Way to go SS - that's brilliant! I'm actually looking forward to being able to fly and fling in a big way like that again - another month or so and i'll be fling, fling, fling xx

Hawthorn

Whoa! Five pages already LOL.

I'm quite proud. I don't have to do ANY of that tomorrow. Reason why? I did it all today It took me half an hour, tops, because I'd been keeping on top of it as part of my dailies

Tomorrow - assuming my airers arrive - will be a heavy laundry day. I have a huuuuge pile again, as I haven't been able to get anything dry, and I don't want to resort to the dryer.

Failing that, I will be baking for pack ups for the next week, and also little snackettes for my husband as he starts nights tomorrow for four days.
I have my CBT first appointment too....nerve wracking, but it will be ok.
DH goes to look at a car tomorrow. Here's hoping it's all good, because it's cheap and cheerful, so we can purchase the car and the insurance with the cash the insurance gave us.

In addition to that, I will endeavor to put away the washing that is drying on the radiators, swish and swipe kitchen and bathrooms, and generally keep on top of things.

Thanks for the list pigpen, I'm in well done to little one, hope the progress keeps coming!
Sunnygirl, thinking of your SIL and her little ones, there is never a good time. Just being there is usually the best thing.
Valli, you can almost guarantee it's not genuine, always email to them first, you'll get a reply soon saying it's a scam. Some do look very legit.
soappie, fingers crossed tomorrow is a good hair day
Moam I am sure you'll be fine, got every faith in you
Dusty hope your Nan is better today
Mudbath fingers crossed for kitty
Well done Sarah!
greenbee if you have a chinese/asian supermarket or some costcos, they usually do white vinegar in 5/10l bottles, I've ordered from summernaturals but postage can get quite high

Play area was busy, loud, usual :rotfl: kids seem to have got some energy out, now been bathed and waiting for them to GO TO SLEEP!!! My bathroom is pretty gooad actually, it is one room I am good at as I do a lot every time I have a shower etc. Which will leave me time to complete decoration removal and get to the tip hopefully.

This evening my job is, find my diary as I still don't know where I am all week :rotfl: Oh and I am a sad sod who prefers the kids to be at home as I hate morning chaos, especially Monday!

I'm in again!

I vaguely kept up last week but this week all is back to normal with DH back to work and out of the way so need to get back into our routine!
Have write the list out in my notepad so don't have much of an excuse for popping in and reading too much! Will prob stop by after lunch tomorrow though!!

pigpen

I now have 15 items listed on ebeast and a couple of pairs of lovely brand new boots to put on but they'll have to wait until tomorrow.. cos I'm off to watch bones...

ragz_2

Sarahshattered that's amazing well done you!
I showed the thread to my Mum so I could show her that pic to cheer her up about my sister's room. Though I have to say hers is probably several times worse! Fantastic job, how long do you think it will last? lol

SarahSarah good point, I better actually get round to writing mine down today of I'll be on here all day tomorrow "checking" lol

Pink_Fairy_2

I'm in again, but I'm with Pollybear and sticking to my own list again. I'll put it at the bottom of my post.

Hello to even more newbies :hello:

Nikki - if your legs are that bad, you probably shouldn't be out walking. DS has a wheelchair for when we go to town, unless he's feeling quite good and it's a short trip. And definitely request a home visit, if you would normally have to take yourself to the doc's!

Mudbath - (((((hugs))))) for poor cat

I'm being duplicitous (do you like the novel use of that word?) and repeating it:

Lovely word, Soappie, maybe we should have a new word a day! :rotfl:

janie63 - your new word for this week will be "DELEGATION" :rotfl:
:rotfl::rotfl:

MOAM - hope things go well tomorrow for you and DH

Sunnygirl - how awful for you all. (((((hugs))))) to SIL.

Things should be getting back to normal now, so I'll have to see how it goes. As well as being back at work, I will be back at college this week and need to make a start on my Case Studies.

My MACAW this week has to be to get to the gym at least twice before the weekend - and use the equipment!

I'm off to do a bit of knitting. I'll probably not be back until tomorrow pm, so hope you don't chat too much, or I'll never catch up.

ETA - only 16 unthanked posts! Yeah!

I'm going into my bath and then may try another couple of hundred words on the assignment before bed xx
