    Morning all, apologies in advance, I haven't read the thread first ... but today I intend to get cracking, this house is way past pigging.... and if I read the whole thread 1st ... I'm going to have less time!

    So, DH has been creating dust and havoc throughout the house, so everything needs cleaning, which is going to be awful, but at least he's out for the day and DD is at school until 3 :) .... gotta be done as we have friends over at the w/e :eek:.

    Right, so I'm going to post PigPen's lists, go and soak some cloths in vinegar to shove around the taps, nip up the market and then ..... it's on with the battle! I shall no doubt be in for some HHC / HHI's and HHC (coffee!)

  • Morning All,

    Just back from the paediatrician's. It always depresses me going for any of these appointments. DD3 is fine, but I think it's just that I have to go for apps that I don't have to with my "normal" children. IYSWIM?

    OH just phoned.... I thought, "oh wow, he's remembered how down those apps make me, and has phoned to see how I got on!" Should have known better eh? He was phoning to get me to do something for him :mad: Thanks a lot love!

    Anyway, it's lovely and bright and breezy here, so I guess I should try to shake it all off..... :rolleyes: Some days it's just not that easy is it.

    Does anyone fancy a HHC? 10.45-11?

    Only up to page 8 of the thread, so just posting to say hi to all the newbies, and all the regular flyladies!

    I have been very busy today, and have done the main bedroom and the livingroom before sitting down with coffee.

    The funeral yesterday went as well as these things usually go, and I just made sure that Dad had plenty of rest and cups of tea, and lunch, and had calmed down before he left to drive back. We didn't go back to the house afterwards, as he wanted to get back and see Mum. He doesn't like to miss a day, but she wasn't on her own, as my sister went in for the afternoon.

    Lovely day here today, so I'm going to try and get to the allotment this afternoon, so I get a bit more fresh air and exercise - something I missed out on last week thanks to the rain!
