    Back early as DD2 will not settle. Put her dressing gown on her and you would have thought I was killing her! Have a feeling all her back teeth seeming to come through at once won't help so going to give her something for that. Hard to work when you have a screaming child grabbing at your legs wanting a drink of milk though!
    Fluttering about an inch off the ground, I may fly properly one day and soar in the clouds!

    Pigpen, never nice but worse this time of year isn't it. Pick kittens from tree and give them a cuddle from me x

    Thinking of all those with sadness in their hearts aswell as joy at this time of year xx

    Reorganised cupboard to put my new latte glasses in my Dad got me, emptied DW (they were sat in there waiting for a new home) going to do another HHCish challenge until 11am (get DP up then I think) and get it refilled, kitchen more cleared and some junk chucked out!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Lil-me - I'll look out for the Police Station - you never know, there might be one left in these 'ere parts.

    Well, my second half hour challenge I:
    • Put christmas linen on the line to dry
    • Took down nets from my bedroom and put them in the washing machine
    • Swept under the furniture in the living room (giving myself a dead leg in the process when I bumped into the coffee table I'd moved!
    • Cleaned the glass/pictures in the living room (but not the windows)
    • Washed my thimble collection (drip drying at the moment)
    I now ought to do the windows in my bedroom whilst the nets are down.

    lol, our kittens used to do that:D You would just see the tree gently shaking and a wee set of eyes peeking out:p

    In my HHC i did the dishes and S&S'd the kitchen:o My mum phoned and then my dad phoned:rolleyes:

    Poor mum is having a rubbish week at work, someone tried to commit suicide in one of her buildings on monday and left a hell of a mess:eek: Then in another building there is suspected asbestos:eek: She is a little stressed i think, hoping nothing goes wrong in her other 1998 buildings.
    The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.
