    Morning all

    One load of washing done, it was out on the line for a couple of hours until it rained so it's draped round indoors now. Only showers so far but it's very windy.

    Cleaned the bathroom and toilet properly. I might have a new bathroom but I really really hate cleaning it. I'd rather clean the whole house than clean the bathroom. No matter what you do there's always a smear somewhere when you think you've finished. Pah!

    Did the computer desk yesterday.

    Watched Corrie (v. important).

    Ick poor you vanilla

    Well it took me 15 minutes just to do the floor of a small downstairs toilet! I had to clear an area so I can put the vacuum cleaner in it as I keep tripping over heads from it. And I found a part for the mini-vacuum which I've been searching for for ages!

    Maybe I'll just concentrate on the kitchen/diner for now and the lounge when small girl is asleep. Right off I go again! Going to put some parsnip and swede soup together and hope it tastes alright, and then do the dishwasher.

    Very tred today as DH came in from Church group and wanted to talk! Hence sleeping at 11.30 not my usual earlier! DS also been coughing at night with his wee cold :(, but he seem ok, I cuddled him after some medicine and he fell asleep into my arms before being put back in cot. Went into his room this morning to find he had stripped off his gro-bag and sleep suit and was standing there in vest and tights! He is a wee houdini! Hopefully we will be washingmachineless no longer after tomorrow, phoned to see when they are coming and they did not have me on the list, however they did have us under DH's name for an afternoon delivery :).
    Ok, better get sweeping the floor beneath DS's chair (messy), pm will be knitting, and baking, and maybe card making (may be even all three lol).

    Oh my, black rugs, I thought it was bad for showing muck, there was some visable bits but it does cover up a lot. I've ended up doing it twice (hence I took so long) ***runs off to empty dirty water thing and throw up because of the vile contents!***

    Oh and after that I must get paperwork sorted then off to meeting, so will catch up with you all this evening xxxx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • 11 PEOPLE ... ON A ROPE
    Eleven people were hanging on a rope,
    under a helicopter.
    10 men and 1 woman.
    The rope was not strong enough to carry them all,
    so they decided that one had to leave,
    because otherwise they were all going to fall.
    They weren't able to choose that person,
    until the woman gave a very touching speech.
    She said that she would voluntarily let go of the rope,
    because, as a woman,
    she was used to giving up everything
    for her husband and kids or for men in general,
    and was used to always making sacrifices
    with little in return.
    As soon as she finished her speech,
    all the men started clapping . . . . . . .

    :D That always makes me giggle Pink Fairy.

    Well I've done the dishwasher and the soup is on. My tummy is rumbling though I'm so hungry!

    Just going to go and do the dishes and then I can stick some cream on my hands as they're so dry :(

    I have that niggly feeling again that I have to do something or I should be doing something important but I can't think what!
