    pigpen ((large amount of hugs)) similar thing happened with my DPs family so know how you feel. However when it came down to it I decided I would rather pay my respects in my own way than with them anyway but remember the hurt and upset I felt at first. I doubt knowing she's a WIL like mine you expected her to be any less than an awkard PITA. We know and you know it isn't your fault x Oh and little kitty is a 'Socks' because she's got white socks on (according to my DS2) suppose Boots or Panto might be more fitting for this time of year but he says she should be called Socks.
    SarahS sending super woman vibes your way to cope with the family of poorlies, put a big 'do not enter, infected area' sign on your door and all hibernate until you're all better....my DS2 tries to deal with it himself (walls, doors, carpet everywhere!) ***hugs for you and your little munchkin**

    Did my HHC, I did everything I listed plus got rid of 2 sacks of rubbish, emptied the TD and put DS2s duvet in. I have removed all the bits off the hob and squirted loads of cleaning stuff on it so next HHC (11-11.30) I will
    [STRIKE]
    Scrub hob, rinse and dry
    Scrub kitchen benches (inc move stuff to clean under them)
    Empty the overflowing drainer of plastic tubs and whatever else is on it
    Clean cupboard fronts
    Move paperwork box from kitchen floor to conservatory (no idea why it's in the kitchen) [/STRIKE]
    Move bathroom stuff box (from unpacking :o ) to bathroom doing in smaller amounts but getting there
    Clean cupboard door fronts
    Sort through 'junk from unpacking' box some of

    That'll probably take me more than half an hour.......won't be back until it's done
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Ladies,

    I do hope you're sitting down because guess what:

    I have put some oven pride in my disgustingly filthy oven and it is doing its magic!
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
  • Pigpen - hugs, families are rubbish at times, but we know you're not like that!
    The kitten is gorgeous (we had one looked like that and we called her Matilda coz she danced when she walked. :p)

    If I write very small will Pigpen miss that fact that I did some jobs? I cleaned out the under sink cupboard and the "laundry" cupboard where I keep my soap powder. :o I'm getting fed up of the mess developing when I'd been getting back on top of it. If I fly very very slowly over the next week, I might be getting things back in some sort of order before I have to go back to work.

    I have done my dailies as follows:#

    DD taken for car share
    SS bathroom, shower room
    SS Kitchen
    Dogs, cats and fish fed (only once!:p)
    DS taken to work experience

    Still need to load washing machine, but DH brought basket downstairs for me.
    Then maybe another cupboard?:o

    Off to dentist.

    Later. :hello:

    Hey all!

    I can't do anything :mad: :( Off to the doctors in a bit about my back. Got out of the car earlier and one of my legs didn't really want to support my weight so I nearly collapsed on the wet floor! Hobbled very slowly to where I wanted to go thinking it was just a dead leg and it would sort itself out and whilst it's not slightly better I'm still wobbly walking :( Really need to get this sorted though as my lower back is painful to touch and I'm fed up of getting pains down my legs, also it started hurting last Thursday and it's still not completely right!

    Fed up now :(
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!
