    Valli that's really nice that you share your birthday with Bean. His original due date was my late Grandfather's birthday (28th September). :)

    kazwookie I hope you get your conjunctivitis sorted out.


    Well I've luckily managed to get one load of washing fully washed, but was just starting to clean down my cupboards in the kitchen, went to turn on the hot water, and the water has been turned off again. I will be glad when these waterworks are finished. Also looked out of my window to see that the holes in front of my driveway have been opened up again, which means I can't drive off my drive again either. Looks like I'm housebound again. Will have to do the hoovering and glass cleaning jobs I guess as they don't require any water.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Bathroom floor mopped in spectacular fashion as I heard running water, and discovered that the destructive toddler had turned on the bathroom taps upstairs whilst the water was turned off, and turned the faucet back-to-front, so the floor, the landing and everything in the bathroom was soaked! Got trusty George (Henry's brother who is a wet and dry vacuum cleaner) out of the garage to clear up the mess, came downstairs to find Satan had sprayed glass cleaner all over the downstairs floors whilst I'd been tidying up upstairs. :(

  • Yeah, nothing was completed yesterday; neither was in the mood.
    Will attempt level one and two today, as we've had some furniture removed so I can see some corners that I couldn't before.

    Bogger all done today but had a lovely day in Lincoln with DD. The only thing I decluttered was my Christmas money on a jacket in JW that I had seen online and was pondering whether to get. When there’s one left in your size it just has to be. Treated DD to a dress that she wanted to for Christmas but didn’t as I thought it was too expensive then. Happy day.
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!
