    Oh dear, I should have stayed in and done stuff but DP had to go to Middlesbrough so thought make the most of him paying the fuel cost and go get what I needed. Got myself a couple of nice pairs of jeans, because the underneath of mine are getting close to knicker showing stage. I popped in a jewellers having a sale and picked up a X*** present for my Mam half price :D then back for DS2s harvest festival (hence I am here now as brought him home with me)

    Anyway excuses aside, I should have stayed home and got cracking really. Everythings still messy here and it's getting to me. I keep thinking I don't know where to start and end up doing nothing. I still have that BBQ in here and to make it worse an awning now aswell since the new one arrived.

    So this evening I am going to do the sitting room, declaring full out war on it................so that means...HHC 3.15pm -3.45pm to start me off! ((hugs for poohbear))
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    In my innocence I never thought that could be taken in another way:eek:
    When I mop I either do a swishy with my vildeda or if I am feeling energetic - I mop the floor with a hand mop - and wipe down 'anything mysterious' on the walls because obviously when I'm up close I can see it better - and I mop the skirtings and everything...my mum calls it 'a good bottoming' - that's no better either:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi guys :wave:

    Oooooh valli and Tom sitting in a tree.........*sniggers* I'm so childish

    Well, work's finished for the day yippee......got the most dreadful cold so I'm sitting in front of the electric heater to get warm I'm not putting the heating on, poohbear think I'll come and join you I love real fires. Teenies done my dailies today bless him so there's only the tea to cook later on.

    My Amazon order arrived too today but it was a xmas pressie for teenie, but I looked at the Nigella book in Asda and it looks good, so tempting to buy it even though I don't really do baking :confused: I know it's shameful I have no right whatsoever to be here lol Maybe if I bought it I'd be inspired.... yeah good reason.....:cool:

    Littley breaks up for half-term today so need to sort out childcare for tomorrow - only 3 hrs so wont be too difficult. OH is still [STRIKE]milking it [/STRIKE]suffering with his extraction.....what a baby :rolleyes: I'm gonna have to punch it if he doesn't shut up about it tonight - give him something to whinge about.

    Aunt Flo is duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuue

    Joy!

    Well done you!

    Yey, was thinking the same about you as well. Well done you to! :D

    I am starting to flag a bit now though. But in my defence I have been up since 5.20 am and I have been too work as well.

    I'm just gonna finish off the LR and maybe tackle the desk. Think that'll do me for today. Unless I get a second wind.

    Be back later
