    My ear HURTS!!! I anm so going to fail my chemistry NAB tomorrow. There is an estate agent coming round at 4.30pm tomorrow soon as I get home, so tonight I need to clean kitchen, living room, hoover stairs, sort out the washing (it's breeding) and generally tidy the place up a bit. Another one on Wedensday at 10.30am.


    Just grabbing dinner, then will get stairs hoovered and do living room and kitchen when kids are in bed and try and do washing when DH comes home (or maybe just not show estate agent our bedroom!) :rotfl:

    Evening all

    Hugs to all the sick people - condolences to Lil-me on the loss of Sonic.

    Interesting first day at the new office. Lots to take in, lots to think about. Journey wasn't too bad going but a bit slow coming home. I might try another route tomorrow. People friendly and pleasant and the office is nice. I have a lot to learn though in a short time and formulate a strategy. But I will do it.

    My plan for this evening is:
    • Put BM on
    • Put WM on
    • Put ham in oven to bake for dinner tonight then there's cold for sandwiches in the week.
    • Walk dog (she can't come to this site so that's the lunchtime walk gone, so I need to start doing it in the evening again)
    • Do some of the jobs on the list in the living room
    • Pay electric bill
    • Sort out rubbish (bin day tomorrow)
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Arrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and breathe.



    *Takes a deep breathe*, right the whole flunkin wall has to be chipped out in order to take out the now dodgy wires that OH unfortunately drilled through.The cupboard OH fitted on the wall has to brought down so I can't put anything in them so clutter everywhere. Poor OH has worked so hard on the kitchen.

    Now without any electricity along one side of the kitchen and the sink is leaking underneath.

    OH has rigged up the dishwasher via extension leads but can't use the washing machine or sink.

    It's only monday.:rotfl:

    House looks like a pit, helpful suggestions gratefully received.:o

    I have a new shiny kettle.. but it is a different shape and is interfering with my karma... it is making me all antsy just KNOWING I have a new one and I can't even see it from here! I am sure I have ASD's and OCD's and TCP's and USB's and BFG's as well

    Moomin wants sausage and chips for dinner... ARGH.. she specified with sauce and I have none.. oops.. We have cake for afters.. singing cake (it has candles hence 'singing') and I think we have some screaming eyes as well.

    Party invites handled out.. 1 can't come 4 can.. 12 invited... plus 3 extra siblings!!!

    I have decided the shoebox appeal is getting one less shoebox so we can have 2 pass the parcels.. I need to sort a party plan... I LUUUURRRRVVVEE lists!!!!!!!!!

    *skips off in a hobbling kind of 'I'm in pain' fashion to write a party list'

    Triker hun.. if your pinks want to come they are more than welcome as are you.. B can come too but I don't think a party with about 25 children under 7 is his thang

    Ooh ta, will have a word, need the requisite details, you know when, where, who, why, if, :D
