  • Just got back from town, errands done, bought a big sack of spuds £5.99 and they delivered them for me! Treated myself to a Pink PIGGY TIMER, its soooo cute (hope I don't lose it)
    Car front, neighbour across the road runs a garage and apparently if you ask him he will go to auctionfor you/with you. Then will only charge cost of car and any work that needs doing. I only want a run around, so will be going to speak to him shortly. (should get about £600 if they write it of, as they probablly will due to its age) Just having lunch then I shall put my new piggy timer to good use and try and finish Kitchen, Not much left, just finish of pots and sweep mop floor (am only aiming for level 2, anything more is a bonus).
    PIGPEN I hope you have'nt caught anything with all these new babies about:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    The problem with common sense is its not very common:rotfl:

  • Wow, Sarah, your fridge sounds a lot healthier than mine - mine's got a shelf of lager, that I'm not allowed to drink cause of my diet - wanna swap? Wish I could suggest something but I'm more of a reheater than a cook :p

    Hope all of the newbies are enjoying fluttering :hello: - if I do something to level 3 one week, it usually only needs minimal cleaning the week after

    Quick breather then HHS starts in earnest at 2.30
    I'd rather be watching CSI!
  • Wow 13 pages to read already will try and catch up later - well this is the week i am going to fininsh the lists well Level 1 EVERYDAY - not just the 2 or 3 I have manged so far. Am off work for 2 days starting 2morrow and am going to get under control ( well the thought is there)

    Happy flying

    Well my HH turned in to an hr:rolleyes: . I didn't want to stop. The dining room is done i'm just waiting for the floor to dry before i put all the stuff back in.

    Once i've done that i have to put everything back on the dresser in the living room. Ds1 is doing the washing up.

    In my hr i

    Cleaned 2 cupboards in dr
    Swept them
    Put contents back in
    Sorted shelves
    Cleaned out pc cupboard ( that doesn't have a pc in:confused: just junk:o , not anymore now it's empty:j, just need wireless and i can take my pc downstairs )
    Wiped walls
    Dusted
    Hoovered & mopped

    I'm shattered now but time is running out so i'd better get a shift on. I am winning the war against this pit of a house though.

    Afternoon everyone,
    Sexymouse hope your headache leaves you soon.
    Hellsbells big hugs.
    Pigpen i have a spare cot here that you can have, i just don't know how the heck to get it over to you.
    Hello to all newbies.

    For whoever mentioned kickboards, they are the boards below the cupboards.

    Been for hospital appointment today and the lovely doctor was saying about going into prem labour, if i have any fears just head to hospital and that hopefully it won't be too early.:confused: I could go over my date. He said he'd see me in 7 weeks if i was still here. Think i'll cross my legs for pure badness and hold out until due date.:rotfl:

    Managed to go to asda and HSM3 is £8 so got it for DD who will be over the moon when she gets home. Went and looked at prams, picked which one i'm getting but will order it online (it's cheaper and quidco).

    Now gonna get some of the list done, lift kids, homeworks done and get some stuff done in the garden.
    Back later to update..
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    well, i am back from my hhc and i managed to:
    - clear BR floor again (all clothes for charity shop are downstairs ready to go); tools are in OH's office (he's got a unit there); i've sorted all my clothes into the chest of drawers
    - peeled spuds for sheperds pie later
    - changed the binbag and put the full one outside

    i need to sit down again and rest my back ... don't know why it's playing up like this?!?!?
