    congrats pigpen on the new arrival, and DD is USUALLY quite good at wiping her feet!!
    OH on his way home, site has closed, phoned my mother and told her to get home, it is blizzard like here and she has to bus it to and from work, can't see any buses going in the next few hours(small,narrow streets) so she is going to see if one of the blokes can give her a lift.
    Going to join in the las 20 of the HHC, DD has got hot chocolate down her new cream t-shirt!!!!!.......................
  • Well having done nothing over the weekend due to feeling lousy I am athome today feeling ill and guess what schools are closed too so have my 3 darlings and a friend round. Having made a bit of a dent last week kitchen looks fab still - a first for me am going to potter at the list today rather than just veg on settee so by the end of the day i feel like I've acheived something. Will post later on what has been achieved if anything.

    So far
    cleared down kitchen surfaces and put on dW
    Put out recyling
    sorted two piles of dumped paper in dining room
    hoovered front room
    DD tided her own room and front room (only cause i said she could have a friend over !!!which is such a rare occasion hopefully if i get undercontrol will not be a rareity any more!!)

    So wish me luck there is soo much to do!!
  • Morning All - just taken me over an hour to go through posts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But it's in works time, so who cares?! Have had to walk to work again - didn't I say yesterday that I DON'T do exercise? Phone has only rung once - estate agent- and Fred and me are just about to lose the plot!! He I'm sure is on Facebook and I'm here, says alot about our age difference!!

    Pigpen - congrats on little one
    G&B- not good when they are hurting, you'd rather wish it was you that was

    Stew last night was yummy - DD1 wouldn't eat it, shes's 19 for goodness sake!! Wouldn't make her anything else so she resorted to making sausage sandwiches

    S/S kitchen
    S/S downstairs loo and bathroom
    Aired bed and made
    Cleaned soap dispenser in wm - how can they get so manky when all that goes in is clean water and conditioner?
    Turned DW on
    Ooh and did I say WALKED TO WORK AGAIN!!!!!

    Hugs for all that needs them
    Hope those with snow day gets to fly fly fly - can you do some for me aswell - pretty please?

    Bother, will probably be the end of the week before we even hear back from Swift so that's half term away cancelled then, pah!

    Pigpen, as for yesterdays list I didn't do - wiping paintwork (DPs in the middle of sanding it all) sorting charity bag (nothing to go at present) and sorting shoes/coats :) (because I couldn't be fluffed as we have coats/boots out drying everywhere after playing in snow!)but I did the rest.

    Argh, just had even more calls about the ongoing laptop saga, what a nightmare. HP now sending software, but I still can't put it on when they replace the HD without an external DVD drive and I see no reason why I should buy one when it's all I need it for, I think it's extremely unfair, company we bought it from (Westhouse via 3) are being as much use as a chocolate fireguard! Have updated them now waiting to see what they say.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Half way through my LR - have done windows though (which I don't usually every week) and a bit of declutterring (NO takers for the microcassette tapes?) and have thrown out the 8 year old Pearlcorder which broke 6 years ago - kept it because it cost money:rolleyes:
    have also PROPERLY dusted curtain rail :Dbecause I had the step ladder in to change a blown bulb:D AND have dusted light fittings:D
    Should be completely done in 10 mins then I will have a :coffee:
