Tinsel.. congratulations.. tentative ones but hopefully all will go well!

That's it.. I've had enough.. I'll have everyone in bed in about 15 mintues.. I really hoped to have them up a bit later so they'd sleep in a bit in themorning.. but that isn't going to happen.. Tiddles is being a hag.. DS3 is being a total !!!!!! and DS2 is just being 'special'.. and I've had ENOUGH!!!

Rach - can I be another one to add my Best Wishes! The photos are gorgeous and you look so beautiful and happy! Congratulations!!!

pigpen

Kaz.. you don't HAVE to do it all.. but just think how wonderful it will look if you do!!! The only thing that has been added is the porch really (it replaced water and wipe plants!).. and that was requested.. and mines foul!.. I have swept it 3 times since we lived here.. *shame* .. and I never swept it.. I vacuumed it!! lol..

I'm going to try really hard to join in this week. I'm at work on Thursday and Friday but I'm going to try and get going for the first three days of the week at least!!

Tonight I'm trying to get all of the washing and ironing up-to-date so I'm starting with a clean slate tomorrow!!

Wish me luck!

Amanda

Congratulations tinselfairy - everything crossed for you.

serena

rach - you look absolutely radiant! Wishing you both every happiness.

poohbear - very best wishes for your treatment this week

tinselfairy - lovely to have you back, and what fantastic news, everything crossed for you!:j

pigpen - get all that done by Friday will you?? :DI must do a similar 'project management' list for all the things I need to get finished in the house, and sort out some order of priority.

I managed an hour in the garden. I was intending just to potter, but ended up preening the shady border. It's lovely to see the primulas all in bud

hex2 - you have a lot of winter flowering and scented plants! Lovely - do you have any sarcococcas? My absolute favourite at the moment is Coronilla glauca valentina 'Citrina'. It does need a warm spot, and not terribly good soil, but flowers all the way through from September to April, scented pale yellow pea flowers. At the moment there are almost so many flowers I can't see the leaves.I also have Pulmonaria Blue Ensign in flower. Although it is in a dryish border, it does very well.

I've cancelled my 'available' for work for tomorrow, so I can shift this cold, and so I shall be doing some flying, but not necessarily the living room.

Welcome Amanda!

Serena.. it is our 'easter project' we have one every year.. last year it was the bathroom/boys room and the year before it was the kitchen!.. this year the girls room is being attacked!

And to make matters worse.. hubby's 'demolition' work means there is thick black soot and dust and rubble everywhere.. from the top to the bottom of the house and black hand marks on the walls all the way down the stairs.. I even have soot particles on the keyboard.. I may feel compelled to kill hubby or just cry.. takeaway for dinner tonight.. and then I'm ringing my mother and going to pub.. without HIM... ggrrrr.... he can stay home with a microfibre cloth and some stardrops in a bucket..

Evening all,

I am in again although house is soooo tidy I feel as though it should belong to someone else, a friend popped by today and mentioned that maybe I should be selling my house all the time just to keep it tidy;) I normally can have a couple of rooms spotless but the whole house is not normal

Rach - thank you for sharing your photos your look lovely and yes as allready has been said very brave to risk the beach at this time of year.

Tinsel great to see you back on board, fingers crossed for your new lil girl fantastic news.

Dusty you were asking about ebid on the last thread, thought I'd pull the discussion over here...ebid is a UK auction site run along very similar lines to ebay but with NO FEES AT ALL there are different levels of fees depending on which 'level' of membership you take out BUT the most you will pay for final value is 3%.

The list of fees is here it doesn't have the traffic of ebay but is growing. Thing that put me off initially was how to get a listing live, can't remember all the in's and outs but I shall be having another look
