quick update as I didn't report back after my HHC. Went out for lunch but came back having had none as Sbucks was heaving and the tables that were free hadn't been cleared. I had a bit of a rant at DH as i'd been looking forward to it, he had a bit of a rant back about me moping around on a weekend saying i'm bored and have no friends which makes him feel bad for studying. All talked through in the end and we've decided to do a roast for tonight rather than tomorrow and drink the champagne that's sitting in the fridge with it. So I must get on with some more flying, though I am into escape from the country now!!

Pfew...

I am bushed!!
We had a mad rush of cleaning and sorting in this house today. I made all the kids help. (which they didn't like)
We cleaned the kitchen throuroughly. Every nook and cranny that I normally skip. The hooks on which the big pots and pans hang got taken down and cleaned. All the tiles, the door, the doorframe, the cabinet fronts.. the lot.

Kids bedrooms tidied, and the attic sorted.
We sorted out the toys downstairs. Chucked a full binbag full of crap. And filled a big box full of toys to go into the attic, while another big box full of toys that were stored in the attack got brought downstairs and cleaned.

With me going into childminding and getting a little two year old so I brought down lots of little girlie toys.
My own 4 yrs old is now playing with all the stuff she hasn't seen in years as if it's all new! She thinks it's Christmas!!

And just as I went to sit down with a cuppa, DH comes home from work and says: "How about we go out and take the dog to the (big) park?"
My reply?: "I don't think so.... I'm bushed!! and still have loads more to do!!! There's a month's worth of clothes to be washed, dried and folded!!"
So now he's in a huff and took the dog out on his own...

pfff.. men...

He'll come around.

I'm having me a cup of tea and a rest while I wait for the TD to finish.

If I have enough energy I might clean some windows but then again, I might wait until tomorrow with that.

Been to the Post office and bumped into DD which was a nice surprise.

Have got a good idea from one of the other threads. Its to stock up as much as I can before I retire and have less money. It can be anything you use such as toiletries, tinned goods anything non perishable that you use. Although I do this if I see special offers on.

Have vaccumed right through and washed the parts of the carpet in the living room that are walked through. Having a cuppa now and going to make a lasagne shortly.

Diva Hugs for you and Tristan.

Triker Big hugs.

Crafty That made me laugh.
