that sounds nice, i had a hot choccie earlier to deal with cramps, it was the galaxy one and i did it with milk instead of water and wasn't that good, may try the horlicks tonight/tomorrow, i like them/ that;)

It's a frothy hot chocolate, got one of those fangly nescafe pod machines and it makes it. I got the instant stuff but I always end up with lumps in.

Pleased they replayed the Eastenders one, that was good, have had to stop the boys watching now so I can get them to sleep. Might take cuppa upstairs and watch this there, got baby laptop up there if I can't get to sleep.

Cleared and cleaned my dining table. Then plonked piles of clean, dry washing on of which some has been relocated to drawers.

I have written myself a big list on my whiteboard of what I would like to achieve this weekend, half the problem is rememberingeverything.;)

Right off to get my well earned G and T.

I'm soooooooooo tired this morning that my face is sulking at me in the mirror for getting it up - only another 3 x 12.25 hr shifts to go before I get to sleep past 5am YAWNzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Hope everyone's sickies feel better today and big hugs to everyone, especially our illustrious leader pigpen - a broken nose eh, that must have been some shot. Haven't caught up with thread yet but hope to later

Enjoy your weekend guys

Morning :wave:

lady liberty the size of a watermelon :eek: hope it's sorted for you asap, all the best x
pigpen it's never boring in your house is it, hugs to your DS and a pat on the back for standing up for himself....and the kitty is so cute.
johanne it sucks when friends let you down, hope you have a fabulous night anyway, without them.
Tag you're mad, but good for you anyway for biting the bullet and for taking advantage of your OH's motivation.

Been up since 6.30 so browsed the net and had a cuppa, just S&S'd the kitchen and set the DW away...TD will be filled the washer load off last night soon. I've got littleys room today :eek: and the pc room that I didn't get round to the other day so that should keep me off the streets for a while. So glad I decided to join in with you this week cause the rest of the house is pretty good and it wouldn't have been if I hadn't joined you :j

I've already done todays list last year so YAY!

Ok, list time

S&S kitchen
load DW
load TD
meal plan
pc room :eek:
littleys room - double :eek: :eek:
make corned beef hash for tea - Yum!
make my bed
WM x 20 million (all in littleys room)
tidy/clean/hoover/mop porch - it's disgusting
general potter & tidy/S&S

Think that'll do for today - just getting littleys room done will make me happy.

Brew time first....

Morning all and hope everyone is beginning to feel better.

OK, I didn't beat Likklegibbon but why am I up so ridiculously early on a Saturday morning? :mad: I've been awake since stoopid o'clock and didn't go to bed till half past o'crikey coz I was watching C.I.N.

I came downstairs at 6.30 and found out why! The smoke alarm was beeping. We've got a Fire Angel in the work-in-progress study, and you need to have the light on regularly to charge it up. I don't think it's been on this week, so it was running low.

Since then I've:

loaded tumble dryer
loaded washing machine
loaded coffee pot
loaded breadmaker
started oven cleaning

and am sitting eating my breakfast.

Johanne - I hope you manage to take advantage of your babysitter to have some time to yourself.

Pigpen - I think that epistle sounds most reasonable!

Toochoosey - let me at her, I'm only up the road!:rotfl:

Lil_me - great news about Matthew.
