    Sorry about the bunny pigpen, i thought they lived longer than that:confused: Hope the littlies arent too upset.

    They are supposed to live about 6-8 years.. we just don't have much luck with the 2 we have had.. she was 2.5 and her brother managed about 22 months! I hope our current 2 last longer.. they look so miserable bless them.. she was like their mum and they were huddled up to her when we came down this morning it was really sad.

    I've not had any calls from school but DD2 who is home is just flopping about like a dishcloth..

    Where did I put the 2 pairs of school trousers I just sold on ebay?? I thought they were on the worktop in the kitchen but they appear to have disappeared!

    Right......I'm in !!!

    Been lurking on here for ages and really trying to make a start.

    However, for the last 4 days I've been doing a room a day from top to bottom, total clean out. I even bought those cable tidy thingies from woolies and smartened up all the cables at the back of the TV and PC. Gonna get some more for the kids rooms.

    Will be checking in here every day for inspiration, but will probably start properly next week, as I should have finished all my rooms by then and I can start with a clean slate, just as the school hols start!

    It is the surprise element that upsets me:o They just dash out at you!

    Which is why I screamed this morning when I saw one on the worktop :o. I'd quite happily hold one if I was given one. But they are bloomin' difficult little blighters to catch!

    Hmmm off to do something constructive, like shower..lol. I have been playing around with my new phone on and off all morning as well as reading on here. I think the horrible weather is making me rather lethargic.. :(

    So I'm going to do my own HHC, that's if I can move the cat off the cushion inbetween me and the lappy :D

    I changed the bedding on the sofa bed in the LR during HHC at 12H30, then dusted and hoovered and no more. My chest is really tight Sarahshattered Im in the process of quitting smoking,hence the cravings and the tight chest. But friend also called and said she was feeling like death warmed up.

    I think Im going to just cuddle on the sofa with DS and start the christmas cards for now-most of the housework is done anyway.

    men gone now, i'm eating lunch and looking for a bed for DD with a ladder and slide, as she is currently only in a 3/4 size bed and i want one like a midi bed for the space underneath, at nearly 6 do you think it's worth getting one with a slide or should i get a normal midi with built in storage?
