Not a lot is the answer to me own ? 
Although I have this mad urge to go through every drawer and cupboard in the house getting rid of 'stuff' , the trouble is I really do go too far sometimes. Last year I took a fleece of OH's to a local charity shop, it was purple and turquoise
and I had always disliked it. I had tried several times to get rid but he stopped me in my tracks each time admonishing me because he said it was his favourite.
Now, here's the annoying thing...he never used to wear it
each time he would rescue it from the charity bag, stroke it lovingly and put it back in his wardrobe...ratbag!
Anyhoo, this time I managed to complete my mission whilst he was away for a the day, thinking, it will be months before he notices. A week or so later, we were in the local supermarket at the veg aisle and to my utter shock there was a woman wearing the exact same fleece
'That's a nice fleece' OH says to her, 'I've got one like that' 'Have yer luv ' says she, 'where did you get yours from, I got mine from local charity shop, it were only £3'
The look on his face was priceless as the truth dawned and I was already doubled up and having hysterics, the lady had walked away by this point, but all I could think to do was to rush to the loos and lock meself in until I had control of meself again, he still hasn't forgiven me, he brings it up all the time.
So, apart from going through his wardrobe and getting rid of a few other things that offend me, I am also going to be having a chat with a plumber/electrician friend with regards to the work and cost involved in having a baxi boiler and old hot water tank removed. I am feeling restless which is never a good thing, and have got my eye on a little fixer upper project. Kitchen and bathroom refurb plus a bit of decorating is fine, but this little cottage has one of the baxi boiler things, which is a monstrosity.
Temperatures should rise a bit this week, can't wait for the daffs and tulips to start coming up, .
Have a really good week all, xx

it's rammed, I have to remove stuff to find stuff, so not great, I need a storage solution to keep things organised.
), it is just that I am feeling I need a project to keep me busy and give me a structure to my week. OH has taken a temporary part time lecturing post, and I feel like I need to do something more than just swanning around farm shops and coffee shops. I think I could project manage a little cottage, well....I say than now....Sarah Beanie I am definitely not 
as you say, nice to be included but quite a challenge.
hope we are all enjoying a brill weekend, will catch up later xx

storm brewing, must get me cauldron out
