oh they are lovely Valli - much better than mine!!!
what you really want is one of those Venetian ones and hand made and stunning!
A bottle would fine Valli - a token of appreciation for being invited - their favourite wine if you can find out would show that you have really put thought into it or flowers/ plant and after dinner choccies

ETA oops just read Greenbee's post - shows how out of touch I am!!!

He he, that was priceless - read Greenbees post about what not to buy and then read your's - which is exactly what I would have said... We must both be out of touch Toots, or in my case, just never invited anyway - probably cos I take the wrong stuff... :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Well have spoken to Hubby and they are not on strike yet - they have a meeting tomorrow... not sure what on earth will happen with all this but it doesn't look good...

Evening ladies.

soappies efforts with her kitchen inspired me to get going a bit today and we achieved a bit.

• Stripped our bed, DS1's and DS2s,
• washed all bedding
• Td'd all bedding
• remade all beds
• washed a load of flannels and bibs for kids
• took boys to get feet measured and got both of them a new pair of shoes
• bought some more mouthwash and babywipes
• got birthday cards for the month
• filed a big wedge of paperwork from the last couple of months that was just sat on the side
• went through our 2 drawer filing cabinet and pulled out some old stuff to get rid of
• sorted into recyclable and shreddable
• made toad in the hole for dinner, and had a homemade banana cake for our pudding that i made last night.

Not loads, but i am looking on it as another hidden area sorted and a big wedge of visible stuff making a hot spot is now gone, so i think i am going to treat february as a chance to do a bit a day if i can, and see how that gets me, then when Sam starts nursery in March i can then have a good degrot of the house in March, then hopefully be able to keep on top of it a bit better. That's my plan anyway.

DH also did a bit of pantry sorting for me so that is a bit tidier, although i think i want to empty it out and do a proper inventory and clean of it. Might tackle a shelf a night or something, and there are 8 if i remember.

Michelle, x

Ah yes, but you have been doing other things too... so it's a start. Remember what you say to me, don't beat yourself up about it - what's done is done eh! You know you can do better so try for a few more tomorrow... (those babysteps you keep telling everyone about... ) You are also trying to do a bit of everything now don't forget - knitting, flying, sorting, ebaying, AND your studies... all things in moderation hun x

I am actually really pooped now... am annoyed with DS as he made an agreement with me that he would be in no later than 7.30pm... mmmmm, he's not quite made that has he??? I want to go to bed now but I bet he's forgotten his key. Early start tomorrow as want to leave by 7am (will probably need 2 hours to dig the car out if this carries on... )...

Night all, although I may still be on waiting for DS for a while yet... See you tomorrow night if not...

but toots don't forget that not so long ago you had quite a bit of a downer - probably because you overdid it!!
so remember that you also need some fun in your life - and what more fun that chat with us ladies
so a sensible middlepath is the way to go :j
in my eyes you did GREAT!! :T

toots - that's impressive! I've never managed more than about 12 in one day. I am going to do some over the next week or so though cos then they'll end in half term - much easier for me to get them posted!

OJK - :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

flybaby - ooh, snow is getting closer School is near Hants / Surrey border so needs to get a bit nearer!! And well done on the housework!

valli - I'd take a bottle - but I don't get invited out to dinner

I still really need to get organised for tomorrow :rolleyes:

Both kids bathed and in bed and DD has finished her reading book. Do I sit in front of the TV now or do I get some more jobs done?

Watch the TV! You don't often do 'nothing' judging by your posts.

Thanks Toots, lots more to do but feel like we have achieved lots despite my yucky cold.

toottifrootti

thanks my lovelies - i hear you!!!!
thats a good idea Froddy - much easier to deal with the mountain of sales when you are off!!! And if you get snowed in tomorrow then you can make a start LOL!!!!

Hi all
Feel AWFUL today, have done very little as was out til 4.30 this morning. Have left my jacket at a friends and my shoes god knows where (had flats in my bag though). Did manage to do the WM today and sort out my bag for uni tomorrow (first day back after xmas) but thats about it.
Must do better next week. or just drink less.
Hope everyone is well
