Oh and incase we're all wondering why Im the last one to go to bed-We have new neighbours,Im getting ready to take them a nice big flask of coffee:rolleyes:Yes, they are moving in right now! There are about three kids riding up and down the street on their scooters and mum and dad are yelling at each other from inside the house to out at the van-not to mention the motorised hoist and the thumping of heavy appliances:eek:What on earth possesses people?

Sorry, i'm sure you didnt find it funny, but you made me laugh:D

Welcome back Bonsi, hope you get everything sorted soon.

Will grab my list in a minute after pretending to be a walrus with LO:rolleyes:

gunsandbanjos glad I could get your day off to a smiling start:) I am now awake-woken by my sweet boys new rendition of "mommy wakea wakea"-and fresh bread.
So the beds are made (I think Im going mad because the coffees in the pot but I havent touched it yet-what have you people done to me ) and the kitchen is clean. I think Ill get that coffee now-then we're out to the market to meet todays playdate and bring her and her mummy back here-yay, to my CLEAN house for once.
Im absolutely loving this thread-Im going to get into the ironing tonight and see how I go with that.

Morning everyone

I'm off to help big sis with her packing again today so don't know how much I'll manage to get done here. We're packing up the kids rooms today so we might never be seen again!!!

Have hoovered right through downstairs and washed up breakfast pots etc so thats a start at least

Well done DeniseF - you're making a great start (Hmmmm kinda puts me to shame really ) I know what you mean about the dog hair - why does it always seem to fly AWAY from the hoover?

Polkadot - what a lovely neighbour you are making them all coffee - I'd probably have been hanging out the window yelling at them to keep it down at that time of night (I'm not at my most pleasant when tired )

Anyway the boxes are beckoning. I'll check back in later - hopefully with a progress report.

Polka OMG :eek: Are they right next door to you?

Yup-and now Im going to have to get cracking on those kitchen curtains Ive been putting off because the back of the house is built in such a way that if they look diagonally out of their bathroom they can watch me work at the kitchen sink:eek:
