new year, new promises, to break....

So here we go again, dear Blog, I make another attempt to keep you going.
My excuse for neglecting you, and I'm sticking to it, is that actually I have a lot of other things to do and I won't bore you with the details.
I am now official sock and mitten knitter to 2 princesses, who are very demanding.
In between that I am making changes to my sitting room - why does it take less time to put everything back on shelves than it does to take it off? It seems the more I clear out the more appears - it's breeding in secret places!
I have managed to prise the carpet shampooer back from my offspring so the next task will be to use it - sometime.
