Just checked the Asda website and I can't book a delivery for any later than the 14th December ATM...so I've marked on my calendar to book it on the 2/3rd December :rotfl::rotfl: Just going to pop onto MySupermarket and add some stuff to my list there... catch you later.

Kitchens - goody. :j I've started doing mine on a Sunday so it's already all clean and shiny.

My plan is that I do a decent breakfast for everyone so they don't keep coming into my kitchen between 10 and 11.15 when I'm cleaning and listening to the Archers :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

boddy

Im in again pigpen.

Welcome fertyskids.

lil_me

emily no it's fine, I am thrilled for you both!
welcome fertyskids
hugs for holly!

I'm in, with my new MACAW of

I WILL NOT BUY ANYTHING I DON'T NEED AND I WILL POST EVERYTHING I DO BUY AND WHY

As I said this doesn't include milk that is delivered or xmas presents but includes EVERYTHING else I spend money on apart from bills. See how little I can spend this week, put it in my night out fund for cocktails Shame myself into not spending and refilling that freezer!

Well hopefully we won't have to move just yet, if landlady is looking to buy elsewhere but regardless I am contacting council tomorrow and will keep the enquiries I have made. I might even go to see that bungalow. DP said he remembers me saying the only reason I would move now is if I had to or if I found a nice bungalow, so says I should see if it's still there and any exclusions, also see where it is, I have a rough idea. I have meetings on wed, thurs, friday next week. I should check the calendar/diary really.

Hello fertyskids you are very welcome here - dont be scared we dont bite (well most dont!!!) the other mums will tell you how manic their lives are so you are not alone!
Just dive in and take the rooms as they come along - do what you can and dont stress about the bits you miss they will come up next week again. Your home didnt get in a mess overnight so dont expect it to get tidy overnight!!! baby steps is the way to do - do NOt try to do it all at once - you will wear yourself ou and sicken yourself too (believe me - we've all done!)
A new room is added everyday so by the end of the week you will have been round the house! After 2 or 3 weeks you will see a difference and everything gets easier each week.
Welcome to the madhouse - the support and encouragement is the best!!

I'm in but dailies only this week - very very manic week at work :eek: (large reorg on 1 Dec), so please don't expect any sense when I'm home - chocolate & alcohol will be called for I'm afraid!

Next week (fingers tightly crossed) - should be better. Had better be as that's my week to sort out Christmas (at least that's what my calendar says) :rotfl:

Back to the grindstone...
