Afraid I didn't get much done after Wednesday.. I just couldn't get motivated. Friday I went out all day so didn't even look at anything on Friday I'm afraid. And yesterday I just felt like carpe. Today I am feeling a bit better and am ready to tackle various bits, albeit slowly.

*Hugs* to everyone, so sorry I haven't gone through the post to see who is doing what/feeling icky etc, so have a massive group hug from me.

Craftyscholar OMG what is wrong with people would it really have been that hard for them to bring it home and put it in there own bin, dirty gits.

KICK
Now shift!!!

Daft part was I think it was one of those proper slightly scented bags designed for 'poop'. Why would you get those then not have a carrier to put them in?

Mind you now I have discovered that it is milder out there I might go and do some leaf clearing.

Gryfon

I say clothes horse but bacon sarnies here

Ok I have two big children who are ignoring me and messing around when I've asked them to help and a small child having a tantrum as I've said she can't have any chocolate! My throat is sore and my back aches and the housework is laughing at me :mad::rolleyes:

Anyone want to swap?

Dustykitten

DS2's room tidied but still need to do the cleaning, just having a lovely slice of cold quiche form yesterday's dinner.

I say maiden or airer and bacon sandwich - I'm a southie/north londoner but posh now I'm in leafy Hertfordshire.

Need to get back to the bedroom before I loose the will - hubbie to be dispatched to corner shop to buy bread.

Well I managed to sleep for most of yesterday... got up at 4pm So the only flying I did was to clean up the utility room now the builder has gone (he left some stuff in one of the cupboards, so that's now in the garage), and one load of laundry. Had a bit of a go at packing up pressies last night, so I can now see my study floor, if not the desk. I'm still haven't really got a 'big' present for my brother, and have FAR too much stuff for my mum... I think I'm going to do stockings for the whole family as well, as I've got lots of little bits and it saves wrapping them all individually!

I did very well in Oxfam on Friday, they've got lots of great fair trade stuff (including candles with zebras & giraffes on them, spice-scented candles, organic fairtrade spices, soap, bath oils etc), so think I have enough stuff, it might just need a bit of rearranging...

Today, I've done the important stuff... one load of laundry & skimmed the thread...

I have to go to the wine merchant today to pick up a case of port that my dad ordered, get the house tidy (even if not clean), transfer money from my savings account into my current account before its too late, and pack for my work trip AND Christmas all in one go.

Seems like the rest of you are getting lots done, so hopefully it's contagious...

Edit... as part of flying have just opened last week's post and my mortgage rate's gone down again to 4.0% from Jan!

I'm just back from the Disney Store. Bad news for pigpen's mum. I asked the manager to check with the Princes St store. She didnt need to. She knew that the organisation is sold out completely! Sorry pigpen's mam

Radiator painted, cards written & pressy wrapped.

Off out now to pictures, then to drop off DD1 for a sleepover will visit inlaws on way back and then its ironing for me. Till later

Ex has just picked up DD soooo HHC in her bedroom. I am so embarrassed at how much dust there is in there. I've been letting her do it and from the quick look each time I've gone in it looked fine. Time to give her a lesson in what to dust and how to do it ready for the new year I think :rolleyes: Now where's that bedroom list.....

What's MOTD?

It is Match of the Day. And MOTD2 is Match of the Day 2 which is on a Sunday night. I am extremely sad when it comes to football. If Tom from Strictly was a premiership footballer, I could tell you LOADS about him LOL
