I flap my hands and pretend to help when I feel guilty!<br />Ugh, I really should consider a shopping ban, but I'm hopeless! Bought two new forcks on the weekend which I do not need at all. Feck it. I have some wonderful old failthfulls, but I get so bored with them! Both of these frocks and the jewellery with the first especially, rock my world! Yeah, who wants to do the predictable matchy thing?! O, hang on, I do!!! Bleurgh! Well colour me orange! I bet Leisa loved this post, the little green freak!<br />Love YOU!

I should know, I've seen one in real life. <br /><br />I'm a bit of neither and a bit of both. Don't really do much DUSTING but I do like my house as clean and tidy as I can manage, but it is hard. Since moving in with him indoors I do twice as much cleaning and it's always only half as tidy as before. Sigh. It must be a nightmare with four of them undoing all the hard work.<br /><br />Gawd my blog. I just don't know what to do. I got a response but it sends me round and round in circles with no results.

The mess is other peeps' FAULT. When The Teen was on the bone marrow transplant unit, it took me months to sort out our house on the days Dear Hubby took the shift. I nearly went into coronary arrest over the room the teen girls share. I had been afraid to go in for, um, at least a year pre-hospitalization, and it turned out for good reason. I don't love house-cleaning either, but I do like the house to be peaceful and welcoming. I just wish someone else would make it that way lol.The Goodwill Fangirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05845712888337339929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-59028925375480957042014-01-18T10:26:16.014-08:002014-01-18T10:26:16.014-08:00green fabulousness!, love both cardis and both out...green fabulousness!, love both cardis and both outfits, and love your bijouterie, necklaces and pretty bangles!, you're gorgeous!<br />I usually vacuum my little flat once a week, and I think it's enough!, but I never consider myself as a tidy person, I'm a mess most of the time and never cared about it!<br />besosSeƱora Allnuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01403540346998939207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-38324942870251636972014-01-18T01:24:58.880-08:002014-01-18T01:24:58.880-08:00Green perfection!Green perfection!Ulla-Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15583954716357906569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-14631574054507628662014-01-18T00:48:48.887-08:002014-01-18T00:48:48.887-08:00You are gorgeous in both glorious frocks.

Is that weird to notice? Your nails are perfect and your hands are just beautiful. <br /><br />So long as my kitchen is clean, I could not care less what the rest of my house is like. I have dirty washing that sits in the basket for six months (obvs not my vintage treasures) and I have dust and hairballs galore... well, I did until I found the best boyfriend in the world, who cleans, shops and does the washing like nobody's business. Please feel free to envy (hate) me. I know how lucky I am.<br /><br />You are bloody gorgeous. <br /><br />Love, SS xxxx<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235255775524330362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8489237810886177584.post-28894522607186761012014-01-17T14:50:01.897-08:002014-01-17T14:50:01.897-08:00First of all, you look amazing in green, any shade...First of all, you look amazing in green, any shade!!! I love it myself.<br /><br />Housework? Ugh. That card, as amusing (?) as it is, expresses a true-ish sentiment I think. I let it go forever, then go into a tizzy with cleaning and organizing everything. It stays lovely for awhile, only to repeat the pattern. I'm much happier when it looks nice but I do hate taking the time. I'd much rather be doing other things (some of which coincidentally makes messes, like sewing!)<br /><br />Love you!!! Hope you enjoy your weekend.

If I'm fixing and painting and mowing the lawn I cannot clean and wash up and cook. And cleaning sucks. My husband is OCD with hoovering so we do ok between us. Totally get what you mean about the kids and husband! Same here. I visit my childless friend and it's so immaculate at her place.
