WIP

Look what I have done.

What a mess - should be better later or maybe tomorrow or the day after.  I can't believe I have so much stuff I really should get busy making - maybe I will get my mojo back when its a bit tidier.  I am doing well no tears yet still laughing going to get dressed now and take Belle for a hair dye and nail polish - a treat for her helping me out.  Then I am going to be back at it.  Even Dyl has had a spring clean he has been showered on the back garden by his Dad so now he is looking and smelling a little fresher.

A Bee in my Bonnet and Ants in my Pants

Yuk the ants are here.  I am lover of all things great and small but I do not like ants.  Not in my house anyhow.  I can happily live with spiders and bees.  I can tolerate wasps and to a certain extent flies but I don't do ants.  They are appearing in my Back Room (the family room/dumping ground) and I can stand it no longer.  I have only seen about 10 but that's 10 too many.  I have therefore decided that today is the DAY.  The big clean up day because I have had a bee in my bonnet about this messy room for some time.  It is mostly my crafty stuff making the mess so I have decided to have a big clean up and clean out.  K doesn't know yet he has gone off to the dry cleaners with his work suits - he will be delighted - erm not I do get grumpy when cleaning - well BIG cleaning.  I have thrown open the patio doors and am about to get stuck in.  Do you want to see my BIG MESS.  Hold your breath its nasty.

From the outside looking in = oh deary me

my craft desk - muck pit

My bits and bobs - can you see the vintage muller light pot - did you know they are now collectable

My best friend Elna who actually deserves her very own post - one day 

I am hoping that later today I will be able to do a TaDah a great big TaDah and that it will all look spiffing.  I will be able to say Ants be Gone and they will all trot out of the door and all the mucky nooks and crannys will be clean and sparkling.  More like I will be in a heap in my PJ's sniffling and snotty and K will be saying 'I told you so - a BIG clean always ends in tears. Wish me luck. Hopefully my the end of today it will all be Merry and Bright.

Today

Today I have been to work AGAIN different place though - I had a really good day - did sticking and gluing and sick bucket duty today - ah variety is the spice of life.  Going again on Friday I enjoyed it so much. 

Today I spoke to my Little SisterJ (LSJ) on the phone.  Yesterday she text and said she had read the blog and she had left a comment which made me laugh.  LSJ said she had found out more info from the blog than she knew before - that's possibly not true as there are some things I share with her that I couldn't share with you.  She wasn't even cross that I had told you all that she was 40.  Haha.  She did say that she had never ever ever looked at a blog before and now she has had a peek at quite a few.  She was also AMAZED that I am NOT the only person in the world who roots around car boots and charity shops for vintage stuff.  Imagine that she really thought I was one of a kind - it was so funny- and she has now even forgiven me for making her wait in the car whilst I foraged for old ladies tablecloths in the Charity Shop.  I did of course invite her into said charity shop for a root around but she very poltely declined. which is good -one less person to compete with for the vintage stuff LOL.

Big SisterG (BSG) commented on one post saying what you been doing you haven't posted -pressure or what! So here you are BSG two post in one night albeit one without a photo.

Talking of photo's I know I said I would post the mucky corners of my home well on Saturday I wondered around the front room taking photos of the corners and the piles and the shoe rack in the hall.  K asked what I was doing and I told him I was doing it for the blog - WHAT he exclaimed you are putting it on the internet for all to see.  Yeah I replied - it's to motivate ME - you know photo of it messy then photo when I have tidied it up - good motivation I thought.  Hrumph was the reply - I didn't post the photos but guess what I tidied one corner and K did all the hall, paired up shoes, put away shoes, swept floor, hoovered, mopped, put rug in WASHER and it looked marvelous so ladies and gents a top tip - take photos of your mucky corners - and your other half might tidy it up.  GREAT SUCCESS in my book.  I must tell you all though that K is very domesticated and it is not unusual for him to clean, wash, iron etc and when I was working full time we did have half shares in domestic duties so I don't want you to think that he doesn't do owt on the domestic front because he does just not as much now I am a stay at home mum.
