Half an hour for me:j
HH in room of doom :eek:
Store cupboard check. Now thats a good idea :T

Late posting today. Didn't get much done today as kids were off school. Eldests high school was shut. E roads were gridlocked so didn't attempt to get middle child to school. Am upset though as also meantcouldntget to youngest carol concert. I live outside the area for all my children's schools.
Suspect a few of you live near me. I'm just outside Sarfend. Innit.

Lamewolf, hope you are ok. A late happy birthday to your wonderful OH x

Honey bear, glad the dog is getting better.

Tomorrow am busy. Have speech therapy 1st thing for the toddler. He was referred back in May fgs. He can talk but I think he's about a year behind. Since he started nursery in sept, he's got a lot better. He does say sentences now. Like "thank you a chocolate a peppa pig" (he has a peppa pig advent calendar!)

Then I needto go t b&q and return s e lights that have already failed.

I also need to go to town for some more Xmas stuff. And more importantly, to bank my money box savings from this year.

I will hopefully find some time for flying tomorrow. But room if doom scares me as this means e children's bedrooms! :eek: toddlers room is ok but dds and ds rooms really are rooms if doom!

Night night all

Mrs Mortenharket - just round the coast from you in the behind end of Clacton :D:D

Dusty Room of Doom - :eek::eek::eek: this means the study, but darn it I am at hospital tomorrow for most of the day - oh well, I suppose I can take a nail file with me to hospital and have my half hour me time while waiting to be seen- that is 50% of level 1 I can get done :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

retrieved my blood monitor from the airing cupboard from it's unfortunate spin in the WM - when I tried yesterday it was a no go- but as the airing cupboard has been mostly empty as I have had a clean washing mountain in the utility, but tonight I wanted to get the mountain into a mole hill or a pimple - I succeeded in making a pimple . Once all the towels were neatly folded and ready to go back on the shelves, I tentatively put the battery back in and it looked like it was working,- (must have been all that nice warm air having room to circulate properly) I programmed the time in and voila! all my readings are still safely stored in there :eek::T:eek::T:eek::T so at least I can show the midwife and the diabetic head honcho my averages over the last month in the morning

I'm not planning to be up all night (again) but still haven't been able to sleep so will try to tick a few things off my list. Hope everyone's flying went well today and we all (by and large) managed to stay relatively safe on the snow. There doesn't seem to be any in Leeds yet, which is good as I'm accident prone at the best of times!

Went to see my new little niece today, and also spent much of the afternoon sorting out my other sister's latest housing crisis (this is an ongoing project it seems :eek:), so didn't get as much done as I'd like... but still a fair amount. Also bought a new winter duvet and pillows as ours have gone all mildewy in the damp flat

Have signed myself up for a dinner party (at mine) next week, with one of my most 'perfect' friends, who I know will be looking out for any sign of me not coping particularly well... Looks like this week is going to be an epic one for tidying :rotfl:Will be nice to go back to work next week as well with it all looking lovely, although I do kind of resent using my holidays to tidy when OH uses his holidays for fun!

Update remaining present lists - Have done shockingly little :eek::o:eek::o Also appear to have spent almost all of my vouchers already on things we *needed* for around the house, i.e. new vacuum... looks like December / January could be tight, but I guess they are for lots of people.
