OOOPS
Sorry for the time glitch folks (wishful thinking on my part!)

In my HHC I have
Washed up
Dried Dishes
WM on
S&S Kitchen
Helped DS1 put the Mega Blocks away (I had to turn off the TV to keep his attention long enough but he is very good at tidying up)

Just had OH shouting and swearing at me from the bedroom for leaving doors open, apparantly I'm disturbing his sleep :eek: by letting too much light into the room - well of course I told the lazy git to get out of bed and close his own bloody doors :mad:

So I am now in a bad mood again - I really hate having him at home, we get on fine when he's at work, or at weekends when we go and do things but I like to get stuff done and he likes to sleep/drink so our interests don't really go together and I WANT HIM OUT OF THE DAMN BEDROOM SO I CAN CLEAN IT !!!!!!!

SarahS hope your friend's LO is better soon, sending lots of healing vibes his way
EE hope your DSs eye is better this morning, kids eh, xray I think is the only way to check for a break
Julu mine does that if I paste into Word first, I paste/type into wordpad instead.
Liney hope you have a safe journey
Cazzie congratulations
Mudbath well done to your DD
AnW'sMum unfortunatly more of DPs friends have booked into the events down your way so will have to see if one cancels at some point. With the sweater, DS2 needs about a 12/13 year olds (he's very big for his age).....if they have one that size next time you are there that would be great, our local Sainsbugs doesn't have those or could have got them (called Mam to ask her)
Dusty, yes bottle green, thanks I will have a look in Asda aswell when I am next there as we have a couple that do clothes inc a living store, will let you know if I don't find one. How is your Nan? Oh and Week 2 Master bedroom is my main struggle.....did fine on week 1.

Morning all! Hugs for all those who need one/would like one, in fact no, you can all have one like it or not.

Paying for yesterday working in the cold with bending/lifting etc, won't be going there today to do more as I struggled to get back this morning. Took dog with me to school to save coming back to take him, went back via the fields and seriously thought I wasn't going to get home. Took pain relief now, considering buying thermawraps but they are a bit costly, anyone else tried those to reduce back pain? Seriously considering going back to bed DPs in bed still, must have been 3am or after when he went to bed last night but suppose he's at work tonight.

Right, calls to make, so I need to find the house phone.....Posties just been and sounds like he emptied the entire bag through my letter box so I best go see if there is anything important, with my grabber as I can't bend Edited to add 14 envelopes!!!! (Oh and a big pile of junk mail) Woohoooo one is DPs Argos card, balance 0.00!!! First time in about 5 years! (Oh and a 15% off everything at Homebase when you use your card voucher which always happens when you pay things off with them!)

ragz...why is he still in bed? Go in there and just get on, tell him if he doesn't like it he can go and sleep in the car. Also swearing at you?

Ok I'm back off into the kitchen. Maybe I'll be finished by 12 at this rate :rotfl:

SummerMoon

OMG I am so tired. Havent moved off the settee since my last post. I really want to get on but the body just is NOT willing lol.

Gryfon

Bah, just had to pay £65 for tuba loan for a year. Why can't my girl choose something small, like a clarinet or flute!

He's in bed because he's "ill" apprently and isn't working again today, though he was fine last night. I think he knows if he gets up I'll make him do stuff so he's hiding. I may not have been the most supportive GF recently, I do nag and it stresses me out when he gets ill cos I know we'll have no money if he can't work but he's taken a few days off over xmas for hangovers so I now have no sympathy for actual illness. Re the swearing, he swears A LOT so I'm used to it :rolleyes:

Hmmmmmm, I'm so glad I didn't Marry him last year :rolleyes:

Well, I'm at a loss at to what to do now, downstairs is pretty darn tidy by my standards and upstairs is out of bounds.

Coffee and a cigarette I think, kids are happily watching TV so won't notice if I go lock myself in the kitchen

Morning all

One load of washing hung up indoors. It's dry at the moment but it snowed a little about 5.30 pm yesterday and iced overnight. Seems to be melting OK now though.

I've given the bathroom and toilet a thorough clean and washed the floors.

Took the dog out when the pavements looked safe. She only walks slowly anyway.

Made a bread pudding and that's in the oven now.

Generally tidied round, made bed, washed up etc.

Off to catch up, hope everyone's OK.
