    Yep I'm in! I enjoyed last week (yeah I need to get a life too). My first thought when I saw it was bathroom was "oh, i've only just done that" but then I thought "well I don't need to do some of the bits but I can do other bits in there like wiping down round all the pipes" fun fun fun! Also I reckon I will also make a bit of a start on the kitchen cos I'm not cooking tomorrow! Husband out, kids eating leftovers and friend coming over for a takeaway and possibly a girly film. Looking forward to it,.

    Ok, it's taken me two pages to stop wondering why you are all talking about doing the bathroom and I was doing the bedroom. I'm sure it said bedroom when I read it the first time! Honest!

    6 new shelves up in DSs bedroom so all his robots and transformers are looking fab instead of taking up floor space. He's just got into the match attax cards so he now has room to put them all over the floor and look at them. Does anyone know where I can find individual cards apart from on ebay?

    This house is a tip, why? because DH has been here for two days. What will it be like when he stops working abroad? Scary thought.
  • brill place to start - i planned to do the bathroom over the weekend but had not got round to it, so will do something in there after washing my hair tonight.

    Hello girls and any boys who may be lurking :beer:

    All the downstairs has been done, it feels good when it's done.

    Can anyone tell me if they have a tumble dryer if they cost a lot of money? I'm interested in the White Knight 447wv, Indesit IS60 or the Hotpoint VTDOO. Does anyone have any of those who could give me advice please?
