Hi,everyone, have been lurking all day but didnt post any lists JKS, am very sorry to hear of your burglary

Had to attend a funeral today so have been cleaning before and after. Have spent since half 4 cleaning my room, DD1s room and Ds room, i am in at the amount I have got done. DD1s bed is now covered in piles of clothes. Am going to take the Ironing Board up tomorrow and go through the piles and put them away as I am doing it . Thats the plan anyway. Hope everyone had a good day!
