    Right ladies and gennlemen, seeing as you're all no doubt in bed unless our overseas cousins are around......I'll post this to let you know that I did indeed tackle our bedroom.;)

    So binned 1 bag of rubbish.

    Sorted clothes into piles.

    Redistributed crapola round room (no time to properly go through that tonight).

    Moved bedside table to OH's side in readiness for his op, he'll need space for meds and drinks etc.

    Moved the laminate flooring packs from one wall to another. Need to figure out what happening with these.

    Rearranged furniture.

    Moved tv.

    Hoovered bed.

    Made bed.

    Dusted what I could.

    Put a great big photo of me next to OH's side so he can see my wonderful face on either side of him when he gets up.:rotfl:

    Hoovered.

    Found a missing pressie.

    OH wrapped all DD2's pressies whilst I did the room.

    Had a bath.

    See you all tomorrow and loved the photos Pigpen, gorgeous.

    Not sure I'll be getting much done tonight, I'm not even going to try too hard. I've cut the list back drastically to things that MAY be achievable, since it was officially recorded the hottest day for us for 137 years. :eek:

    Oh my! It's quite unbearable and horribly humid - expected to be 90% humidity later tonight.

    Morning all.

    Greenbee - still a weather warning out about ice but the local radio is saying, so far, that although it's icy it's not as bad as yesterday. Do you listen to the radio in the morning? The local BBC station has very good travel bulletins every 15 minutes from 6 am ish up until 9am ish. They are far more accurate than websites...

    I think I'll do corned beef sandwiches for lunch today - then there'll be some corned beef left for hash tonight :D

    Have a good day one and all

    That did make me laugh....sorry!

    Out of curiousity, how many kids do you all have?

    And can i ask, i gather that DH = husband, OH = other half, DS = son, and DD = daughter, but what do the numbers relate to?

    I had thought this was their number in order , i.e. DD1 being the oldest daughter, DD3 being the third child etc.

    But i noticed someone had written DS3 and DD6months.... are the numbers their ages????

    Sorry - am easily confused :huh:
