Hi everyone:
So many hugs needed round here.
Ionafan thanks for asking:
The cellar:
Three lots of 'no longer required' baby clothes sorted into piles for the next recipients of them (just need to bing them all through the wm)
A car full of stuff to the top
A number of items posted
On a local mum's fb group and some things claimed already.
All this means the main part
Of the cellar is in a much better state, just need to do the top of the stairs, stairs
And the area under the downstairs hallway, which sounds a lot, but actually isn't.
Hubby then declared we were meeting a friend 45 minutes later, so I had to dash to the tip then into the shower, hopefully I'll get some more time tomorrow afternoon or Thursday.
Have a lovely evening everyone.

Even though you don't do them, ((hugs)) Piggers.
Kitchen tidied, wiped and swept, stinky bin emptied, soda dropped down the plughole. MAD half hour was to sew up the hem of a pair of trousers that had been lurking on a kitchen chair. Done now, so why didn't I do it before? I now need to plan some dinners for the rest of the week using the contents of the fridge. One bag of bits has left the house for the cs, one decrepit shower door has left for the tip.0 -
Hi, May I join you please? I need a kick up the behind to get back on track and get my home in order.I have been here before but it is a while since I was last on MSE. I have been watching some old 'Call the cleaners' programmes on youtube which has given me the inspiration to come back 'home'.0

Piggers, sorry to hear your very sad news, and I know too you don't do hugs but please have a virtual huge (((hug))) from me.0

I'm on a roll. WM x1 done and blowing nicely on the line, bed changed and remade, and the ironing pile is no more. I think I might have peaked too early...:rotfl:
