Yeah. Soappie says there's is no list for Wednesday. *Pigpen blame her not me*
So I think that I will sit back and do nothing. Hmm doesn't look like I will be sitting outside as the sun seems to have disappeared AGAIN.
DS and DD are at playschool this morning so I will have a couple of hours peace and quiet
Mabboo glad you children slept alright last night. My DS only woke up twice which wasn't too bad. Don't think he is really awake when hew does it sometimes.January Grocery 11/3740 -

I'm kind of cheating as i did most of that list yesterday! Its looking beautiful out there so will take monkey to the park i think. Then need to go to B&Q to get spotlights for the living room and hall.
Really grumpy with Scottish Power, tried to switch suppliers and was told i cant as bl00dy scottish power install meters that no-one else will service and charge extortionate rates for the privelege! Will phone them later to ask them to change their meter so i can switch.
Going to S&S the kitchen and do some washing, its days like these i long for a garden to hang my clothes out. Its perfect drying weather:rolleyes:The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0 -
Just bobbing in to say thank you for putting up the list.
I have officially abandoned any attempt to keep up to the threadIt does make it frustrating, when I read that pigpen only wants to kill three people - which three?
So hugs to all, wish me luck because the sitting room I do today will be where the Health Visitor is sitting tomorrow and DS has definitely woken up the wrong side of the cot.
btw my Health Visitor is really nice and it is a support visit because I am back on antidepressants, for at least a year according to GP... I don't think she'll have a hissy fit at the current state of home, but it's a great incentive to get going. Almost as good as pigpen!Always another chapter0 -

Did a few bits off my list yesterday evening, but DH had his own agenda and spent time on the computer loading up photos to send his parents, and as i wasn't feeling that energetic i didn't argue - it all needs doing at some point so i might as well make the most of him deciding to do it.
ds2 was a star last night, and we went to bed at 10:30, and he slept till 4am, so i think we may be getting there a bit. It is certainly preferable to only get up for one night feed, and also to have our bed to ourselves.
We are not going to bother with playgroup today as both ds1 and nephew were shattered yesterday and arguing all the time. Also ds fell and hit his head at nursery yesterday. So i will let ds play at home this morning, then visit my parents this afternoon. I think i will try and get to the bank finally this morning and sign the paperwork i need to do. Also pop to the shop while we are out.
I'll try and take advantage of having a little more energy while i have it.

Hi Guys
Not had chance to get online much, no idea where time is disappearing to.
I need to get a load of jibs done around here today. So far I have cancelled the old HI policy which was due to renew yesterday, DD cancelled as well so no chance of them taking payment. Got a load of clean washing that needs putting away and a huge ironing pile that will have to stay huge! lol
Sending this from back on pg 8, catching up with you all slowly but surely. Just had to laugh at lil_me's DS being a walking wormery :rotfl:
Right I am away to get some stuff done and will catch up a bit more with a coffee in a wee while. It's a lovely day out there, rain forecast for later so making the most of it now.Official Mascot and Chief Cheerleader for the 'Mortgage Free in Three' Gang0
