I have now sorted DD1's phone upgrade.. I got a free laptop with it and I'll put the phone away for her for christmas.. I am getting DD2 a cheapy cheap PAYG for when she starts high school so she can get in touch with me or DD1 while she is there if she needs to.. usually I just get texts saying please birng my PE kit.. lol. Or I may sell the phone (they go for about £90) and buy them both new ones for christmas for that money.

I have 3 ebay parcels to get ready for sending tomorrow and hubby has just decided to tell me he is away in London tomorrow night... thanks for the forewarning honey!.

I really need some stuff form shop...

If Tiddles doesn't stop whinging I am going to pull her ears off!!

Hi

I've done some of my dailies and sorted through the toy mountain which had taken over my living room again.:rolleyes:

We went out for lunch as i had a voucher for 4 meals for a tenner that expired today. It was very nice. I feel the need for exercise now though which isn't like me at all . I might take the boys on a bike ride if it doesn't start raining or we might go for a walk. Ds2 can get some exercise then as well instead of being stuck on the back of my bike.

Soappie i'm glad your day went well and i'm hoping today is just as good.

*yawn stretch*

Has anyone actually done anything today or is it just me slobbing about like a potato?

Tided DD's bedroom and mine. Haven't taken the hoover for a walk yet though.

What do you iron/not iron?

and this from a self confessed duster ironer!

Your not as normal as me cos I don't iron dusters I don't have any. I just wet wipe everything. And I don't iron.........
Tea towels, bathroom towels, socks, or undies. Other than that it all gets it

Hi everyone,
Hows the hangovers?? I am just jealous as I am not allowed to drink any alchohol now beacouse of my muscle condition but there was a time .....

I am surprised Pigpen & Triker were on the go so early but i suppose with children as alarm clocks you dont have much option!

Sarahshattered it sounds as if you had a lovely all nighter and if its only once in ablue moon what does it matter - it must have been really nice to have uninterupted time to chat. You can catch up on the sleep this week!! Glad to hear DD's blisters are not going near her eyes - hope she is feeling better.

Aawh Soapie it sounds like you had a lovely day with your ex -I am so pleased for you and I hope today turns out just as good - I would be like you and trying to have everything looking good just to show what I am capable of.
Boddy - hope you and your Mum enjoys her 'do' - what a great age!:j

Michelle - i dont know how you manage it all - do you ever stop - i think you are fantastic in what you acheive - Do you eat/drink/ smoke(only joking) something special to give you all this energy???? I wish I could do half of your list.:rolleyes:

I am probably too late but I hope you have a lovely time away lilme.

Dustykitten I am like you i have wooden pegs - I didnt realise there was washing line etiquette:rotfl: :rotfl:

Welcome Roxy - these ladies are the biz - so helpful and supportive - in the 3 weeks i have been here I have done things that have not been done in yonks - i am actually beginning to enjoy housework ( sad I know) as I can see what I have done and I am not worn out.

Tag - if you are ever short of things to make up your 15 I would be delighted to make up the numbers :rotfl: :rotfl: I have an Ironing mountain but will try ( I did say try!) to make iit into a hill!

Some of you are incredibly busy even on a sunday - pollybear, kazmeister,tag, valli, dustykitten,michelle,SSl, and even pigpen with the hangover - my hat of to all of you - I have probably missed a few so please dont take it personally!! I think you all do loads.:T

Today I overslept - having trouble with my mask that i wear for sleeping ( i have sleep apnea) - have nearly managed to get everying out of the bedroom that doesnt belong there - only trouble is that evrywhere else is now a mess!!!! especially the hall - but most of that will be going to the shed when it stops raining. If I can get everything cleared out into where it should be then maybe this week when i do the challenges each room will begin to take shape - thats the plan:rotfl: :rotfl:

DW and WM x1 - 2 phone calls - 6 books on Amazon - and been searching on other threads for trout recipe and reading posts on here!

Must try harder (think thats should have been my name!!:rotfl: )

I don't get hang overs.. I actually thought I would be in bed all day with a migraine at about 11pm last night but thankfully the parrots fended off any kind of headache that mighr have lingered.. and I was on lemonade most of the night and only had 4 with alcohol in.. which is about 1/4 what I usually have!

It was actually hubby who woke me up at half six.. and then my sore elbow woke me again about 8 because it had been bleeding and was stuck to my nightie.. YUKKY!! Then I was awake from about 10 but the children were playing happily and quietly so I just laid there lol.. no point getting up when they are quiet.. they play just as well with me laid awake in bed as they do when I am sitting here or mopping the floor.

DD3 is currently in time out in the kitchen.. she could have gone a few minutes ago but she is quite happy sitting in there with the cat on her lap so I've said nothing.. but GOd does that child MOAN!!! Tiddles has taken herself off to bed.. I love it when she does that. it is very sweet... and hubby is doing the skirting on the landing.. so I can get some decorating done this week hopefully.

I have done something now.. shocking I know!!

WM x2
BM
DW x2
and played 15 games of mahjong on the pc.. SAD!

Still need to go to the shop though.. it wouldn't be so bad but the shop is actually only onthe corner of the street!! I am SUCH a slob!! lol

kazwookie

I have decided I am normal.......

I have coloured clothes pegs, but use what comes first to hand!

Watched the grand prix, eaten brie and done not a lot else this afternoon

Valli - sorry didn't mean to offend, it was tongue in cheek and hope nobody else is upset I just didn't want newbie flyers to be put off - sorry.

Still tipping it down here so off to the library

No not offended at all! I'm sure we all have our little obsessions! And you're quite right - we don't want to put anybody off - this is not, IMHO, a site where we aim for housework perfection - how can we? We've all got such busy lives - personally, at the end of my first week I am just so appreciative of the welcome I have received - and the motivation. I know I would not have done so much (but still not the b****y bank account:rotfl: ) - And I have done way more than I would have done if I hadn't been spurred on by you all. So Dustykitten I am not offended - at all - I know I'm perfect:rolleyes: !
