What they said!!!!!

Thanks everyone!

It's on April Fool's Day - how's that for a demonstration of a sense of humour! lol

Have just spent the HHC doing washing up as we seem to have a lot of it again. Have done half of it, and the draining rack is now full so will wait for it to dry off a bit before I start the next lot. Once I've done all of it, I'll be able to finish the kitchen I think as I'll be able to get to all of the worksurfaces. Hoovered the floor earlier.

ditto

I made the boys help me with a double HHC and we have cleared the disgusting pit that is the playroom. Just going through my magazine collection now cutting out recipes, etc so I can re-home them as appropriate, whilst trying to work out Farmtown on Facebook.

Phil, forgot to say thanks for the heads up on the Lakeland catalgoue/voucher.

Woo hoo - thanks for the encouragement FF - more of an impact made! It still amazes me how much easier it is when you break it into little chunks and really go for it. I'm enjoying my well earned cuppa now too!

WEEKEND LIST...[/SIZE]

Fook the house.. spend some with the people you love.. you never know how long you will have them and the housework will always need doing! You get your revenge in the end when you become the dust!
Hug up those little ones and OH's.. even if they are being painful! And raise a toast to the ones we no longer have with us.

Glad to be of help (***gives a humble bow***) but seriously, I know what you mean, when you have a plan, it seems to just get done... mind, it helps that no-one else is at home making a mess behind me today - DS has only been in once and left footy mudprints in the 5 minutes he was here... :mad: made him mop them back up...:rolleyes:

Oppps, sorry, muddy footprints - I seem to have got my words in a mudding fuddle? :rolleyes:
