soappie - woah!!! Good luck with that one! (you always seem too organised to have a 'don't open me' cupboard.
Me??? Too organised? Don't you remember it wasn't that long ago I had a whole 'don't open me' front room!
Right, two hours later - all the ironing is done and things are shuffled about a bit more neatly. It'll never be perfect - not even when I get some proper shelving up in there - but at least things are more organised now. I KNEW I had some extra loo rolls somewhere - I found them at the bottom of that lot :rotfl:

I am evil!
DS1 came in minus a shoe and told me that 3 'friends' (
same age-6) stole it off him and threw it away. So out I went, 3 friends had hidden, I found the shoe, but went back out, found them and asked where the shoe is. So 3 boys are now crapping themselves trying to find a shoe before I go and ask their Mum's and Dad's to buy a new pair of sketchers trainers, that were £30! :rotfl:
That will teach them a lesson!

The ironing pile area: The only things left in the basket are towels because there's no room in the drawer unit in the bathroom for them.

It looks much better Soappie. You don't fancy coming and doing mine next then we can work out if the damp smell is serious?
Thanks for the comments on the garden - it is the front one and was mostly lawn 12 months ago. We need to take the rest of the turf off and finish the other side. I have the plants, the bricks for the edging, just need to make myself do it.......'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
Still here - just not posting too much

Soapie - you are so brave posting pic's
I wouldn't dare - I wouldhave Kim and Aggie banging my door down !!!
Tiami - Glad you found the I-pod, hope you find DS's shoe too !!! Little !!!!!!s when they are that age !!!
Nicki - We are in Manhester so expecting the storm anytime soon !!!
I have had a mad baking and cleaning day here. Most of the boxes are out of the attic now and just need sorting.
Really need to get on top of everything now I am working and training at the shop - I am in Monday PM, Tuesday PM and Friday AM. I also need to call in on Wednesday in case none of the volunteers turn up (again!) so the manager can have a wee break and a brew
Also this week they are coming to do the attic insulation and the wall insulation and on Tuesday we are going on a walk around a local park and then for fish and chips after with my depression group - so a bit of a bad week and a bit of a good week
I thought I would have more time being the House Wife home alone - lol !!!
Off to sort tea and some more boxes

If it means I get to sit in your garden with a glass of chilled white wine and watch the flowers opening, I'll check my diary..........I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
