    Morning all,

    Well I have cancelled my gym classes this week, cos finding have no time to do housework otherwise. Came down the stairs this morning and had two thoughts, 1) that must have been some party last night and 2) or was I burgled during the night!

    You guessed it, no party and no burglary - just the house is a flipping mess! So no gym for me this week, will get my exercise doing the house, so going home to close all the blinds (so I don't see the lovely sun), put some music on and get started!

    Thanks SM & Rosepink I shall go and give said hugs forthwith :D she's currently scoffing toast, as had a parrot and some juice. I'm struggling to find a babysitter tho, DD1 can't do it really as she has plans to go out but said if I can't get in-laws to do it (no answer on phone) she'll put her plans on hold I don't really want her to have to do that. Last resort is phoning customer up and postponing till either tomorrow or next week.

    K, I've done a canny bit off the list...

    Morning all :hello:

    Thrifty - Happy Anniversary!

    Having a bad day here today for me. Got up this morning to find a big spider on the ceiling of the landing :eek: I knew it would cause DD to scream so I got a wine glass, a piece of card and the step ladders ready to catch it and put it out before DD woke up. I got the spider into the glass only for me to drop the glass :eek: Cue broken glass all over the landing, bathroom and my bedroom floor (DD's door was still shut thankfully) and the spider running towards DD's room :eek: Henry to the rescue again so the whole house has been vacuumed through, although since it was 7.15am I don't think my neighbours will be too happy about it :rotfl::rotfl:

    Put the washing out on the line, to find some of it needs washing again due to squashed green fly :mad: I'd forgotten to clean DD's school shoes, she was ready by 8am so I said she could have the TV on...so she completely switched off unless I shouted her :rolleyes: and I just want to sleep not study :o

    I don't want to even look in my kitchen today but I guess I have to :o
