  • OK, I must get on,

    Have answered all emails and sorted out work for next week,
    Have got DS up (that's a feat all on it's own.. :rolleyes:)
    Now I'm about to go and cut the grass before the rain comes... It needs it and if I don't do it now, it won't get done this weekend
    Then I need to go out to get the reinstall discs for my Mum's computer
    then I need to plan the rest of the day...
    Oh, and I must get the chicken out now - am going to do Salmon a-la-Soappie because it sounded so nice, but with chicken instead of salmon as I don't like fish... ;)

    See you all in a bit...

    Morning all

    Had a bit of a lie in til 9.45am and I feel a lot more human than yesterday! I also had a tidy round and declutter before I turned the laptop on, so have reached my 100 things. Thought it would be hard but it wasn't this time! And I didn't even have to resort to counting hairs like soappie. We have a hir catcher thing in the bath as my long hair is a nightmare for blocking up the plug.

    I've also sorted the laundry and one load is in the wm now. I need to shower sometime soonish an we're going out for lunch at about 12.

    Progress made so far today, due to Mr Tag still being in his pit:D, and no children under my feet:D:D, it's absolute bliss believe me:D:D:D so quiet :D:D:D:D........

    Anyway .............
    Kitchen floor swept and mopped
    Work surfaces wiped
    DW on
    WM going through a cleaning hot wash cos Mr Tag left washing in it that now stinks and needs re washing :rolleyes: Plus it's made the WM stinky too. Have cleaned out the filter too etc etc.
    DD bed stripped and moved ready for hoovering and damp dusting the skirting boards.
    Seeds on the kitchen window watered. They're growing:j
    Ummmmmmmmm that's it I think.

    Hello Toots - I've decided to leave Mr Tag in bed this morning for as long as he wants. So that a) I get on here and b) it feels like I have the house to myself for once
    :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

    Just got a letter through from LO's geneticist - its weird, i know everything thats wrong with her. But because we see a different specialist for each condition i've never seen everything listed together in black and white - its a little scary:o

    Did have to google a couple of words that i didnt understand, was reading what Wiki had to say and got all confused because they started talking about animals! Seems some of the things she has are quite common in terriers:rotfl:

    Morning

    Only done my dalies so far but have also been to Lidl and the bakers.

    I've put the washing on the line an dit has just started to drizzle - I'll wait a minute before doing the okey kokey.

    Toots - I have done all 3 kids rooms this week.

    DH taken DS1 to my Mum's for the Day
    DS2 got a new puzzle in Lidl which is 500 pieces so that should keep him and DS3 quiet for a while.

    Off to do the bathroom and cloakroom and then the rest of the day will be paperwork or gardening depending on the weather.

    Two more pieces of furniture from ebay being picked up today and I've got more listings to do over the weekend

    LL - well done you on your ebaying

    Princess Jane I bet your mega-fit, I'd be knackered just cleaning the pole never mind hanging from it lmao :rotfl:
