    Dust.. lightshades, curtain poles, games consoles/PC's etc

    Extras

    Morning Piggers - you're up early again I see
    And good morning to everyone else

    I shall have to adapt today's list. I shall do the front room (not been in there for several days) and the utility area.

    I wish this rain would go away so I could get some washing out...

    morning soappie!!

    My alarm has just gone off... lol...

    I only watched holby..saved the others for another day!! :s

    The children are meant to be going out with their dad today.. he is collecting them at half ten until 5pm.. and in view of the fact I haven't had anything other than the couple of hours on Sunday and 2 nights at college off from them I am refusing to have them back until 5!! lol.. well within my rights I think!!

    I am hoping to make some severe headway in the boys room today as it is appalling in there!! I'd do it now but they are all still fast asleep!! lol

    Nail appointment at 9:15.. I thought they'd be closed but obviously not!

    LOADS and LOADS of laundry to catch up on.. and I need to drag the vacuum about.. the downstairs, stairs, landing and bathroom can all be done... :D

    Piggers, if you've managed to offload the little ones for the day why don't you make time for yourself? OK, you're having your nails done, but why not do something else relaxing instead of laundry and housework? Give yourself a break! xx

    if I slob about all day I'll not be tired at bed time and I refuse to give in to that stupidity.. I will have a nap mid afternoon as I am out tonight with some of the girlies from college.. so will be needing my bed by 10pm otherwise lol.. but I must make some headway through this mess! Though I am aware it may well be my need for control taking over!!.. I hope it stays until the whole house is done lol :p

    That's unlikely I'll be well and truly bored by the time I've got halfway through the girly room.. it is such a big room and there is simply too much stuff in it!! and too many girls!! Which is what I am ultimately hoping to change!

    The 2 littlies appear to have just surfaced!! lol.. sleepy heads!!
