    Morning everyone, another one here didnt sleep very well. Going out to the pub tonight as its Friday and daughter goes to Girls Brigade so OH and I wait for her in the pub lol. Nice to get out when we can even though I dont drink alcohol, just a slim line tonic for me.

    Had a survey from lightspeed last night which paid a fiver so withdrew it as another Amazon voucher so had 3 £5 ones. Went on Amazon and ordered a dvd box set of Royal Family for OH's birthday, used 2 vouchers and paid £1.98 so very pleased with that. That will be 7 out of 30 gifts sorted. Still got till August so plenty of time.

    Off to do some more knitting, half way up the back of sons jumper.

    Catch you later xx

    Cor blimey I feel hyper! My 15 min cleanup turned into an hour, I have scrubbed and scrubbed, and dismantled things and moved things and even my daughter helped vac the floor ;) yay!

    I feel refreshed and have scrubbed 7 things off my list but added another 3 onto it ;)

    Going to sit for half an hour and chill then get cracking again!

    Question for you all ... who else does housework in their PJ's? I find I clean better if I am still in Jammys lol

    Shelley did you win the yoda? hope you get a better nights sleep ;) x

    doesnt everyone :O
    Although where I live its acceptable to wear PJs for pretty much anything - dropping kids off at school, picking kids up from school, going shopping, getting the bus, everything :)
    Love is the answer. At least for most of the questions in my heart,
    Like why are we here? And where do we go?And how come it's so hard?
    It's not always easy,And sometimes life can be deceiving,
    I'll tell you one thing, its always better when we're together

    Where's the Coffee?? Show me the Coffee NOW!!
  • I always used to clean in my PJ's, everything but the bathroom. Then shower, get dressed, then clean bathroom. But DS (18) does it for me now (in lieu of rent!) In fact, he's probably doing it about now, so time I get home from work tonight it will be all spick and span.

    I do most things in my pj's - in the house, wouldn't leave the house in them. I only wear jeans and it's not comfy sitting around in jeans all day.

    Been playing on bingoport this morning, won about 500 points on the slots and i've been posting on the forum.

    My to do list for today:
    Put everything back in cupboard under sink
    Do washing up
    Tidy bedroom
    Start sorting stuff for ebay
    Get painting stuff out for when OH gets home

    I need to have a productive day today, had a really lazy week and I hate the guilt! :rotfl:

    I had a good nights sleep last night, no funky side effects luckily :)

    Sarah - that sounds like a pretty good plan to me ;)

    Okay I am going to watch the end of this episode of Dawsons Creek then i'm going to get off my lazy booty and get something done.

    Have a good day :D
    :heart: Think happy & you'll be happy :heart:

    Tidy house = tidy mind pity I didn't stick to my own advice really but I have a big new townhouse to clean and I sometimes find it daunting!!!! I clean in my pj's some days :D:D

    Rusty - I checked ebay and I've been outbid - I would place another bid but after checking how much my husband spent on his rugby weekend :eek::eek::eek::eek: I might have to leave it till next month - we don't get paid for another 23 days not that I'm counting :( Also by losing out I will pull on the old heart strings and add to his guilt for spending so much!!!!!

    Well inlaws have just left - we've all been for a lovely walk with Harri, dog, hubby and MIL to a local country park and really enjoyed. We left FIL glossing my utility door :D:D:D:D

    p.s Phunkles do they really drop their children off to school wearing pj's etc?????

    I can confirm that phunkles speaks the truth. It is unbelievable. PJs teamed with fake Ugg boots (nothing against fake ugg boots, but not with pjs!:eek:) orange skin and bleached blonde hightlights. :eek:
