    New school bag located for DD1
    Box of stuff sorted from landing.. I have found a new project.. there are 6 small cross-stitch things in it which should keep me occupied when I decide I can no longer tidy.. or I am sitting in a completely empty house cos I have thrown everything out!

    WOW,Kazmeister what a lot of work you have done there,such a difference,I bet your DD is so pleased,will this encourage her to keep it tidier now?:j:j
    Have to say my DD1s bedroom is almost as bad but she is 19 and should be old enough to do it herself,saying that guess who will be stripping her bed tomorrow,when she eventually gets out of it:confused::confused:

    DD2 is a lot tidier.
    The two older boys share a room DS1 is tidy DS2 isnt which drives DS1 mad.
    LO doesnt have his own room,he is still in our room and is only 2, he has to put his toys away though,but he loves to help at the moment,dont think it will last long,lol

    I second this. Vanilla Haagen-dazs with a shot of coffee flavoured baileys on top... yum yum yum. My friend introduced me to this when she came to visit. Dangerous before a trip to a cocktail bar.

    Pigpen I am in awe. I'm going to have to chuck the boyf out of the flat sometime so I can really tidy. Trying to do it around him is just impossible. I'll come up with some mission for him to go on tomorrow. Any ideas?

    flippin eck Kaz d'you just skip it all? Where's the 'junk'?

    Job well done there methinks.

    You can discuss ICE CREAM all you want...I don't really like it! DD on the other hand, is an addict!

    My heartbroken 15 yo son is heartbroken no more and is selecting from a bevy of beauties

    1 - 14 BUT lives in Derby (too far)
    2 - 18 :eek::eek: - have counselled against this one - hope he takes it in - too old!
    3 - 14 (goes to his school)

    hope he decides on 3

    Glad his heart has mended...

    now.. I'd go for option 1... no chance of any hanky-panky so the pitter-patters will be held at bay a while longer.... :p:p:p:p

    Kaz wwooooooopppp well done!!! I have found the trick with my 2 is to make them tidy EVERY day, well every night before bath they do it, they clear the floor. I know if I slip at all it'll go back to similar to your DDs room!

    Valli I agree with pigpen, option one, long distance boyfriends when I was younger kept me out of trouble a bit too

    Piggers well done on the 'superfling' I keep getting that 'superfreak' song in my head singing 'superfling' instead :rotfl:

    Right, poopered, hungry because I am dieting, I know it is because I can't have anything else. Goodnight xxx
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Lol Pigpen, no I'm not a houseelf, but I like things done a certain way, and he gets miffed when I redo everything he has done to help. He does try bless 'im.

    Before anyone asks, I'm still up rather than up early. Couldn't sleep at all so got up again and have been pottering on with things. I've slept a lot the last few days so I'm not worried.

    Have a lovely day everyone
