    Thank you !! Can I just say how I admire your courage AnW'sMum? along with your ability to take part in banter and humour that must have a painful edge for you. I haven't been reading this thread for all that long so I don't know a lot about your history, but from what I have read I do know that you must be one of the nicest, warm hearted, thoughtful and courageous ladies I have ever come across.

    I have a transaction for hilarys blinds for £20, payment date is Feb, I should get it next week then?

    Reason I ask is hubby has spotted a hut in wilkos, and I said I'd donate my Quidco earnings to 'The Cause'. He has to get slabs and a hut before he can get his quad bike you see, which he hopes to get for the summer.

    I wonder what stuff he has that we can sell on Ebay and the ad trader to get him some cash....

    Just starting on the dinning room though feel ready for bed !!! Might tyreat myself to a brew and slice of HM Bakewell in a min !!!

    Can someone let me know what rooms it is tomorrow then I can plan which room I am going to "deep clean" and which room I am going basic on !!!

    Hubby is in for a shock when he gets home tonight and sees the kitchen !!! Even more of a shock when he sees the mess in the living room which I haven't tidied due to the kids being home and deep cleaning the kitchen - lol

    Computer desk is in the dinning room and this is a major hot spot so going to get on with that too.

    The only thing keeping me going is the thought of living in a palace like the rest of you . . . . lol . . . .

    We have known her a bit longer and we all know that to be true.. but we try not to tell her too often she gets all unnecessary at times..

    But she is having my hubby prodding sharp stick so when she next meets him she can give him a right good telling off!

    Hey guys,
    Hope you are all OK.
    I've been out visiting my friend since 10:30 this morning but I've managed to:
    Clean oven
    Wipe down cupboard fronts
    load in WM
    load in TD
    clean DW
    wipe down counter tops

    fold some clothes.

    I'll have to check the list and see what else I have to do. I'm not sure what else I'll manage today, but will carry it over....catch you all laters...
