    Hope you're feeling better soon PF...not sure what you've decided to do..(only skimmed the thread) but hope you've stayed off...get yourself better or you'll still be ill in January!
    :eek::eek::eek:

    I jolly well hope not!

    Justamum - that's what my SIL calls it, so it's stuck. Others probably have different names for it. It's broken digestives with melted syrup, marg, chocolate, mixed and put in a tray, then melted chocolate on top. Not for the calorie conscious, that's for sure!:rotfl:

    I took one look in DS's room, gave him a black bag and said he could do a HHC in there while I did one in the "soon-to-be" spare room. He did quite well (and so did I) but we're having a lunch break now. I didn't fancy anything, but need to eat for the pain killers so settled on a piece if toast with a banana. :confused: I'm more thirsty than hungry.

    I've got to go and collect a prescription for DH later. He said the ones he was given before were making his throat swell, so the doc's giving him something different to try. I'm hoping they've done a new sick note for me as well.

    More washing and tumble drying done, but I doubt if I'll do any more flying, other than half hour bursts in the spare room and encouraging DS to do the same in his bedroom.

    Emily - How's the packing going and when are you hoping to move?

    Any news from Mudbath or ZLS? - I bet they're lurking out there and polishing their staples! :rotfl:

    Back later. x

    Afternoon all

    Home from work and doing my little bit of shopping (ehich I should prolly put away...) first load in washer and dishwasher emptied. Going to re fill it and do handpots in a min and fold clean and dry laundry... might HHC 2.30-3.00pm, think that'd be a good plan

    Lil me, hope oh is feeling okay today
    Tooch, must've missed it before, has lil one got the dreaded chicken pox (dumdumdummmmmmmmmmm)
    Summer Moon, can I steal your energy, your all guns blazing today

    On the subject of what I'd save in a fire (other than mine and oh skins) how sad is it that my games consoles come out top, on which topic I have got the Tomb Raider game for the PS3 and its absolutly awesome!!!!!!!

    Going to put the shopping away then I'll start that HHC, anyone in?

    yes, we are housebound till Wed at the earliest!! and what fun we are having already,NOT. She is not ill in herself telly has been watched, colouring has been done, now we'll see how long the DS can keep her occupied while i do some more chores

    Took me the entire HHC to
    Round up washing from various radiators and hanging places(trying not to use dryer to much)
    Fold and put away washing
    Round up all the dirty washing from upstairs

    Time for a quick cuppa then off to pick up kiddie winks. Need to have a quick whip around and mop floors when I get back. Just found out that DP's half-brother(who he hasnt seen for about 15 years) is coming over for a drink tonight..... I LOVE FLYLADY !!!!!
    I'd normally be in a panic about now hehe.

    MACAW... EAT BETTER, no snacks, no junk
  • I'm in again this week, keep falling behind by the end of the weeks, but the house is usually looking better week by week. I really need to get myself sorted by christmas, so much to do and not enough time to do it. h, and my new super duper washing machine has blown up and the engineer can't come till Thursday, so I'm going here there and everywhere putting my washing in other peoples machines (sigh)

    Here are my extras for this week:

    1. Read meter and send to british gas
    2. Pay bills - next and credit card
    3. Finish Xmas cards and send
    4. Finish wrapping presents
    5. Make mince pies and shortbread in nice shapes
    6. Sort out megans toys ready to make room for xmas
    7. Keep the snowdon sized mountain of clothes
    8. Get skinny clothes back down from the attic (Thanks baby Ffion!)
    9. Buy a nice pair of jeans that stay up!

    I'm sure theres more but that will do for now!!

    P.s. sorry if i can't manage to catch up on the posts, I have a 2 year old and a 5 month old and hardly have time to sit down!!
