    Right - quick list update, and i know not as much as what is on there, but i am going to go through some of the school stuff now while hotel babylon is on, and i am remembering that every job done is another thing achieved.

    Wedding cakes - mine was in the shape of a jigsaw piece - it had 3 tiers (2 fruit, one chocolate) white icing with smaller burgundy jigsaw pieces on it, then instead of a bride/groom, we had 2 interlinked jigsaw pieces. (The theme came because the invites had on this motif, and said '2 who were meant to be 1') I loved my cake. It was nice to have something different but not too freakily different IYKWIM.

    Quick question - OK I am trying to be super organised and set up the lists on my tasks thingy on outlook. That's fine I know what I am doing with that.

    However I have a question really. You know tomorrow we are on Master Bedroom and under extras we have 33 fling boogie time, does it have to be from that room or can that be a general house one? Thing is I am so on top of stuff now that I don't necessarily have much to declutter in one room but could go round the house. Or am I being just too anal about it all lol
