Hi all
Well boys bedroom was a mammoth task - all day saturday and all day sunday to paint and put up the bunk beds (2 hrs assembly time my butt!) and drawer/toy chests. Still, we're getting there now. Lots of the boxes have gone - only for more to be delivered this morning for the ktichen boooo. Oh well - not gonna let that stress me anymore!
Boys xmas dvds arrived this morning yey - so they'll be getting them under the tree from the elves this week

Jammy I know what you mean about the point of scrapbooking.. sticking things.. glitter everywhere.. having loads of fun.. BUT seriously.. your pages DO NOT look like a 5 year olds work.. They DO look like a ton of fun though

I'm falling to sleep again already best get back to bed!!

I did my boys bedroom last week and I do not envy you on that task. It was an absolute nightmare.

I not only do the school run in my nightwear, I've also been to the drycleaners, the supermarket and even the pub! (Tho' I keep my coat on).

HA HA HA!!!

You lot do make me laugh! Is it a north south thing (not that I'm trying to create a north south divide or anything!) but several people have said they do it or know someone who does!?

Maybe loads of people do it here but I never notice!!

**OFF TOPIC**
Anything that Jammy says about me is a complete lie.. don't listen to her..




I caught her posting deals on HUKD WHAT a traitor.. I was only there because I ended there by accident.. tsk...

Dirty traitor.. If you were a tart you would be one of those bitter lemon curd ones that look nice but are very sour!

I use the threat of me turning up at school in my PJ's to keep DD in line :rotfl:.

She thought I'd gone to Tesco in them last weekend and disowned me . Was ok when I explained it was only the top and I kept my coat done up. Might be something to do with them being bright red and covered in penguins .

She also doesn't like my furry hat but told her I was wearing as it was freezing and it wa tough if she didn't like it - sometimes wonder who the grown up is here (she's 8)

Not done so well today got final cards to post and ones for work and got half way there and realised they were sat in a nice organised pile on the dining room table. Was also going to nip into Boots but some inconsiderate people had run into each other and caused a traffic jam so will have to wait till Friday

She is so mean that meanie Mel!!

:rotfl:I caught her on HUKD instead of MSE! tut tut....I of course was only over there looking for traitors nothing to do with me posting a deal :rotfl::eek::o


Anyway back on topic! I am SO happy with how organised I feel!! I have post its galore on my desk and feel like Ive made some good headway with xmas last night :T
