Fab news pigpen

Ok DD2 is in bed, the other two I think have taken themselves outside to play which could be interesting as I haven't cleaned up after the dog yet So I suppose that's my cue to get on with some work. Although going for a nap sounds so tempting :rotfl:

Glad its all getting sorted pigpen

In my HHC I managed to do all of the washing up. I miss having a dishwasher - it was so much quicker and easier to just load and unload at each end of the cycle. Also lost internet connection but luckily had my list in a word doc. So:

Monday Mayhem..

1. [STRIKE]Make sure you have all the shopping you need to take you through to next week.. milk and bread especially! [/STRIKE] Need to go back for OH's crackers for lunchboxes.:rolleyes:
2. [STRIKE]Make sure the last of the presents are wrapped[/STRIKE]
3. [STRIKE]S&S the kitchen[/STRIKE] Wiped sides and top of oven whilst sponge was to hand.
4. S&S the bathroom/s and loo's
5. Mop Floors in bathroom and kitchen
6. Clean the oven and hob ready for your feast!
7. Clean the fridge to accommodate you bounty of food
8. Change any bedding you need to
9. Catch up on the laundry - put another load in the machine.
10. Phone someone you 'forgot' to post a card to in time.. just so they know you've not forgotten them...
11. Spend at least half an hour doing something for yourself.. reading.. relaxing.. goggling... remember you are important too.
12. Change pet bedding and wash blankies etc.. we don't want them putting you off your christmas sprouts!
13. Dust round the whole downstairs
14. Do a crazy HHC decluttering downstairs

Is anyone up for another HHC 3-3.30?

3pm and nothing done yet! Not even got the excuse of work. Took the boys for new school shoes, to see Santa, to Mcdonalds and then to soft play. Ds1 is now colouring in and DS2 is watching The Polar Express which arrived today so everyone is quiet.

Time to get on with something practical. Cup of tea and a few sneaky chapters of my Ngaio Marsh I think.....

No, I shall force myself to do a HHC first. 3-3.30 anyone?

Good news then pigpen!

I've been attempting to sort out the conservatory a bit - DD asked why? she says we're not going to be in here on Christmas eve you know! My thinking is though that if I clear a bit of the conservatory I can put my work stuff in there which is currently littered all around the DR.

I've also loaded the WM and sorted DD's Christmas lights for her.

Wondering whether to nip to Kidsgrove as I wanted to see if the Home Bargains there had got hte throws I wanted but may just leave it until tomorrow. Better get dressed soon though - before DH gets in around 5 anyway!

... .... And as sick as this sounds at least its only signed off her..... when sarah was born she signed the congratulations card off her and FIL who had died 15 days previously which really upset both me and OH lots . Maybe she didnt do it on purpose and just "forgot" but i have gritted my teeth every card ive opened off her since.. just in case....

Given what you have told us about your MIL I can see why you would be upset at that but I do remember it was my nephew's b'day less than 2 weeks after DH died and I could not bring myself not to put DH's name on the card. I deliberated over it for hours, do I include his name or not, do I even send a card (as I was certainly not in the mood) or not. In the end I did put his name on because it felt right for me. My sis understood why and was ok with it. I always put DH's name on A & W's b'day cards.

Just wanted to put the other side of the coin so to speak, hope I haven't cause offence/upset as it is not my intention.
