WM x 3 (or is it 4) done
TD x 3 done
Dusted round lounge and hall
S&S bathroom

Need to vac round now and will flick a duster round the rest of the house.

I need to pick up the [strike]daubings[/strike] works of art that DD2 has been doing all morning and [strike]put them in the bin[/strike] display them to their best advantage :rotfl:.

I also need to do the bathroom sink again as there is paint all over it - again!

DD2 has just announced she's hungry so must go and feed her. Obviously being Picasso for the morning has really taken its toll :rotfl:

Ooooh. I got a letter from the taxman today and we are due to receive just over £195 refund :T:T:T.

shell2001

Few more things to cross of the list.

I have:-

Collected contact lenses
Got Euros from PO for mum
Phoned Insurance Co. and requested new cover note for me with correct spelling of my surname:rolleyes:
Ironing

Still need to hoover but DD2 playing so will wait till later.

Right another coffee me thinks x

Just gonna sit down have some lunch and watch Doctors I don't actually watch that much tele. Not in the summer months anyway. DH usually hogs it for football, horse racing, black and white movies or some program about war. Too me it's all bloody depressing what he watches.

Had a really successful day so far. Nearly completed everything and doesn't my body know it. I'm knackered. Will update list in a bit.

Hi all!

Count me in for this week, though once again, I doubt I'll be contributing much, as I'm still being Mummy to OH and the LOs, plus OHs personal nurse too. He seems to be getting better every day, which is fab, but still gets very tired very easily, and is in a fair bit of pain, but all heading in the right direction.

I go back to work 2 weeks today , running an internet facility on a Naval base during the eves, so should have lots of time to get involved then! In fact, that's the main (and probably only) reason I'm looking forward to going back, so I can surf t'internet to my hearts content, almost uninterrupted!

Also wanted to say that thank goodness that poor sixteen year old found pigpen - it really breaks my heart sometimes how kids are left to drag themselves up.

Please let us know how she gets on pigpen, I am sure we all wish her the best. I bet you could do without the complications, though :rolleyes:

and I need to rant... my f**king mother!!!

I said I'd rather she was at my house than somewhere unsafe.. at least she is safe with me.. my bloody mother said well I'd be finding her somewhere to live.. I said she was only 16 2 days ago!!! my mother then proceeds to tell me she was 17 2 days ago.. I said so what was she doing with a balloon and several cards that said 16 on them then??? Dozy wench!! !!!!!!.. she is such a twit at times.. I said there is no way I am going to sit by and let any girl of that age sleep rough let alone one that is pregnant.. stupid mare!!

I'll take her and all her complications rather than see her sleeping in the park again!.. Apparently her mother only lets her stay at home when she wants her to babysit!!! I am so cross on her behalf.. and with my mother... gggrrrr

It is crazy though.. she barely speaks!! lol

pigpen

Thank goodness for you!

Poor kid, sixteen, pregnant with all those lovely hormones :rolleyes: She must be wondering what is going to happen next and all the 'where do I go, what do I do' stuff.

She is really lucky to have found you. I'm sure once she gets the hang of the idea that you are not going to just let her stay to do babysitting she'll start to speak more.

Two places that may help, once she has got her head round everything, are the local Foyer and Connexions. Both of those, I think, help youngsters with no place to go, and they will certainly be able to help with advice.

Having five minutes - have got nothing done as DS has decided he is going to be a bit challenging today. And I will not be starting the list anytime soon as OH is expecting home baking... I'm just really aiming for a batch of twinks hobnobs and maybe some banana bread to use up the bananas before they ooze into the bin. DS in his playpen, refusing any hint at sleep. He may be as pale as a ghost with huge shadows under his eyes, but he doesn't see why he should mess around with this 'nap' rubbish. :rolleyes:

Don't be embarrassed about watching Doctors. I watch it too . I'm sad enough to have really missed it when it was off for 3 weeks because of Ascot and Wimbledon. I just wanted to see if Melody and Archie patched things up :rotfl:. I don't watch much telly either. I think it's about the only thing I do watch except Dr Who and any decent period drama which comes on. I don't suppose you are an Archers fan too are you? I've recently got hooked on it
