that's the state of our skirting boards apparantly, the mushrooms were a big clue, but the man from Rentokil has confirmed it. Expensive times ahead I fear.
Still, we have some lovely new Ikea furniture, so our CDs are now safely away in a cabinet rather than in the (admittedly aesthetically pleasing) colour co-ordinated spectrum across the mantelpiece. In putting our DVDs and videos in the other cabinet we managed to throw away 2 bin bags worth of videos that we have had for years and never got around to watching. I really ought to continue in this vein for as long as possible, we have an awful lot of junk in this house.
Last week was spent visiting Soo and the bamphires. They're fine, R and D are growing up fast, D was 3 on Friday, and R starts full days at school next week.
Hmm, really I should visit the charity shop with a couple of bags of stuff that was too good to throw. I'm more used to leaving charity shops with bundles of stuff in my arms, not actually leaving stuff there. It seems to me that there are the type of people that give to charity shops and the type of people that buy from charity shops, and then there's people like me who reach critical mass and have no other choice but to change tactic. Mercifully, it all helps.
