    Morning folks

    Hugs to those that need them.

    Denise, I suggest a bin bag, go through the draws and chuck out / recycle everything you haven't worn or needed for the last 6 months, same for the top of it.
    Then sort out the items into the draws.
    As someone has suggested get another basket, and fold clothes into it.

    I have wm on
    collected next doors dog, I'm on doggy duties for the next 8 weeks, he is a lab and well behaved, I'm gonig to take him to work with me!!. If it doesn't work out he will be back in his own kitchen at lunchtime.

    Awmum going to hunt out something yellow~~~glad you were allowed to plant bulbs, I wasn't the vicar told me off! and made me dig up what he caught me planting, got my SIL who lives in the village on vicar watch as soon as she hears he is on his hols or away, we are going back to plant!

    Well, I tried, I really did, I stuck to my guns, computer off at 10.30 (ish, but very close) and I went up to bed at 11.40 - 10 mins after I said I would - and I have been to get to sleep ever since - 2 HOURS!!! :confused: Mind you, hubby is snoring like a drain at the moment because he can't lay on his side until they fix his arm properly (trapped nerve?) so that is a BIG distraction. So I am going to do what Greenbee said and stay awake now until tomorrow night when not only will I be absolutly cream crackered, but Hubby won't be there to snore in my ear... can I do it? :rolleyes: I know if I sleep at all during the day tomorrow this will start all over again, so I am going to try really hard - I don't like being nocturnal...bigcry.gif




    Would this help Flower? http://www.asda-entertainment.co.uk/asda/6919496.product


    I have found his cd's really helpful especially with OH's inability to sleep.

    Morning all,

    So far no calls for supply this morning, so fingers crossed I don't get one of those last minute ones where I have to panic and rush there as fast as I can!

    I did do as promised last night, and changed my sheets with OH before we went to bed, although I didn't vacuum the matress as we share a wall with MIL and thought it was a bit late to turn it on as it's quite noisy. Little black furry (cat) is on the bed asleep now, so will wait til he gets up to vacuum the floor, then my list is finished. (Yes I know I spoil him, but he's my only child! lol) Will just need to do some washing and washing up today then. I think I'll do a hoover around the whole house whilst I have it out for the bedroom though as cos of the wind at the moment, we keep getting bits fall down the chimney. I need to do my mealplan too, cos I didn't do it before I went shopping on Saturday (naughty mouse), and I need to check that I bought enough food.

    So, my list for today:

    Hoover bedroom
    Hoover rest of house
    Meal plan
    Washing (at least one load)
    Washing up

    Think that'll do - oh btw, my MACAW is to use up at least one cosmetic sample per week, as I seem to have quite a collection.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Morning All..... Please can I have a little whinge......
    I am now entering my 3rd week of being off work without pay. Well worse than that they've paid me and now I owe it back to them. First DS was sick, then I was sick (still am despite antibiotics) and now DS is sick AGAIN. To make matters worse I childmind my niece after school and I'm told she's going to be off school all week so no money there either!!!!!!!!!!! Oh and I had to buy a new exhaust and front tyre on Saturday. PLUS I have resigned from my job so can't ask them to eek out what I owe over a long time period.

    It's DS's birthday on Thursday so I should be sorting that out. Oh what a nightmare. Hugs to everyone else who needs them.

    Off to hoover and change my bed.

    So pleased your LO is on the mend G&B, good luck for today with the appointment!!!

    A&Wsmum, I have a Yellow vest which I will wear on Thursday xx.

    Right DS1 is away
    DS2&3 are getting dressed
    DD, well im waiting on the ointment being absorbed slightly before I dress her......The new bandages are VERY messy, there are 5 towels stained with parrafin, steriod ointment, and creamy zinc stuff that comes off the bandages!!!!!!!.......so I am going to wash them at 60 degrees but put some fairy liquid in to see if that helps!!!!!! as the towels come out "greasy and heavy" and they take forever to dry!!!:(

    so my first selfannounced ( :D ) HHC anyone? 9:15-9.45
