    Vanilla sorry to hear about your Bo, I hope all goes well, thinking of you and your family.

    Hi to all newbies,

    My weekend guests, finally leave today! I then can have a good clean round tonight, the whole house looks like a tip, with the guests' clothes, shoes, books games etc etc all over the place, why carn't they just tidy all their stuff up into one area....................

    Strip beds, washing, hoovering, dusting, put out rubbish, make sure they took everything with them, including the annoying 14 year old who acts about 6 and thinks the furniture is a giant assult course!

    Vanilla - massive hugs for you and your family. I hope you're all (including the dog!!!) feeling much better today xx

    Ragz - happy first birthday to your DS and he has a cake that tastes of cake too - well done on making it.

    My list for today with even more added to it. Remind me why we think going on holiday is a good idea? My mum's having the children until after lunch so I can do all the running around without them which is just as well as it's peeing down here.

    Tuesday / wednesday list
    - dust and clean living room
    - dust and clean dining room
    - dust and clean hall
    [strike]- find homes for everything in kitchen that shouldn't be there[/strike]
    - clean kitchen
    - clean bathroom
    - clean bedroom
    - get children to clean out animals
    - vacuum all down stairs
    - vacuum all upstairs
    - pack
    -[strike] another washing load[/strike]
    - dry for ten minutes and hang
    - probably another washing load
    - dry for ten minutes and hang
    - go and buy last minute stuff we need
    - weed whole of allotment
    - sort out international driving license for hubby to go and get
    - HHC in study
    - HHC in study
    - fix bird feeder which a big fat wood pigeon has knocked over!!!
    - [strike]wash all towels being used[/strike]
    - [strike]part dry and hang[/strike]
    - wash our bed stuff
    - part dry and hang
    - wash dd's bed stuff
    - part dry and hang
    - wash ds's bed stuff
    - part dry and hang
    - make our bed
    - make dd's bed
    - make ds's bed
    - pick up precriptions for holiday
    - post letters
    - take stuff to friends house
    - take charity bag to shop

    There is method in my madness at doing the beds today. When we come home they'll only be two days used so I won't have to do them again for a week. If I do them today they'll dry before I go away and I won't have to come home to full clothes horses. OMG i'm getting obsessed!!! :eek: :rotfl: and isn't today's list longer than yesterdays and i've already done a load from it :rotfl: .

    Ok, breakfast being made and children stripping beds. I always new they'd come in handy one day!!! xx:D

    Morning all!

    Sending big hugs and lots of luck your way Vanilla. Hope the doogie is better and that your OH and you are feeling better too.

    After a dreadful night's sleep, I have a headache again - this will be day number 5 with a headache! I'm wondering if it is something to do with my pillow as my neck hurts and the pain goes up into my head rather than the other way around. I thought at first it was the weather causing them, but not so sure now. Before anyone asks, I've got no light sensitivity, and no rashes, or flu like symptoms, so not meningitis.

    Well I'd best get on. Have breakfasted now, and after checking pigsback will get dressed and then get on with my list.

    Anyone up for a HHC 10-10.30?
