  • Sunnygirl my dd is at the stage of getting out of her bed ALL the time its a nightmare esp at night when dd1 is also trying to get to sleep.....

    Putting her in the travel cot seems to have helped. She cried and cried and when I went into her she kept saying 'ded...ded' (which is 2 year old talk for bed!lol ). So I put her back in bed and she went to sleep straight away. Think I'll keep the cot up for the next few days as a deterrent! Only problem is that she is now fast asleep and I'm going to have to wake her to do school run.:mad:

    Perhaps DH will sweep and mop tonight while I'm out. I'm going salsa dancing with SIL!

    I'm back online! I made DS1 come home for lunch, so he could set up the computer again (yes, I do know how to do it, but I'm terribly slow!).

    dusty - I have passed on your congrats to DD! Also chunters - thank you for remembering!

    AnW's mum - hugs from me too.

    I have a beautiful cream carpet!!!

    Just a bit excited about that! I have spent the rest of the day cleaning things before I put them back in. Unfortunately, on checking the care label for the sofa covers, they can't be tumbled, and it's not the right weather at the moment to have wet sofa covers everywhere. I'll have to wait for a good drying day.

    If I'm at home tomorrow, then I'll make a start on making the curtains. Pics when I've finished.

    HHC 3pm anyone?

    sorry it's a bit short notice.
  • mummyto mygirls - I hate the way they make you feel guilty -as you rightly said - you need to sort yourself first.
    lil_me I thought I recognised the name - I love around Fort William - I am sure your course work will be fine once you get into it - so do we have to nag you too to do assignments??:rotfl:
    AnW's Mum ((((((((hugs))))))))) huge ones - that must have been difficult moment for you. I hope you are not suggesting that blood donating has left you tooo weak to fly!!!!:rotfl:
    SS supergirl WOW babes you have done loads - well done - you are certainly on a roll these days - a hard act to follow but I am trying!

    In my HHC
    I defrsted and cleaned the fridge including washing all the shelves drawer thing etc, checked all the food, cleaned all the bottles etc,and put everything back neatly
    cleaned the MW
    wiped down the fronts of the fridge and oven and all the cupboard doors on that side of the kitchen
    wiped the kickboards along that side of the kitchen

    so that is half the kitchen sparkly!!:D
    when I came back to post I also did an online survey so declutterd that from my inbox and got 250 points!

    ETA SERENA how exciting - I love the thought of a new carpet - its a whole makeover thingy - have fun getting it sorted - the bedroom will soon be yours again! xx

    Look forward to seeing the pics Serena bet it looks fab!

    Had to stop early cause durr brain here went and did the kitchen floor when I hadn't fiished the rest of the list for the kitchen :rolleyes: so I've cleared all the washing and taken it upstairs and had a bit tidy round the dining/pc/spare room too, will have to wait till the floor dries to do the cutlery drawer and the filters, I did however have the sense to clean the window first lol
