    Ok, this is my list for the caravan, clean sheets and sofa covers were put on on the weekend. Windows need doing as does the hoovering and sorting of cupboards. Have no ironing to do(yet), we use the laundrette in Pembroke when here for a while and with DD playing over the farm, no doubt we will have some washing and ironing to do before long. Think I'll have (another) cuppa and make a start............

    Morning ladies and gents!!!
    got up about 8.40 and after washing I tried on some bras and have decluttered 4!!! I will never get back into them so whats the point of them taking up space.

    I have caught up with you, over my breakfast,...........

    i am kind of getting used to feeling not allright ... happy pills are not working - didn't see what they could change in the first place :confused: - so i'll be back to the docs once kids are back to nursery to get them to sort out my back and shoulder - that should help me sleep :rolleyes:

    i take the kids to a playpark almost every day - but they want to do lots of things WITH mummy :cool: - so it's not a case for me to sit down and relax really ...

    and haven't had any viewings for a week now which is fine with me - i needed the rest!! - but they can start again now :D

    how are you holding up? i hope you are not overdoing it too soon??? :kisses3:


    well, my HHC turned into a FHC (full hour!)
    and for some strange reason i sorted through the tins/pasta cupboard:confused:
    and i've got an inventory list now and chucked loads (out of date :o) out!

    dw is un/reloaded, kitchen surfaces are wiped - and kids are driving me crazyyyyyy

    Morning all

    Todays list done Toots :)

    I watched Corrie, that can count as "me" time (all the time I'm on the computer counts as me time......)

    I emptied out the shoe cupboard, vacuumed and washed it and wiped over the shoes before putting them back.

    And all the rest of the list.

    Also, vacuumed the kitchen as I was vacuuming anyway.

    Waiting for Asda delivery now.

    Congratulations to mummy2mygirls :)

    I didn't get a great night's sleep either. Went off all right but the blackbird started singing about 4.30, then the dog started "mumping" (mumbling and grumbling to herself), she's downstairs but she's deaf and doesn't seem to realise how loud she is. That woke the cats up and Meg threw herself at the kitchen door a few times before giving up and going back to bed. Then next door got up for work. I gave up then.

    Happy Birthday Michelle :bdaycake:

    Glad Woody is OK :)

    ZCC- I don't think you're being unreasonable.. I'd probably be a bit annoyed until someone sensible (like Valli!) pointed out that it might just be the buiders & not the home owners! I can be too quick to get cross & a few minutes later have to take it all back again!:rolleyes:

    Good job I did Tuesday's list yesterday cos I am taking DD to my sister's today - don't know what time I'll be back BUT washing on line, all yesterdays was ironed and I have put the loose chair cover from the bedroom in the machine and will peg it out before I go.
