pickle challenge went well I made preserved pears today, by the way most of these will be given as Xmas pressies.The weekend list is mostly stuff I do anyway but the kitchen cupboards one by one need to be decluttered.I need storage for all my preserves!

Way to go Solway glad last night went to plan - and all that 'talking' keeping you up all night.

The invites look lovely rach - they're going to take you ages though aren't they - have you got anyone who can give you a hand with them - I'm a bit far away else I would!
