  • Hi right im hcc, i got cut short by 5 minutes as ds1 decided to wakw up ds2 by jumping and screaming on the bed, when i mean screaming i mean the oiercing scream that hurts your ears. ds2 was in the other room. Also got interrupted by a phonecall.
    i am now typing this with one hand whilst breast feeding ds2.
    anyway
    dusted the whole bedroom including under stuf and all small items, picture frames
    cleaned windows
    dusted computer are, bookcase and books
    removed bed sheets
    decluttered
    dusted dressing table
    cleaned mirror
    tidied ds2's moses basket area
    emptied dustbins
    put on cars for ds1 to get him to sit quietly
    put all paperwork in one pile to add to the rest of them,
    all this whilst telling ds1 to stop screaming and shouting
    amazing what you can ahieve, i'm glowing now!

    sorry about any spelling, punctuation, grammar
    Housework only gets noticed when it's not done.
    My fake plants died because I did not pretend to water them.

  • Hi everyone..

    Sorry, haven't read all 10 pages that have appeared since I last posted *sighs*. But I hope everyone is doing well today and hugs for those who aren't.

    I am very proud of myself. I finally finally got the gift tags made and the presents wrapped and we took them round to where they should have been months ago. It's a long painful story and I have been procrastinating for all this time but it was keeping me awake at night so I finally finally did it. And my OH really helped too. I expected to feel better right away but actually it wasn't until I woke up this morning that I realised I didn't feel sick with worrying about it any more.

    So my lists for today..

    Daily list:
    feed cat at least twice
    Sort emails
    Do any outstanding surveys
    Ask OH to check tomato plants for ripe ones
    Spray bathroom with bleach spray
    Spend an hour doing reviews
    Do my daily click thrus


    and extras:
    file 10 peices of paperwork (keep ignoring this one :o )
    browse thru recipe books to find new meal ideas
    find phone numbers for decorators (this keeps appearing on my list and I don't seem to be doing it!!)

    Play with new Energy monitor
    Bake hobnobs.

    Have a productive day flying everyone!

    Still haven't had lunch.... although, I could eat my tea off my gleaming bathroom floor :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Hiya everyone
    Denise - congratulations for your son. The photo is fabulous - you must be so proud.
    Froddington - hope you're ok, thinking of you and your dad xx

    Thanks to everyone for the advice about bedtimes. I think i'm trying to get them to sleep to early. The problem is by 730 I need a break! Lol. So, i'm going to start sending them up at 730 to get ready for bed. Then ds (7) can read until 815 and dd (9) can read until 830/845. This will be on the understanding that if they're little grumps in the morning they'll be going to bed at 6 the next day!!!! Ok, not that early but earlier:rotfl: .

    My arm is a bit achy this afternoon. Think i've just overused it a bit working every day. I'm only seeing one client tomorrow so hope it will ease up a bit for working Saturday.

    Time for the school run and taking ds and dd to grandparents for tea. Then I guess i'll do my list!

    Speak to you later.

    Hugs to all xx

Also his chest of drawers is bursting at the seams so i need to sort out the too small stuff and put the summer stuff away.
