    Monday Misery - Kitchen and Dining Room
    Dust any extra furniture in dining area
    Wipe and replace all those small appliances.
    Clean cupboard door fronts and fronts of appliances

    Extra Mission : help yourself
    1. Clean microwave
    2. DOG TRAINING COURSE (not that i'm excited)
    MACAW
    This week - practise what i'm taught at the dog course every day (or how ever often they tell me to)
    Last week - take a deep breath before I snap/grumble/complain/etc to anyone.

    LMAO.. which is which???

    (guess who has no idea who phil mitchell is!!)

    I'd have done the same.. and I look like tinkerbell!... lol

    Ha ha, he is the one on the right, PM is the one on the left (can't believe you've never seen 'enders... lol) He's only 5'7 tho but still scares the bejesus out of them all around here and I can have my moments - rarely now, arthritus stops me running down the road after them any more... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Annoying tho that you have to look/be like that to get a bit of piece - my neighbours next door are wonderful people but so quiet and they never complain, just put up with it, although must admit it is so much better now they have all left school and go out to work/sign on/b*m around somewhere else...

    Bring back the old days when all the neighbours, no matter who they were, would clip me and my friends around the ear if we misbehaved... so we showed them respect... Oooh, better not get started...:o

    he does indeed denise! Thank you for your suggestions, my problem isn't so much furniture and so on, more re-wire, new boiler, central heating that works, new bathroom, kitchen units, carpets and so on. It doesn't help that we need to use lime based products rather than any old tin of paint etc. I regret nothing but sometimes it would be lovely to have £10k to throw at the problems.

    At least you are positive about it all, it can get you down though eh! Good luck with everything and hope you can sort out the mortgage soon so you're not stuck with the increase too long...

    I had a lovely morning with AnW's mum. She is as lovely as on here, and we nattered away and did manage quite quickly to put the slide together. And DS1 immediately showed his appreciation of it by using it. :D Both my boys were good, DS1 has been well taught - taking our plates into the kitchen for us, scraping his plate into the bin (including his spoon) and chatting away.

    I ditto that, we had a great time. Charlie and Sam were both full of smiles and very well behaved :) We had a good chat and put the world to rights. Thanks for the cake and drink :D

    I called as Asda on the way home and spent a small fortune on food and some Christmas presents, they had some good deals which I just had to take advantage of although I perhaps looked like an alcoholic with the amount of booze in the trolley!!!! Got a bottle of Chateau Neuf Du Pape for Christmas day, a box o wine for me :D, some grolsch for me, whiskey and various other beers for pressies!

    Now about to help Miss A create a tesilating pattern to print on a T shirt transfer for her class assembly tomorrow.
