Tootles - glad it went ok today. Hope you got the piccie I sent you. Regarding not bothering to drink....one of my friends asked me if I was pregnant today :rotfl:. I had to remind her that I had a few vital bits missing!!!

Mrs MortenH - hope everything has gone fantastically, thinking of you xx

Jill - I was thinking of you at tea time. My two made their own tea of spaghetti and grated cheese (with added grated ds's finger - delicious!!).

The tv still hasn't gone on since we got back on Monday. The silence is so nice and definitely something I want to get used to. We didn't watch much anyway but i've not missed it not being on at all. Maybe that's why i'm sleeping so well too....just relaxing with a book more.

Serena - love the shoes!

Right, I need to get up off my bum....friends arriving in half an hour. Just when i'm ready for bed too :rotfl:. I really need to be more sociable! Another quick s/s for now.

Hugs to you all.

xx

Cant keep up with this thread it moves so fast.
After my rest I went to the doctors and picked up my sicknote and new prescription. Posted my DLA forms. Visited my parents.
Came back and managed to cook a meal for DS and some of his mates, just Mince, potatoes and carrots. As I cant use a peeler very well they were cooked in thier skins, and nobody complained. Including the carrots. So no wastage there.
Took one of the teenagers down to the "coffee Shop" that is for the youngsters, (Biggest of Mooloo's help run it). Had a chat with the organisers and my daughter (gave her her Easter Egg as I hadnt seen her).
Drove back, and now..... Its a small glass of wine and TV.
Hopefully tomorrow I will manage to achieve even more.

Evening! What a day :rolleyes:

Took car in then went to dad's and managed to sort his computer Then garage rang and car had failed spectacularly :mad: So I weighed up the pros and cons of paying lots for the repairs or buying another car and, in true soappie style, I have paid the deposit for a car which I am going to pick up on Tues

I was expecting to be out of the house for a couple of hours today, but I left home before 8:30 and got in at 4:00!! So not much flying done :rolleyes: although I have walked miles!!

I did do a load of washing overnight, so that dried on the line whilst I was out. S & S the kitchen and dusted the bookcases when I got in, then fell asleep!

Need to update and change my list as car things are now more important

Hi ya everyone
Omg has just dawned on me that I haven't been doing to much but I have good reason, if this is an ok excuse,
my little girl has not been well for 6 days and really clingy ! :mad:

but I am back on track, also OH has also promised me next week some time he will be doing my dvd unit for the living room to get rid of the cabinet and hopefully the book shelf unit I hate the bookshelf as it shows clutter !
very soon I will be having yet another massive declutter June time for new clothes I will be restarting a fresh new style and also get new pillows and things even painting lol

washed bedding yesterday did laundry loads today folded and put away undies and pjs, still have to set up DD's clothes for the coming week I set it all up in advance easy to get to aswell.
swept and mopped, I hoover daily but really need to borrow my mums washer hoover, I am hoping soon we can laminate DD's room and get round to doing something to our room, have also been looking at new wardrobes for my room to give more storage and some space to the cluttered room we have,
do need to do the bathroom and find a decent storage for the under sink area as at the momment it is driving me mad lol !
does anyone know how to get rid of mold on walls ?

also any one have a bag of things they carry around with them when clening if so what do you have in it ?

It is amazing when you wake up and the house looks clean
hope everyone having a good Thursday ? x
