Ok................divorce is imminent...........

I spent all day making up baskets for 18 females for Xmas from different offers on different sites - expensive stuff like Ted Baker, E Arden, Pout, Urban Decay etc.
BH just came downstairs and said 'they dont look like much, are you going to put more stuff in and remember my three nieces work in the beauty trade.'
Each basket probably has value of £30+ and includes lots of essentials like wipes, cotton buds etc!! I think they are lovely and also useful.

So now I am going to have to kill him

(Did I mention its my first wedding anniversary next month.......oh the joy)

Ignore him, I'm impressed, my family are lucky if I spend a fiver on them.
The men never get it, but if we left it to them no one would get anything.
Just been and knocked a fair few things off tomorrow's list

Fridge sorted
S&S'd kitchen
Washed up
Sorted recycling
Cleaned cooker (dropped pan full of kids dinner on it earlier while oven was on, by the time I'd finished swearing I had a cooker covered in baked on tomato and tuna pasta sauce.)

Aahh. <relaxes with a little brandy>;)

Have done about 4 loads of washing today, we were out walking yesterday so muddly clothes plus all the usual stuff! quite proud of what i managed tonight. Not feeling great at the mo - very emotional, think its partly changing pill, hopefully will settle as AF seems to be here again and only left a week ago after over a week!

Morning all

I'll be in properly this week I think. Though I'm not feeling 100% today. Am all snotty. Mind you, last time I felt like this it came to nothing. The only thing I can think is I sat out in the garden for a bit yesterday. I wonder if it's hayfever? If so, that's a bit of a shame!

Right - into the bath then into the car and then off to work.

Have a good one ladies

Morning

DH is now away overnight and is taking DS with him so I've got to put a bag together for DS and take him to him. This means though that DD expects me to do something exciting with her as DS has gone with daddy!

Looks like it might be a nice day today - washing is already on the line.

Hope you all have a good day

Hmm, this list could be exactly what I'm looking for.
I do try to be neat and tidy, (have to be, my partner is verging on obsessive about these things), and I even get up at 4.30 some mornings to do cleaning, etc, but unfortunately, whatever I do never seems to make the slightest bit of difference! I'm just totally incapable!
But I have to make a big effort this week, as the littlun breaks up on Thursday, then we'll be spending the next 5 weeks building camps in the garden, and splashing about in the paddling pool, and the house will be lucky to see the hoover

juliejim

I've dropped DS off and sorted out the paper and cans recycling so that's now outside waiting for them to come.

Think I may make a start on the DR floor and table.

DD wants to sleep in my bed with me tonight seeing as DS is sleeping with DH. I'm trying to persuade her otherwise. Mind you when DH is away she quite often sneaks in my bed in the middle of the night and I never realise until the morning.

Off to make a start
