    morning :wave:

    oh boy, i think we are back to early wakings :confused: - kids woke at 5.20 and tiptoed around ever since. i kept [strike]shouting[/strike] reminding them to go back to bed untill 15 min later the ended up in mine :eek: - i managed 10min of that and then i've sent them downstairs :D

    had 2 people coming yesterday to pick up stuff i've put on freecycle :j - so more [strike]rubbish[/strike] unwanted things have left the building ;)

    i've got 3 big boxes with kids clothes and they'll go to oh's mate at work - if they still want more - i've 'showered' them already :D

    chunters what you need to do is [strike]attempt[/strike] start on opening the lofthatch, and move things around very loudly ... he might see that as a clue and jump in; or the least you do it yourself and it's done!



    hmm, not sure in what order to do things today. oh will be home shortly and then he'll be asleep upstairs so can't make too much noise there.

    my list for the next 2 days:

    - wipe down kids rooms
    - wipe down guestroom + make bed
    - wipe down bathroom + floor + toilet + get towels ready for tmrw
    - carpet on stairs
    - cobwebs

    - straighten hall + front door + floor
    - straighten LR + floor + window + polish surfaces
    - straighten office
    - straighten my pc desk area
    - clean utility room
    - kitchen
    - playroom + windows + throw on sofa
    - garden

    - hoover upstairs
    - set table
    - turn on all lights
    - draw all curtains
    - light candles
    - breadmaker?
    - plants?
    - radio on

    and somehow i'll have to fit the kids in this too :rolleyes: - and oh will be home too :cool:

    it's raining here again so i might take them (the kids!) to softplay later!

    Morning all

    My early morning today and am just about ready to leave (on schedule!!). Just finishing cuppa and I'll be out the door by 7.10am.

    Would be grateful for good weather vibes as I'm taking a group walking this morning and it's not looking great here. They're mainly Bengali ladies so will be wearing sandals (not sure why but lots of them do) so I may have to alter the route away from the muddy cemetery! Will have a think on the train.

    I did the study yesterday so will attack the bathroom tonihgt.

    Have a good day all :)

    Can i join please?!?! Need to get things sorted in my house but having 5 children and a mucky hubby makes it hard going sometimes! Im going to start off by doing 15 min bursts in the kitchen and dining room today.

    I have been good though, 2 of my children have a victorian day at school on friday so have been making aprons for them! Look forwards to getting to know you all and have also requested to join the f/b group too!

    We were looking at houses to buy last night too. Some good bargains near us, unfortuantly they all look like repossessions, ....so sad for the people who had to leave. Going to look at some tomorrow. Ours has been on the market since last year - FEB!! But then with all that happened over the summer etc, weren't too bothered about more upheaval. Things have settled down now and the kids could really do with seperate rooms. I wonder if charging orders can be transfered or carried over to the new place, rather than try and sell for enough to discharge it too. Anyone know??


    OH has 'told' me,I can have a day off today!! So am going to do the dailies, everything that hasn't been crossed off for todays bathroom list, my workout and then get the iron out and catch up on LOST - I'm still on series 3 so didn't dare watch any on Sunday night cos I wouldn't understand anything!! hehe!!

    Hope everyone is okay and well.

    I managed to wake up at 6 this morning and not go back to sleep! Admittedly I didn't actually get out of bed until just after 7, but its a start (two days in a row, although at least yesterday I got up and went to the gym!). I'll be shattered this evening, as I won't get back until 9ish as I'm going to a Pilates class. Hopefully I can break my sleeping pattern by next week... if only it was light at 6am I'm sure I'd be fine!

    No flying yet this morning, except getting breakfast and putting the resulting mess in the DW. I'm off for a shower soon, so I might manage to get some of the bathroom list done while I'm in there.

    I'm looking forward to catching up on the Triker & Mudbath's flinging progress... they've got to run out of stuff at some point ;)mOZzy seems to be doing pretty well too...

    Triker - hope your pain at least starts to become manageable soon. Take it easy... it's tiring being constantly in pain, so make sure you rest.

    ETA - have just booked next week's classes at the gym online (so can't get out of them...) and also discovered that the binmen have very kindly left my recycling bin in the middle of my neighbour's drive and the ordinary one in the middle of mine, blocking me in. As I'm on assisted collection they're supposed to put them back where they find them... and it really annoys me ... if they can't be bothered to do that, they could at least make sure that they aren't blocking the drive!
