Morning All.

Had no internet yesterday. Talk Talk are rubbish. Each time I phoned the said it would take 2 hours. finally got it back at 10 o'clock ish just when I was getting ready for bed.

well i have put the sheets on to be washed seeing as the weather is soooo nice.

Mum is having the children this afternoon while I do some scrapbooking at a class :j

Welcome home JJ

I'm up.. children dressed and fed waiting for their dad to come get them.

Off to shop for me.. I'll throw myself in the shower first and make everyone strip their beds so I can get all the sheets etc on the line so they are dry for bedtime.. I may run through a few duvets as well.. esp. the boys!! They've not been done for ages.

Need to scribble myself a shopping list...

It shows there are always two sides to the story. Post #34 is the payback....

Just thought I'd see whether I've actually done anything this week seeing as I've been more focussed on exercise than flying! I need to spend some time in the garden this morning, and I'll probably be out this afternoon so I'm not sure that I'll make that much more progress!

Morning all....had a bizarre dream last night...tried looking up the interpretations but trying to break it down is driving me nuts so I'm not going to bother any more.

4. HHD of computer (How many will it take... 3 so far):o Also sone "Clear disk" x 2 :rolleyes:

6. Ebay listings
7. Sort out housing benefit. - on hold until late JUNE
   

My landlady came last night and told me she's going to have to put the rent up :eek: This will be the first time since 2005 though so I don't blame her considering the economy ATM and as a result I couldn't really say no could I? So the job of the housing benefit is going to have to get done this coming week as soon as she gives me the new tenancy agreement.

I didn't get around to having a bath last night - got an urgent message from a friend so had to log onto MSN to see what the problem was :rolleyes: So I'm going for a bath as soon as ex has taken DD out. Will also colour my hair as its looking more brown than purple now. Hopefully I should be done by the time Asda is due at 1pm :rotfl: Can't do any clothes/bedding washing ATM as I've run out of fabric conditioner so after my bath I'll sling the towels & cleaning cloths in instead Got to move myself now, DD needs me to slip, slap, slop her :wave:

Morning All

I really should join in this thread again because my house is a tip and I'm feeling too overwhelmed by it to know where to start. I stand in a room and think 'right what needs doing?' and it needs everything doing, decluttering, tidying and a deep clean and I just don't get anything done.
So frustrating. I want to live in a nice house but I struggle to get started or keep it up.
