    I really really didnt do very well last night!! I started pretty well. Made dinner, hung up wet washing. Dinner was chicken, so made stock from the bones and then soup (Chicken, tomato and Pasta, which I'd never done before but looks pretty good - even if I do say so myself!!!) So that will be in the freezer for when I come back from Holiday!!

    Started on my HHI but only managed one work shirt (for today!) and my mum called. I live about 500 miles from my family so dont see them very often and havent done since Christmas. My sister is having real problems with her boyfriend and he is making her life an absolute misery :mad: My poor mum cant seem to help her and my sister cant see sense. So spent lots of time on the phone talking to my family and didnt get much done other than the dailies!

    Am a bit demotivated now being so far from home and knowing my sister is having a really bad time.

    i dont have a study (very posh!) so am just going to clean the bathroom tonight, S&S the house and pack, and try and look forward to my holiday.

    One more sleep to Disneyland!!!!!!

    kitchen is tidy and clean. wm is on (i've just explained to OH that we've got yet another new rule :D - any clothes on the floor upstairs will find their way into the wm! - let's see if that changes anything. i am just fed up of doing the 'sniff-test' :rolleyes: )


    i even involved mil earlier and asked her experience on how to put up my new curtains in the guestbedroom. i hate sewing and i hoped she'll do it for me :D

    i've replied to 2 items on freecycle (graphics card and monitor) and hopefully can pick them up shortly - then dd will have her own pc as well :j (and i won't have to share mine anymore :T )
    OH offered to go to ikea and get another pc desk (£10!!!!) - and whilst talking about it we decided all of us will go tmrw to the new one in southampton :D -and maybe some dinner afterwards ... if we'll find a place somewhere (valentines day :rolleyes: )

    i might go upstairs and sort through some clothes.
    ohhhh, i can put the 3 big boxes of babyclothes in oh's car for his mate.
    and i'll put all the decorating stuff in the garage ready for use on the doors :T
