OOh weird im gonna have to reply to myself! :rotfl:

I havent been to bed yet! Decided to TRY and stay awake as yes i fell asleep yesterday about 8:30am and slept through till 6:30pm!!! EEK!! I think my body is punishing my for being sacked by putting itself back onto tesco hours! :mad:

Have washed 2 bowls of dishes (eww some mustve been there at least a week! Im DISGUSTED at myself - even being ill and one leg incapacitated aint an excuse for that!) Am in the process of bleaching my dishcloths before i tackle the rest as they whiff a bit too! Have also bleached the toilet and all the plug holes in the house so it can "soak" for a bit.. im sure the drains/plumbings is dodgy as they smell really easily (and its not just my occasional lapse in cleanliness! :rolleyes: ) Re-organised my pantry too! Everything is nice and neat on shelves and visible so i know exactly what ive got and what i need to buy!

Have finally tackled the dining room... my desk in is here too so i tidied that all up and fixed my shelf that keeps falling off it etc.. even organised my pen pot!! :rotfl: Then i sorted all my mass of papers into neat piles for posting/filing/dealing with then filing etc.... decided at that point and i dont know why.. but to change the furniture around a bit! So i turned the dining table and dropped one leaf... as ive found if i have it fully out i just fill it with junk so less surface to fill now so hope i'll be tidier! Then i pulled out the cabinet in the other alchove to brush behind and instead decided to move it across the room to the centre of one the walls to see if it looked better... it does!!! Except it was heavier than expected and so i dropped it and half dragged it across the floor not noticing the stratches on the laminate till afterwards! :doh: But least the room looks more spacious and grown up now! :j

Going to go up and tackle the bedrooms in a min! Both my room and the spare one look like a bomb has hit it ..... AFTER it had been burgled.... AFTER a herd of elephants and 2 year olds had been set free in there! :rotfl: Need to really really really do it today as my potential housemate is calling round tonight and i need him to see the place looking good... not in its usual mess - not until hes actually moved in! :snow_laug

Got some bread crusts soaking to make bread pudding later... and when sorting out my pantry found a 1/4 full box of frosties with BB date of the end of the month..+ i have a big cereal tupperware thing of them so i need to use them up! Wonder if can make chocolate frostie cakes instead of corn flake cakes without them tasting too weird??

Gotta go to the post office for suuuuure today too.. as really need gas AND electric now! :rolleyes: And need to post my rental dvds back so i can get my next installment of river cottage!

Whos taking bets on me falling asleep again this morning and doing absouletly zilch of my plans?? :rotfl:

have a nice day everyone!

'Morning everyone :hello:

I've not been on the site for a couple of days. Couldn't get through when Martin's email came through and I've been busy since.

Went back to work on Tuesday, but OH doesn't go back till today. He's been decorating the entrance hall and it's looking very nice. Just the wall paper to go on now.

Just taken a loaf out of the breadmaker so the whole house smells of newly baked bread. Yum ...

It will be porridge for breakfast, salad for lunch and chicken legs with something (probably stir fried vegggies) tonight.

Have a lovely OS day everyone!

Morning All

Slightly better night last night, but overheated so that wasn't fun. Still really tired, and I'm probably working through till about 5.30pm, after starting at 5.30am!

Recycling day at work, so will be lugging everything to my car to take to the banks

Sitting here with a green tea, as I'm in training for the half marathon next month - help!!!

Bargain Rzl pleased to hear things look up at work.

Oh we had our first SC meal last night. Mum did a stewed steak with veg and it was very nice, considering I don't like stewed steak:p

I have no idea what's for dinner tonight, or if I'll even be awake to eat it!!

Morning

Not a good night, but lets swiftly move on

WM on will be dried on "MATH" again (my new word for airer, so that everytime he puts stuff in his-he thinks of me saying nooooooooooo dont do it :snow_laug ) DW half full. Toilet cleaned.

Have cleaner coming today, so all bedding will be washed today too, but have 2 sets, so will wash 1 each day today and tomorrow -the dirty ones that is and the clean ones put back on bed that have been ironed

Got to go to hospital later and have a few tests done and see my consultant, then am up at Kings College Hospital monday-which im not looking forward too as it never seems to be good news when I see him. He was the one that put me in hospital for over 2 weeks a few months back. I hope I dont have to go back in

BM needs going on today for the pizza dough as didnt manage it yesterday and the light shades washed too. Have just uploaded my ebay stuff as I forgot to do last night :rolleyes:

DD is having a small party in April as someone she knows is moving, so managed to buy her 8 Bratz Invitations, 8 Bratz Napkins, 8 x Bratz cups and plates and a Bratz table cloths. Also Bratz party bag and ballons. Total paid for everything from Ebay was £13.00 and has all been delivered and is new. fine and dandy :j She has seen a Bratz cake in Asda for £6.99, so should be a very cheap party...which is what i want to hear..LOL. Can you tell she likes Barbie..... :rotfl:

Anyways, need to have something to eat and take me meds.

Breakie:Weetabix or Sandwich DD Scrambled Egg & Toast
Lunch:Jacket Spud, ham and coleslaw.

Mornin!

Bargain Rzl - Im so pleased for you, I have an idea of how youve been feeling recently with regards to work and im happy its all working out for you! Mine has been a little better recently too, am about to have a meeting with boss over the coming week myself to get myself into a new job which will hopefully stop me from being so bored.

Anyhoo - not much else going on, except Next sent me a delivery note yesterday but no parcel attached. Wierd! Had yet another busy day yesterday and i reckon today will be the same, so I might volunteer to go in tomorrow for a few hours and plough through the backlog (if nothing else, I can go in my jeans and sit in the back) - and extra cash for paying off the debts. Im so tired this week though!

The cat managed to stomp on my face this morning and has left me with a 1" scratch on my face - not good. Im off to have my tea and then get ready for work, my skin isnt too good today so ill need to spend time on the make up!

Have a good day all!

morning all,

PP - When I was in Asda the otherv day they had loads of Bratz party favours (little notebooks etc) for about 75p for 4...don't know if that helps. I too have a Bratz mad DD...DH thinks they look like hookers :rotfl: :rotfl:

Anyway, I'm off to see Gp in 10 mins and then into Town to do a few things before having my hair done as off to a work do tonight!

Catch you later!

Hi Everyone,

Well today is really my first OS day

Ive brought pasta to work for my lunch and bran flakes for brekkie which I will have in a min.

Yesterday I brought the new addition to our family home ................................................................................................my slow cooker!!! Yeah I was in argos buying a half price garden vac and happened to check if anymore stock of the MR cooker had arrived and there was ONE I grabbed it quickly Last night a prepared a chilli and left it in the fridge over night and just turned it on etc this morning before leaving for work. I cant wait to get home and have my dinner waiting for me

It came with a few recipes which I will check out and let you all know if they are any good.

So its work all day and yummy chilli and a night vegging out infront of the TV for me. With a few trips back and forth to the washing machine for me.

Thanks for your help everyone and have a great OS weekend :j

Chipps

Morning all

Not done much yet today - but have done my exercise routine (first time in ages.... ouch!)
Bed still wants making, d/w needs emptying, etc... etc
Lunches made & packed, as it's our home ed group today. Have sorted out what's needed for the science experiment I am responsible for organising.

Breakfast: cereal
lunch: sandwiches/ fruit/ choc biccies from Christmas stash (those are just for ds)
dinner: still not made that menu yet, so not sure - but probably sausages. Yesterday we had curry made with some of the leftover turkey (from the freezer)

DH is taking about going to see King Kong tonight, not really my cup of tea, but ds will enjoy it.

Morning All,

Bargain Rzl - FANTASTIC news about the job, what a way to bring in the new year aye!

Johanne - Crikey woman, I hope you've managed to sleep by now, just reading your post tires me out!

Scuzz - At least its the weekend tomorrow :j

PP - Fingers (and toes!) crossed for you, I hope the hospital trip goes well.

Well, I've woken today with an absolute stinking head cold. You know the one, head aching, ears ringing, eyes watering, throat aching, bunged right up. Typical isnt it. Serves me right for going out in the freezing cold yesterday with the kids.

DS for some reason known onlyto himself refused to sleep in his bewd for more than 10 mins at any given time last night. Consequently I spent the entire night perched on the edge of the couch cause he wanted to hold my hand.

MIL due this morning - eek. Must get cleaning, its really not done up to her standards yet.

I am going to try making falafels for my dinner tonight, havent had em in ages and they are really yummy. Kids can have spag bol and dh..........I've no idea what dh can have. If I try to give him th flalfels he'll think I'm poisoning him.

Righto, off for coffee.
Chat later,
Al.
