    Mumoffour - massive hugs to you and your daughter, i'm so glad you're all ok. Little, thieving ********!!!!!

    I've done lots of flying today in every room. Thought i'd finished but the cat through up on our bed soaking the mattress, duvet, the lot. Manky little madam that she is!!! So, that's all washing now. I can't even turn the mattress over because the springs are sticking out the bottom of it...yes, I know, we need a new mattress.

    My list for tomorrow goes something like this;

    - get children to school with having as little contact with everyone else there
    - walk doglet
    - study for at least 3 hours
    - deep cleanse clinic and kitchen

    I might do the kitchen tonight. Didn't manage to get to sleep until 4am this morning!!!

    Holly - I think you've made the right decision xx

    Control journal - now THAT IS scary - too much for me:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:


    I guess you got me on that one - but I love stationary and since growing up removes that exciting back to school stationary rush I have put my efforts instead into my pretty pink book which I am currently defacing with lots of motivational quotes :j :j

    Still think you're mad for liking ironing though :rotfl: :rotfl: Do you think the OH mother might take pitty on me tomorrow and do it whilst she is babysitting the carpenter? I might just leave it all stratigically set up in the living room - sneaky I know :A

    Pigpen - hope you manage to work out how to open the packet that the battery is in... we'll get you there a step at a time ;) As G&B says, pass on our best wishes & lots of luck to your sister - she may think you're a bit mad saying that a load of random people who you nag about doing housework online are thinking of her, but hopefully the positive thoughts will help

    It doesn't have instructions on the packet.. WHAT DO I DO??????????

    My sister KNOWS I am crazy.. she has known me for her entire 27 years lol

    Thanks also to.. Michelle, Jamie, bumble, Tag, Polly (now I am nearly blubbing) Valli, Froddy, Sexymouse, sarah, Nicki, hex (it is stressful for us all!), Diva, Chunky (try my lot.. I have 5 girls!!), MOJ2, Carol (ok.. now I'm blubbing) Dusty, Hollyh, Johanne, boddy, Serena, Laura, Soappie, for your good wishes for my sister.. *sniff*

    Mumoffour... Sometimes life just f***ing sucks... I am so pleased you are all uninjured and safe and DD didn't scream when she saw them.. god forbid what they might have done to her had they seen her. The pox upon the nasty pieces of dirt that did this I hope they rot from the outside as well as the rot they have inside. Bless you all xxxxx

    Hi all, didnt get to touch the spare room as I had to pick my GS up from school today and he,s only just left but managed this.
    made bed when I got up!
    washed dishes and done sink and taps
    cleaned and cleared surfaces
    washed door fronts
    s&s hob
    Changed water in flowers and cut them a bit
    5 minutes in garden
    Yesterdays dry washing stacked and put away
    Todays washing hung up
    bathroom sink s&s
    a quick fling, not a lot mind, but some.
    May just go and sit down at telly now, eyes feeling burny.
    Just a shirt for tmrw to do and make sandwiches for work.
    I have made an appointment for Allen Carrs stop smoking clinic on 27th of this month. I think that would be the best thing I can do for my house and me. Wish me luck.

    I may have a washing / peg obsession :rolleyes: but I certainly don't have an ironing one! My mum came round and did my ironing when I first broke my arm but for some reason she won't do it now I can manage it myself :confused: I have just ironed the clothes I need for the next 3 days at work - seemed strange doing my school polo shirts after 4 months!! - the rest of the ironing can wait til ...........whenever :p

    And now I think I should pack my stuff up ready for the morning - not sure how I'm going to manage to get up sooooo early :eek:
