    Yep shall be going again! DD2 still whingy and clingy poor girl. Might give her some ibuprofen as her nose is so sore.

    One thing I really need to crack is my clothes problem. I'm drowning under our clothes which don't have a home because I don't have enough drawer space, clothes to be stored and other bits and pieces. I was going to sort it on the spare bed but I can't because I have DD2 and I can't leave her to run around upstairs, when she's asleep it's in the room with the spare bed in! Wondering whether this evening it's worth getting Mr G to go around and find any loose clothes and bring them all to me in the lounge and I'll have a major sort out. Then any that are sorted can be put where they need to go. It's really getting me down. I've already been through ones that don't fit for me so I don't have any I want to get rid of, they just need organising!
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    Done the important bit - I've caught up with the thread!

    Just going to wave hi, and offer hugs where needed, as I want to get stuck into the kitchen. I have to pick up DD at 10.30, and want the kitchen done by then - skates on!

    mmmm well that didn't go according to plan :(

    I loaded the DW, hoovered the landing, emptied the hoover and defluffed the beater bar, then when I started to use it again it died on me :( must be a break in the lead. Dad is off to a meeting so will try and call in later to have a look.

    Plenty of other stuff to keep me busy though.

    Good morning!

    Well we've had snow and I have slipped over in it already, well actually pulled over by the dog who was trying to chase DS2 to school. DS1s taxi was very late so he was trying to run there. He seems fine this morning apart from a little anxious about Roman's day but thrilled with his shiney armour.

    Managed to get myself booked in to the hairdressers on Thursday morning :D my usual one of course not the expensive one. My Mam phoned this morning to tell me again that she'd changed her plans, she had had a few too many last night I think.

    Kazm I think you have done really well, you were spending much more weren't you?
    Triker woooop woooop well done!!!!
    polka good luck with the first paid order, be careful not to over advertise!
    AnW'sMum don't you dare switch it on, unplug it, just incase there is a break in the cable.

    Right, DP was still determined when I went to bed about going to get the tree today, he's like an overexcited child but pretends to be all bah humbug. I need a shower because I feel pleurgh. However I put a washer load on, doh, so I need to wait until that is finished first.

    List for me for today

    Dailies
    Dogs duties, meals ??, [STRIKE]banking[/STRIKE], post, DW emptied/refilled, [STRIKE]1 washer load[/STRIKE], S&S bathroom,[STRIKE] S&S kitchen[/STRIKE], vacuum through downstairs. Make pack ups & sort uniforms for morning.

    Just had a 'debate' with HMRC as they want to fine my company £100 for late paperwork, they have just admited that they had the paperwork 3 days BEFORE they put it on their system, and that is what made it late!!

    They are now 'considering' squashing the notice or not!
