    AnW's Mum - (((((((Hugs))))))) Your MiL is obviously not the most sensitive of people. Maybe next year you should issue written invitations several weeks in advance of A & W's birthdays, and make clear they're addressed to her and her alone! Did she mention how she coped this week, or did she just ignore the issue completely?

    Right... all organised and ready for bed & tomorrow. Gym kit packed, lunch made, fruit for breakfast out so I remember to eat it :o . Washing in WM (must hang up tomorrow... otherwise I'll have no gym kit for Tuesday morning :rolleyes: ). Need to wash, clean my teeth and go to bed, where I'll probably read for a bit. I've updated my list... but will be going to Yoga & Pilates tomorrow, so won't be back until about 9.30.

    Monday - kitchen and utility mess
    Level One

    Continue to dejunk utility room
    Level Two
    Level Three
    De-web and fluff the room
    Extras
    1. Wash the long window & deal with the plants
    2. HHI
    3. clean out the vacuum cleaner.. wash the filters and when dry replace them!
    My extras:

    Pay tree surgeon - will have to ring... still can't find the invoice :o
    Organise Friday (visit bed showroom, Royal Academy)
    Buy laundry bleach, screen wash and matches
    Think of fundraising ideas for ribbon walk (apart from selling excess wedding cake test batches at work!)
    Christening present... I'm sure there's something around somewhere that will do ;)
    Wrap presents
    Governing body gap analysis
    Wash & store remaining dog bedding
    Finish clearing study
    Make decision on bed (Friday)
    Decide date for Ikea
    Agree date to finish utility room


    See you all tomorrow!

    Hi all, managed to fill another bin bag full of paper and mags.

    Done Sorn online but looks like I'll have an £80 fine.:o

    Have semi completed the tax credits form but need to work something out as I was between marriages and not sure what I should put because I was seperated from ex at time, need to check dates.

    Found more paperwork I haven't done so have compiled a list which I'll post tomorrow of paperwork stuff I need to sort out.

    Won't be going to work tomorrow, will need a sick note I think, feel as dreadful as usual, getting very worn out with it all now.

    Unless a miracle occurs and I recover completely from the pain, I'm stuffed.

    I heard you ANwMum re the bank charges, its on my list.Honest.

    Sorry to hear aout the MIL, some people are unbelievably selfish, you may have to say something so you don't 'stew' on it. Pass it back to them, you shouldn't 'own' those feelings, you've got enough to deal with sweetie.

    Toots ta for pm.

    Flower, yey well done :T

    Lilysue so sorry re your MIL, I hope she will recover fully from the operation.

    Lady Liberty Good luck, thinking of you.

    Finished my listing so time to feed the cats and head upto bed.

    I haven't done my shopping list/meal plan and too tired now so I'll do it after the school run with a cuppa before I head out. Really stuck on presents for DS3 birthday. I'm getting him a football shirt but not sure about much else.

    ironing Just seen 87 british divers ironing underwater for the world record - valli was you one of them:rotfl:
    No - but I was looking at a book 'Extreme Ironing' on Saturday in oxfam - mountain climbers with ironing boards strapped to their backs to iron on mountain tops! Goodness knows how long the extension cord would need to be :rotfl:Mind you in some Flyladies eyes I am already an extreme ironer because of WHAT not where :rotfl:

    AnWsMum - good news on the beans...I posted mine before you so fingers crossed! BTW Sains have 200g Gold Blend at £5.98 each or 2 for £6.00 so have got some in.. Sorry you're having MiL trouble. I haven't got a Mil:D:D:D:D:D:D - maybe take Triker's sound advice... MiL has a job to do here - making their dad's childhood real and vivid for A and W and not being so bl00dy self centred...and being mature - pah! Some people!
