    :mad: loaded WM when I came in but forgot to set it off, then spent most of the evening on the phone! Have now set it off and will have to wait till its done before I go to bed as I need to chuck the contents (towels) in the dryer.

    I have:

    got chicken out of freezer for tomorrow evening
    put out rubbish/recycling
    aired house (i.e. left loads of windows open while at work:p )
    tested smoke alarms

    Still to do...
    finish clearing kitchen table (nearly done... there's a pile of stuff on it I need to sort through for Polkadot!)
    unpack from last week (may need spare room tomorrow - unpacked and now on my bed...)
    check living room is respectable (may need to use it tomorrow... just about passes, if I have time tomorrow I'll clear the coffee table & change the covers on the seat cushions)

    If I HAVE to move stuff, I'm only going to allow hotspots in the study, seeing as it is usually one HUGE hotspot (work, paperwork, ironing) and its the one room I can keep other people out of. Now worse than normal

    now the biggest problem... I have to pack for the gym... what am I going to wear to work tomorrow!!!

    well, all seems quiet tonight so going to say goodnight and see you all in the morning, nite nite
  • Morning all, sorry not caught up from page 17 and no flying so far as have been working (8am - 10.30pm yesterday :eek: ) - gets a bit like that when we have a deadline, then nothing for a bit so I don't mind as it's great fun, except for the [EMAIL="kn@ckered"]kn@ckered[/EMAIL] side of things..

    :mad: :mad: :mad: Just got DS up and got him to clean up the kitchen and load dishwasher as not a cup left in the house, plus he really annoyed me as he left the stairgate open yesterday so the dogs have gone upstairs and jumped all over the beds - (I leave the back door open for them as I hate shutting them in if I have to go out - no-one would dare come in when Toby is there - (18 mth old Rottweiler/Alsatian stands as tall as me when on back legs!) - so there is mud and dog hair all over the beds as they have had great fun playing chase on them - had to change the beds when I just wanted to fall straight into it - plus he never walked them yesterday as no-one here to nag him even though he knew I couldn't, so the poor little loves have only had the garden all day... Me thinks it will be different today!:mad: :mad: :mad: OK, rant over, sorry...

    Hope everyone OK, will try to have a quick catch up before I go (not leaving till 9am today, so hoping to get some washing done quick...)
