    I've been up since 8.30am and ironing since 9am..ugh!! And still the ironing pile hasn't gone down, I swear it is breeding..:eek:

    Yes my ironing pile appears to have a complicated and very productive life of it's own as well....done an hours ironing this morning and am going to attempt another hour now. Have asked dh if his work place would like to go over to long sleeved tees that I could just fold :D

    Bit groggy today, one of the disadvantages of better weather when you live on a busy city street is the people who have loud drunken arguements in the early hours underneath your bedroom window. By the time I had fully woken up and listened to the couple swearing and shouting at each other, wondered if I should call the police, decided that this was old ground they were going over and were not in fact a danger to anyone, I was fully awake and it was 1.30a.m.:huh:

    Need to go get my child and sort something out for lunch. Was going to go to Tesco as the local shop is more expensive but decided what with petrol(it's a 30 min drive) it's probably the same, also the loval shop sells meat and veg from the local farms, so I shall be supporting the locals and be getting local, fresh food!!!!

    I love to hear the sound of the Dawn Chorus.
    When i was little we were going on holiday to Cornwall and we had to get up really early. I could hear the birds and my Grandad told me it was the dawn chorus.
    I imagined and still do now the big tree near the garden with all the birds sitting on the branches with the Owl on the top as conductor of the bird orchestra. (Come on i was only about 5 or 6)

    I have dusted decluttered and fluffed the living room off to Party then will be able to hoover when i get back. DH should be up by then.

    Will put crossed list up when i get back.

    Great competition win Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish is the best.

    Catch you later guys xx

    Yey I finished DS1 room, pulled out everything, hoovered under, wiped all skirting and picture rail.

    DS3 and I just finished lunch so I said I'd play with him for a bit.

    Hi guys :wave:

    Back in from work and Asda, which btw was horrendously chocka block, had to go round the car park twice to get parked :eek: stoopid easter hols :D it was full of grannies and screaming kids :mad: :D still, I survived and teenie has just finished putting it all away, he said I bought too much :rolleyes: well he's the one that snarfs it all.

    Council have been and replaced the locks/handles on 3 windows :j what a good lad, If I'd been in he'd have getten a cuppa. I've decluttered a cup off the sink for my brew lol and pegged out the washing that was in the machine from this morning.

    I'm just gonna nip upstairs and fling open littleys window now they're fixed, it's not had a good airing for months.

    :hello: All Tuesday's list completed Toots :j:D:j


    Still have an internet shop to put away, but morning sickness has kicked in :( I read somewhere that ginger can help, so I might go to the health food shop later, and try some ginger capsules.....its worth a try to see if they will help a bit. Will see you all a bit later. Happy flying! xxx
