    And how exactly will you restrain yourself? :rotfl: :rotfl:
    I will leave them in the basket...washed but unironed...both are perfectly capable of ironing the clothes they are desperate to wear...it has, believe it or not, happened before...usually because the clothes have been left on the floor for days before turing up in the laundry...beause what I DO NOT do is 'wash on demand'...giving me dirty laudry needed for the morning does not work with me because I won't run the machine on less than a full load because I am too tight to pay the wages of British gas/transco workers (NDN is a Transco employee:rotfl: )by using uneccessary power. In fact DS gor something out of the wash to wear again today...without a murmur.
    Eyes NOT 100% and I can't be bothered to correct the typos - sorry!:o
    OOh spooks - 'Lucas' mmmmm
    Goodnight all- sweet dreams to you and yours - hope poorly peeps are feeling better very soon X

    Alright, come on...admit it... who's pinched my essay brain? :rotfl::rotfl: I've stalled again. I need 1400 words, and so far I've written 369 :mad::mad: It needs to be posted tomorrow lunch time to get there in time :eek::eek:

    Going to have a break and get some things together for tomorrow. Might even get the ironing board out and do the clothes DD and I need... :confused: Right, 5 minute break and then back to it!

  • What am I doing here at stupid o'clock in the morning, when I have to be up at 4.30 to take dh to work so I can take car for oil change.

    Well I thought I had better take the photos of things to go on ebay, then I decided i would list my 5 items. and when I looked up it had gone midnight:p

    I did wipe down the muck on kitchen surfaces etc
    I did clean table and the chairs as well this week.
    I wiped down half of the cupboard front, now the other half really look as if they need doing:rotfl:
    I did ear mark a nasty cupboard to clean out as well
    I picked the chicken carcass for casserole (I hate that job)
    I packed and posted 8 ebay items.
    I also took dd shopping for food before she went back to Doncaster, I also paid for it:rolleyes:
    (but some of her stuff is being sold on ebay, so i can reclaim some of my funds)

    So tomorrow. I will attack the kids bedrooms (why me and not them) well DD's gone back to Doncaster for a few days, and Ds is staying at his mates house and going out tomorrow.

    So I will Finish off in the kitchen and have a go at the bedrooms. They did have a blast last week so not too bad.

    I may have some time to do some real work :eek:

    Good luck with the essay nicki


    My finances are work in progress.
    Normal veiwing will resume shortly

    Morning All

    Got woken up at 4.35 by the phone:mad: - I was not impressed.

    Both of the kids are up so I may make a start on their rooms. DS tidied his room yesterday - or thinks he did - his floor is now clear but only because there are piles of stuff in the corner and under the bed! He's only got a box room and too much stuff.

    DD has a pile of clothes on top of her drawers - apparently some are dirty and some are clean - so it looks like I'll be washing all of them!

    Right I'm going to make a start.

    Morning all.

    Slept very well. But it freezing here the moment. I've actually put the heating on before I venture into the bath...Have the hygienist after work so won't be back until a bit later. Then I'll do a bit of flying. Not sure where - the spare oom was done on Sunday and the kids do their own room. Never mind, I'm sure I'll find something!

    Have a good day
