    I've done two loads of washing, including my bedding. Dusted bedrooms and DD2 put the vacuum round up there for me. Then I vacuumed through downstairs. Washing is out on the line but not really drying. Need to get into the bottom of my wardrobe this afternoon to sort out some stuff, after Neighbours.

    Am back from hairdresser and it looks fab:D Very pleased as it was looking rubbish recently :p
    Kind of annoyed at DDs school, it is their nativity play and DD forgot to hand in her slip to say we wanted tickets and now they are sold out. The letter we got had no mention of limited availability, if i had known they were in short supply i would have taken the slip in myself to make sure it got to the right person. Its not the end of the world but it would have been nice to see her. Just having a quick sandwich and a cuppa then will start tidying.


    If its not too late ask around in the playground often tickets are bought for grannys etc who arent able to make it

    g&b go and stand, I would, half the time they have spares as some people don't turn up anyway. My sons schools limit to 2 per family then a waiting list for extras.
    OJK i am sometimes the same, once I am motivated I just tend to go for it, so for example HHCs on here I just get on a roll. When DS2 was home I was a bit more motivated so did more then too.
    Summermoon every day, make them check and tidy their rooms, it's the only way. As soon as I slip out of that routine they turn into bombsites.
    jjef :D stampety stamp, just wish it'd hurry up and stamp them so I can order again from fleabay

    DPs present arrived :D only ordered it yesterday off a seller on ebay so very impressed. Hidden and deleted emails from them and it off my won list to stop him snooping!

    Going to complete the kitchen then take woofs out (bit earlier than usual) take boys straight through to Dad's after school then off to play area. Argh. Haven't wrapped Dad's presents....
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Stand and wait in their staff room for them to find you a spare seat, I think they will ;)
