I will also be staying off here a bit, as I get nothing done (but it calls to me....) although thinking about it, if I just pop on to read now and again, it's only a short stop, whereas if I try to catch up.... Ooooh, we'll see...

Pigpen - good luck with the course, although sure you don't need it for the actual course, just the home/college juggling bit...

Triker - glad you got the car sorted in the end - good luck getting a new one soon

DeniseNZ - I've decided - in my world I am perfect, coz in my world the house is always "lived in", the paperwork is always there, the filing is never done and the washing is always in piles - I've perfected my house to be like that - hence I'm perfect! (works for me anyway...:rotfl: ) It's the rest of them that upset the balance...

Serena - hope everything went as well as could be expected yesterday - I'm sure you were a great help for your dad.

Morning all

It looks promising weatherwise here today but I won't hold my breath!

Shan't be doing much flying here today as Dad, my sis and I are putting the final preps to Mum's birthday album. Got almost 200 pics to label, order and stick in :eek: also need to find the pressies we have bought her, get them wrapped and cards written. Plus we want to be at school for the assembly at 10.30, she's retiring today. I thought the Head, who has been in post for 1 year, might have told her not to bother coming in for 3 days this term and finish at the end of July. But apparently 29 years service with probably no more than a weeks sick leave in all that time is not good enough! She wanted to get her money's worth!!

Anyway better get dressed and get the kids organised, hope you all have a good day.

Morning all!

house a tip, DD 13th birthday today, that is my baby a teenager now, can't believe it, I feel old... OH is off work, have lots of running around to do.

At least I don't have to cook tonight, going out for tea (tradition that birthday person in family gets to choose the restaurant)

Hoping to do some of the list, have to make at least the downstairs respectable in case we get visitors, better get to it. :wave:

  • Washing machine on with towels

• TO DO
  • Dishes in sink to soak until I get in
  • Update finances
  • Tea

  • Dust downstairs
  • TD towels when I get in if they need it (I've run out of the hair turby things with bathing every day!)

Morning all!

Woken up with a lack-of-sleep hangover if anyone knows what I mean. Late nights are just catching up with me combined with the fact that kids get up between 7 and 7.30am, that's what happens when you get them to bed earlier. But it's a catch 22 as I want a bit of an evening. We started watching panorama last night which ended at 11.30 and then didn't hit the sack till gone midnight. We always have the intentions of getting an early night, but never manage to get to sleep before midnight. I'm not a morning person anyway and can't stop yawning, and my head feels like a sack of potatoes.
Right need breakfast, shower and then I should feel better. DS2 should be awake by then as he is asleep in our room. Am going to the baby clinic today to get him weighed at last, haven't had him weighed for 6 weeks, it's amazing how complacent you get with your second. With my first I used to get him weighed every 2 weeks religiously for the first year. That's at 2 pm, so in theory that gives me 4.5hours to get things done.
Right heres my list

Monday Mucking out - Living Room, Hall and Stairs

1. Filing.. find a pile and file it I have too many piles all in a carrier bag under my bed - Aaaghhhhhhhhhh! Can't bear to start it, it will take forever - it's about 2 years worth of paper (out of sight - out of mind syndrome)!
