    lol sounds like 'fun' then!!!!!!

    Loving your new avatar :D it's DH's bday on Thursday and I was thinking of asking those who know our story to wear/find something yellow for the day. His daffs are starting to poke through now which always makes me smile.

    Homework done for Miss A, can't find W's, not sure if he brought any home. Have til Tues to do his anyway.Need to feed and bath them both ready for an early night as it was passed 11 before they went to bed last night.

    Rightio, managed to get to sleep at 3.30am :o and then up at 8am for medicines. Was intending to go back to bed but never quite got there.

    What have you lot done to me eh?:confused: Never in my life have I wanted to clean and tidy up so much.

    Anyway decided to crack on this morning and took the laundry to the launderette for drying. 3 washloads = £2.20 to dry.

    Whilst I was out OH motivated the girls and between them they cleaned and hoovered the LR. OH swept out and tidied up fireplace.

    DD2 gathered all our scattered medicines and painkillers from around the house and put them in a basket that I provided.

    DD1 & 2 tidied their rooms and DD2 has a bag for charity shop.

    DD1 has tried to find a missing library book but as yet no joy.

    DD1 cleaned out my car and did a really good job, hoovering it out and everything, didn't look like my car when I got in it.

    I decanted and then recanted some chicken stock and have had chicken soup in the slowcooker all day.

    Cleared kitchen and whilst I was out the counters were cleared and DW done.

    Brushed up kitchen floor.

    Found an adapter plug for the toothbrush which has one of those stupied two pronged shaver plugs on it.:confused: MSE found a plug for 65p at wilkos, was heading to argos where they were 3 quid odd.;)

    Washing dried and folded.

    Emptied kitchen bin.

    DD1 cleaned out chickens.

    Found kitchen window key.

    Decluttered one bedroom drawer, both girls done this, myself and OH to do.

    Bought milk.

    Made and eaten tea.

    Myyself and OH went to B and Q and got some wooden edging things which OH made into a raised bed for me.:T I am probably more disastrous at gardening than I am at cleaning but always up for a go.:D OH is going to make me a couple more and hopefully what with my dynamite rocket fuelled chicken compost dung, we may have a result.

    OH swept up and cleared the concrete outside the back door. He also cut down some brambles.

    Cleared the dining room table and wiped it down.

    Whilst I was out I bought some wire wool stuff from poundland as I intend to *Triker, you can say this, open your mouth and form the words*............ clean the cooker, .........maybe.:rotfl:

    My jaw is still really hurting and I'm trying not to give in to the pain but I'm getting angry now because it should be healing. I've a feeling that 'something' is in the socket, hence the swelling and pain plus there's a yellow bruise under my jaw. Going to have to see if it gets any better otherwise I'll have to trot back to the dentist.....again.:(


    G n B so glad little one is back home.:T

    Evening all,

    Haven't done a huge amount of flying today apart from doing a tonne of washing up as I made cheese scones for lunch and my Mum and OH consumed some of them as my Mum is over helping OH to paint our old flat (I don't like painting, so I contribute by clearing up our current house). My Mum said my elderly neighbour was missing me, so I should come over to visit her this afternoon, so I did, and we had a lovely cup of tea and a really long chat and she was thrilled to see me.

    I also visited upstairs neighbour after, as unfortunately her cat was run-over and killed on Friday, so I wanted to go round and see her. I also got to see her baby photos as she had a scan yesterday (baby due in April). She gave me a lift home in her new car and looked around the house whilst she was here. Luckily thanks to all of the flying I've done, it wasn't in too bad a state so I was happy for her to look around.

    Off to get on with tomorrow's list now as I don't know whether I'll be working or not tomorrow as I've got nothing booked in advance for Monday. I know I'll be working all day Tuesday, all day Wednesday and for the morning on Thursday. I'm also getting my hair cut tomorrow night at 5pm, but it's a model night (trainee hairdressers), so it'll take a couple of hours probably - still, it only costs me £10 and they have a comfy massage chair when you get your hair washed.

    Anyone fancy a HHC 6.45-7.15? OH has gone to his shooting club, so it's an ideal opportunity to get things done before he comes home - plus it stops me eating so much chocolate orange cos I'm bored!

    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
