Room of Doom looking a lot less as though a pile of gibble has exploded, and a lot more like an office. Some of it's been dusted, too.Better is good enough.0

Love your lists and can only hope that you don't have the same reason for 'bottoming' each room that I had. We had a very unwelcome little furry animal visit from the garden. The house has never been so clean nor had as many mousetraps dotted around. What a wake up call.0

I was so over-excited that the RoD had been given a thorough sort out that I completely forgot to deal with the (Christmas) mincemeat I made yesterday. I will be jarring it at midnight at this rate.Better is good enough.0

A mixture of good news and some upset today. Needless to say I'm now scrubbing my home within an inch of its life due to an ill timed, upsetting remark about my house from someone I love.
To me it's clean-ish, tidy and my kids are happy. That's good enough for me usually but this remark has really got to me.
I am in for the Christmas card swap please
I finished work three hours ago and my shoes are still on. Having a beer and some crisps, which may well be my dinner0
