Morning all!

Oh joy was my first thought this morning when I got out of bed - I tried to use a fake tan last night just on my legs (which look as white as milk) and it hadn't gone on very well at all Very patchy - I wouldn't mind but I exfoliated before & during my bath, then I mixed the tan stuff with babylotion to thin it out a bit more so it wouldn't be as dark. I only wanted a hint of colour but I looked like someone had been poursing black tea down my legs and leaving it to dry :mad: I think I've managed to even it out now but I'll see later....

WM is already on with load 1, another 2 or 3 for today, and then 2 tomorrow (once I've stripped DD's bed since she's going away for the weekend ) which isn't bad for me considering I haven't washed since Friday or Saturday last week, and DD's bedding I took off on Sunday is in the washing loads to do tomorrow.

I think I'm going to concentrate on my studying today and see where it gets me. Need to run the hoover through downstairs as well but I might save the cleaning until tomorrow when I know DD won't trample cereal etc through and then I can enjoy a clean house over the weekend (unless I go to my mates again )

Personal :

• Dishes
• BM
• Bath - yes again. It helps me sleep so I've discovered
• OU work :
  • Chapter 4
  • Tutorial 4
  • TMA 02:eek: Well, at least look at it!!!
• Phone another Freecycler about something else and sort it out for them to collect.
• IRONING - everything I can manage to do.... will find a film to watch while I do it But not worth starting until I have some more dry washing!
• Phone bank re overdraft! :mad:
• Bag & freeze left over sauce from yesterday. DD actually liked the bolognese :j:T
• Recycling out again - we seem to be going through lots of plastic bottles, jars and boxes ATM At least I'm recycling them though and not just binning them
• Write packing list out for DD - clothing, games, paper/pencils etc.
• Gather stuff together to give to ex (pictures and games which he's going to have for his) - games to go tomorrow with DD, picture to be collected Sunday Framed pictures with glass in and peaktime on the trains won't mix :rotfl:
• Sort out freecycle stuff outside for collection & ring the person who wants it!

Cake is in the oven, rolls are rising, DW finished now just waiting for it to cool, WM finished going to sort it out then pop another load in.

I'm fine Lil_me, just grumpy as i'd deliberately had a nice early night as i was tired because this week has been a little stressful. Stupid inconsiderate barstewards! Wish hubby had got his hands on them, altough he'd probably be looking at an assault charge:o Hope the studying goes well, i need to start doing prep work next week.

Morning everyone, kitchen man landed last night and then another one rang and he's coming out tonight. Finally got builder and he's coming out tonight as well just to lift the plans.

Tesco's been and i need to head to Lurgan at some point as well as leave my sister's passport in to get checked and sent.

Flying will get done later. WM on at the minute and i'll change it over before i go.

Michelle hope things are easier today.

Morning all

One load of washing already dry and put away and I've just put the throws in the machine.

Dusted living room, S&S kitchen and vacuumed right through downstairs.

Cleaned bathroom/toilet. No idea what level but more than S&S (and considerably less than level 3 ).

Picked up dog's tablets from vet, paid paper bill etc.

That's about it.

Glad you're feeling better soappie.
