Friday Frenzy- those frightening kids rooms and spare rooms

Make an appointment for some ME-time.. hairdressers? manicure? night out with friends? .. whatever just do it!
Level Two
Vacuum the floor
Dusting.. all those shelves and flat fluffy surfaces!! Don’t forget the light shade and curtain pole!!!
Strip beds, turn and vacuum mattresses!! and replace with fresh linen .. check if duvets need freshening up too!!
Level Three
Clean 2 windows
Grab a toy box and throw/rehome anything that is no longer wanted.. it'll be chrimbo before we know it and we need the space!!
Wipe any sticky marks off walls and doors
Extra Task List
  1. Sort the school clothes for next week.. is everything labelled?
  2. Wipe the radiators, skirtings and window & door frames!

    I'm working today too but its my last day before my holidays. Not going anywhere just staying at home but it will be good to have a wee break.

    I'm going to the cinema tonight prob to see Hellboy 2. Cause I have an unlimited cinema card it means that I don't have to pay per film so I go to see loads at the cinema :D

    Morning Bunny, Sammy and betti:j

    In my house after a takeaway, beer and DVD I would know exactly what happens next......OH falls asleep snoring on the sofa:rolleyes: and I would be chatting on the party thread:rotfl:

    Had an email from my boss last night to say that she is having a days holiday today to I guess that means no news about the new job that is supposed to start on Monday :mad:

    Things to be grateful for today

    Its Friday:j
    Its Payday:D
    My family have still not succeeded in their quest to drive me insane:rolleyes:

    Have a good day everyone
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
  • Morning Lou and Betti!

    Betti, I am interested in these unlimited cinema things-where did you get it from and how much is it???

    I can't get the TV to work and the kids are doing my head in....lol

    I NEED TO VENT!!!!!

    I am having a wobbly moment. I have lost DD1's car keys and so far she has thrown a strop over DD2 pinching make up brush and me losing keys... okay she then strops out of house saying I will walk, and I think fine, then she rings and says please take me....i still don't give in, now she has got her boss to pick her up and i feel like a mean mum...I know, I know!

    But I have also lost my debit card this week and A&L have to cancel both mine and OH's cards...he is in Manchester with no card and I am here with no card.....so I have had to run round all week trying to get cash out of the bank (No A&L in this stupid town!) and get car MOT'd - cash no problem, car insured - no debit card so no can do and no tax cos no insurance......

    OH wants me to drive to scouseland tonight (cos he is a big stupid baby) so I have to run home from work get ready and spend FOUR hours on the M6 cos everyone goes up north on Friday! instead of me getting ready tonight and going up in the morning. alternative however, is to stay here with stroppy DD1.

    AND boss put my charge out rate up again yesterday at work, which just means for my clients to get value for money I just have to work even quicker so feel under immense pressure there.

    Just feeling quite stressed at the minute. :o

    Good morning

    this week has flown by and I can't believe it's Friday already - where does time go:confused:

    I'll be finishing clearing out the spare bedroom this weekend so that the plasterers can come in, gut and replaster what will become LB's bedroom.

    Louise - yes it's payday which is great but it being friday means that my week's holiday is almost over :(

    Have a good one everyone,

    Oh Sammy have a :grouphug:

    Have you got time for a cuppa :coffee:

    It sounds as though you have had a really crappy week.

    You buy them from Cineworld cinemas but can only use them there. Outside of London they cost £11.99 a month (minimum term a year I believe). I live in Glasgow where we have one of the biggest cineworld cinemas and my boyfriend, my sister, my friends and I go all the time (not all together, that would be strange :D )

    Just had a red bull....(nearly put some wine with it!) its not like I feel like I have had a crap week - I think I just deal with things almost like on automatic pilot but then I get tired and lose the plot at the stupidest things, but I do think my lot take advantage and think I am at their beck and call....
