    Boy will Hypno be jealous :D Thanks f-f

    7 boxes up there, 4 returned to DS1's room as they're FAR TOO HEAVY FOR ME, and he should Know better than to leave them for me.
    Have moved the "feminine wipes" and other personal stuff of DD's. Thank goodness this lodger is a forgiving sort :rotfl:

    Wish my ironing pile was clear :o!! Never mind, may actually do it tomorrow whilst twins are off sick from school - again :eek: F has a raging sore throat and I must admit it does look very red and sore, so have packed her off to bed with paracetamol and a honey and lemon drink. A has a violent cough which makes him vomit, he has had this for 12 weeks now (thought it was getting better last week but now back with a vengeance) and we have been to the Drs numerous times, he's been Xrayed and had blood tests and nothing to be found, now have Paedeatrician appointment for 2nd Feb.

    Hope all this sorts itself out before I start work!

    Did your lodger move in today Olive?

    Hope all is ok,

    Lodger arrives tomorrow - I'll have to be on my best behaviour then :o

    Her room is now clear, however the loft is more chaotic. :rotfl:
    I've reported on my mystery shop and I've cleaned the bathroom
    A lovely day of rest? Nope. Writing? Nope

    Had long Skype with Popeye and am at the point of loathing his being 6,000 miles away. Ho Hum

    Three weeks today I'll be in Africa, so I can't really complain :confused: but I do :o (How can I lose a couple of stone in 3 weeks? I need to look fab on the beach :rotfl: )

    It is horrible when they're miles away...on the plus side, by the time he sees you it won't matter what size your *ss is - Popeye will only have eyes for you anyway!
