    Hello all,

    Can't join in the HHC sorry, all done for today, its me time now before the oven cooks the tea :D


    Monday Mayhem..
    S&S kitchen - couldn't do this as OH had got the TD pulled out somthing to do with plaster not going off.
    Level Two
    S&S bathroom & loo - OH decorating in there as well, but did dust the loo :rotfl: well, windowsill, skirting boards and door, not much else.
    [strike]Clean the oven and hob now you've eaten your feast! It shouldn't take long![/strike][strike]
    [/strike] - can sort of strike that, did it yesterday morning and boy did it need it :o going to try to keep on top of it, I used to clean one shelf a night after tea when we washed up, easy that way rather than the whole lot at once.

    Clean the fridge to make sure none of the christmas goodies are going to waste.. find a recipe if you think they might!
    Level Three
    HHI .. We will not have any left for New Year! - what HHI sorry
    [strike]Catch up on some laundry .. [/strike] Laundry bin only half full - thats good :rotfl: clothes on dryer and in TD for tonight (economy 7)

    Extras
    1. [strike] HHC in your bedroom.. most look like a war zone! [/strike] cleaned the skirting board at the back of the bed. Want to tackle the cupboard over the wardrobe, might make that a HHC for Thursday, (might be out all day tomorrow and one day of work on Wednesday :rolleyes:
    2. Dust round the whole downstairs - took xmas decs down
    3. do a crazy HHC decluttering downstairs
    4. [strike]Make sure you spend at least half an hour doing something for yourself! - [/strike] doing the now.
    Two other things I can think of, cut out picture from xmas cards to use as tags, first year I havn't kept them all. Also, the paperwhite bulbs had gone over now so I've cut the foliage down and stored them in a paper bag in the entry, should be fine next year :money:

    Have not got as much done today as I wanted but time yet. Did manage to give the kitchen a good clean though.

    Went to see mum and got all her xmas stuff out for her to look at again. Sorted her wardrobe and got rid of a few things that are worn.

    Went to DDs for a cuppa then ended up going shopping with her.

    Back home and discovered I have a leak under the kitchen sink. Think Ive sorted that hopefully.

    Gryfon Glad you have been to the docs. Hugs.

    Soappie Quick work on the futon. Handy that your neighbour wanted the wood.

    Off to do bathroom and then a HHI if anyone wants to join me.
  • Kazm - have you made an appointment for tomorrow - nag nag nag!!!!!:rotfl:

    dusty healing hugs for your Nan and a hug for you too - I know exactly what you mean about families GGGGRRRHHH!!!
    dusty can I also ask you about feeding the birds - you mentioned it before - i have bacon fat that I cut off the rashers - does it need to be cooked first - do I chop it up very small - do they like the rind bits strung up to peck at - do you put it all on the ground or up on something? Sorry for all the questions but have never realy given it much thought before! doh!!!

    gryfon now see you were worrying for nothing - silly girl!!! hope you feel better soon

    toots xx

    p.s. I have been ironing all afternoon - its going ok butnot making much of a dent yet!!!
    Peace will be mine

    Hiya
    I keep meaning to say that anyone with a quidco account can get free downloads for their ipod. There's a different one each day for the 12 days of christmas. Just go to their website. I'm sure most of you are already looking but this is just a reminder.

    Dogs home and snoring. DH and children have popped out to someone's house for a drink. I'm snoozing here still xx
  • Ahhhh..... love love love Mamma Mia!!

    Blinkin kids though, no sense of decorum! Yapping through the "boring" bits, (ie mega emotional bits) Ah well, I love it tho.

    Well, I s'pose I'd better get on with something now. *yawn* When are those children back to school? :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Someone give me tips for not murdering my hormonal 11yr old DD1 ????? She's in the being VERY LOUD and cross phase of the month. Everyone else is wrong, she hasn't done anything to anyone, ever! I could cheerfully dispatch her to her room for the week or so! :mad:

    I'm pooped! New futon finally put together (half an hour to put in four screws with butterfly nuts :rolleyes:). New mattress on it. Old mattress in back of car ready for dump tomorrow. Rest of the front room looks like a tip! I also discovered some mildew behind the old futon. I must start going in there more regularly and opening windows for a bit. DiL dries her washing in there and does her ironing with the steam on and I think 'open a window' doesn't come into her vocabularly!

    I'm sooo tempted to have a G&T now but I will force myself to do another hour in that room before I shake hands with Gordon again.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
