Morning all

I am back from my travels. Had a horrendous night in an awful hotel on Thurs night (music til 3am) then a busy all day meeting then 4 hour journey home before dinner out with the in laws! So a long lie in was just what I needed this morning - managed til 10.15 which isn't bad!

DH is busy cleaning again - bless him! He's cleaning the kitchen windows and surrounds and various other bits He's so thorough it always looks fab! I do want to get a bit of other flying done though as I've not managed any this week. So after we've had been out for lunch my list is:

top up shop
bathroom - loo, sink, bath, tiles, shelf, floor
bedroom - hoover, make bed,
wm x 3 (1) (2) (3)
repot parsley
S&S kitchen
sweep kitchen floor
empty bag from weekend

HHC abandoned OH's just phoned to say Santa is at the Scout hut so we're going to take Ds2 to see him. I suppose i'd better get in the shower:rolleyes: .

SummerMoon

Good Morning all,
Thanx for all the happy birthday wishes. Not feeling so scared of being 31 now hehe.
Altho I do keep saying I am going to age backwards now so I should be 29!!! lol

Got to go and oick the kids up from my mams soon, wont be back till after 6 so it's going to be minimal flying for me today. Gonna leave DP with instructions to put up the Christmas decs up before we get back.

Suppose I better go and find something to wear.
Catch you all later.

embb

Whoa that's a massive list Nicky you too Holly :eek:

I've cleaned the pc./spare room....and hoovered it, boy was it grotty, I wont go in to detail but I'm surprised I haven't got rats all sparkly now though. Kitchen next, and that's just as bad

I must find some banging tunes, I NEED tunes when I'm emptying the DW.....for some strange reason ahaaa!.....me found A HA!

kassey

I have done 3x laundry
2 x bags recycling
2 x bags of rubbish
SS the bathroom
Unloaded the DW
Made a big pot of minestrone soup
I am going to sit down with a coffee.

1st tree done - you're brave summermoon, asking your OH to put decs up - my DH is a poppet and has many talents, but having an artistic eye is not one of them (he does make up in other areas tho' )

Good life xmas special is especially poignant this year with so many people struggling financially - a real getting back to basics of being with people you enjoy rather than throwing money at a problem - i'm actually loooking forward to Xmas this year as we've all agreed to the 1 pressie rule for once,especially my nan, whose xmas stocking gifts would usually fit an elephant with water retention, 25 gifts later and we're all still unwrapping!!!!! - nearly makes up for the fact that i'm working on 24-27th Dec and New Year's Day too

nicki/holly - don't overdo it

kazmeister

reporting in again

Not too much done (and feeling much better thanx to food/ibuprofen and copious amounts of tea and then coffee)

• shower is all scrubbed as clean as its going to get (needs the sealer ripping out and redoing as cant get the mouldout of it)
• I'm all scrubbed
• and face painted
• and hair dried properly - cant let visitors see me in my usual weekend state and rather them see the house in a state than me !!!
• presents wrapped that are being collected
• got OH to go to bed early for a change
• Washing all collected and now in a heap in kitchen
• spent 1/2 hour on phone to my brother who I dont see or speak to often enough

Off to do some more

TTFN

PS I'll send my cards to you so that your boys can play postmen
