Dont know what else, I cant remember!! The house looks remarkably better than it did thats for sure.

Evening Ladies

Many apologises for my off loading the other night and thankyou for the hugs - have been doing some serious thinking whilst driving to meetings today ........ rare for a Friday but hopfully will work out.

Have decided that DS and DD can do own washing and put clothes away - I will do only mine! They don't know yet -he he he

Have also decided to buy rail at IKEA to put all of Mum's clothes that I am selling on ebay for her so that they are off the sofa/hall/infact everywhere. I will put the rail in my room beside the bed - it will be out of the way but I can still reach my drawers/wardrobes. that should mean I can tidy the lounge and maybe not feel so depressed by how much I have to do. i will not try to do masses in a catch up session on Sunday but will try and put the clothes away and do the declutter challenges from the week instead.

Had supervision and both boss and I realise that I have a problem saying no even when the task list is not feasible. so now I have only 2 closures to do next week which I think I can do if I work hard. Apart from tipping my full cup of tea over her coffee table and papers I think it went better than I hope!.

Right off to wrap the ebay parcels ready for postage tomorrow and then driving 2 and a half hours to Mum's ready for more packing/trips to dump tomorrow - oh I lead such an interesting life.

Congratulations to carol, valli & fedupandskint!
Just in case I don't get on here tomorrow as I'll be getting everything ready for my birthday bbq, Happy Birthday Jo!
Big hugs to LadyL - if you are too tired or don't feel up to it tomorrow, I won't be at all offended if you can't make it - I understand. If you need me for anything, you know where I am, and I'm always at the end of the phone - I hope everyone is looking after you - apparently purring cats seriously reduce stress levels, so don't forget to switch Sheldon on! lol

OH has been working really hard today clearing the garden for tomorrow, and has got rid of all of the bits he cut down the other day. He's also mowed the lawns.

I was up at the crack of dawn this morning as it was so hot I couldn't sleep, so I was able to put a load of sheets in the wash and stick them in the TD before I went to work this morning. OH has put them away for me. I also managed to put all of the clean washing up away in the cupboards. I bought most of the food for the party tomorrow on my way home from school.

Just seen the time - must go and see if I can find some dinner - it's getting late!

Hello ladies

Havent been around much this week and havent read thread at all so apologies for missing what you are all up to/going through.

I have been spending the time trying to organise the big event in less than 8 weeks time. Thought I'd found a dress but now wondering if after feeling the heat this week that it might be too hot so been looking at others. Would love an opinion on this one (bear in mind I do like things a little different!) and whether it would suit (2nd time round, overseas - so hot, 45 year old - sze 8 - 10, for small civil ceremony max 24 people) http://www.sexyher.co.uk/product-ED6009-42.html or this one http://www.sexyher.co.uk/product-ED6006-85.html in the ivory colour.
Invites are done - homemade so very MSE, and in the post except ones for immediate family who will get theirs approx 2 weeks in advance. Registrar and venue booked, OH suit and shoes bought but cant decide on cake or flowers. Any suggestions?

Back to flying
The whole weeks list has been printed off and I am roping the rest of the family into a clean the bl**dy ouse up day tomorrow as the french student is arriving at 6pm tomorrow :eek:. Most of the spare room hs been decluttered and apart from a large bag for the charity shop it has all left the house. Now going to do some more decluttering in there so its just cleaning tomorrow.

Catch ya later
