We're having a break at the mo, boys are helping me by putting EVERYTHING in the sitting room into a box or in the bin, rubbish in the bin, to be sorted stuff in a box. Then I can much easier sort through all the boxes, it's the getting it off floor level I struggle with.......there will be a few I think. It's picking up off the floor I struggle with at the mo and considering the **** belongs to them or DP they can help! Oh and before anyone thinks, how? I've bribed them, that is their motivation! (they are still objecting but I am ignoring that bit)

g&b we're with you, me and the 2 mischief monsters!

soappie - that sounds like a plan! My nails are also flaking so I think I need to get some washing up gloves anyway.

toochoosey - I have at least one of those! He couldn't go to bed 10 minutes ago as he was still hungry, so he has cucumber now. A few minutes and he'll be sent upstairs or frogmarched!

Back a bit sore today, have to remember to do those exercises I was given!

I may have been proved wrong she went up just after 6.45, to watch a dvd, only called down once(so far), with abad belly - she needed toilet - again......so, so far, so good, fingers crossed........

Well, dinner's been scoffed. Goulash(ish) and rice t'was yummy.

I'm ok thanks for asking Toots been a bit blue today. Not sure why particularly, but blue nonetheless. You're making me laugh about my budget mantra! It does feel good to have a plan in place. And knowing me, I'll be trying to pare down the budgets even more so that I can clear it quicker. Lentil city in our house!!!! Glad you're having a fun and relaxing time with Aunty. :wave:

Well we did good, nearly everything that was 'abandoned' in the living room or hall has been 'boxed' goodness it looks like we're moving house :rotfl: 4 boxes of books, games, magazines, paperwork, dvds, toys, games, general **** etc and a bin full (which I need to sort into recycling/non recycling) which means now the floor is clear (the stuff left is on ledges and window sill) I can put the boxes onto the sofa and clean properly. I want it all OUT of the room so we can keep it clear for the tree coming in etc. Then need to sort through the boxes.....fun....most of it belongs to the kids I think, probably a box full worth of DPs that should be in the garage, I mean, bicycle lights and chainlube (for his quadbike chain) why are they in here (amongst other random abandoned items inc 12 empty cans and 3 pairs of disgusting stinky socks he's hidden out of sight grrrrr!!! Vile thing he is!)

g&b how did you get on?

Toochoosey - I always get the primary teacher and TA a tasteful tree decoration at Christmas. I hope they put it on their tree and each christmas think of my child briefly and the rest of the year it gets packed away with the decs.

SS hugs hun. I had a big black cloud decend on me for a couple of hours today - no reason but I think it is blowing over now.

Hardly any flying today and tomorrow have kids learning reviews so not sure what I'll get done then.

Thinking about getting another kitten this weekend. A friend has 5 and is having trouble finding homes. Kids are really keen but not sure what our resident 2 mogs will think. Hubby doesn't get a say but he'll be fine about it.
