    About all I have done this week....

    Triker - hex is right about teachers too. But we get short days and all those long holidays of course. :rolleyes:

    pigpen - great news - but I'm quite upset that GF has never had a birthday party...I know you'll spoil her.

    Must go cook dinner...

    Triker... cool, would hate to think I'd upset you. :)

    Piggers great news. How lovely, a birthday party :D Have fun. Are you going to do jelly and cake since she's never done it?

    I've had such a busy day today. More shattered than usual! Off to make risotto.

    Swinsters - I'd bin them. One less thing to clean. Plus I think that if they are tucked away behind a staircase and not on show anywhere more prominently then you don't need them/like them as much as you used to ?

    Ladies, I have been slack since battling Monday's list. I have not even started Tues or Wed. Though I may get motivated after dinner. We'll see. Its not because I am lazy, its due to having to much else going on!

    The washing I hung up on the line to dry on Monday is still on the fricking line as it keeps raining on and off! I hope to get the stuff in one day this week, when it finally stops!!!!

    I will update my list as some point and maybe even manage a star, though don't hold your breath......

    Ps - to say that Mr GG saw my lists, as I printed them off the 'pooter and he was very impressed. Even the thought of my planning housework over actually doing any got me in the good books.

    Gee some days you just don't stop do you(sc13163 so far).

    Managed to make dinner and pudding with reduced pots and apples from Mr M

    Drain man was here for 2 hours and my house is a mystery, no surprises there. He is lovely and only charging me £50 and he will be coming back yet to put a camera down and do a report. Soappie I'll be at the library looking at plans of drains on Friday - I bet that's something you would do.

    DS2 fortunately got a lift to cricket. I need to do a HHC in the kitchen 18:30 if anyone wants to join me, before DS3 has a haircut and I dash up to the next town to collect DS2.

    I'm going to be oh so contraire here. I quite like them. They break up the wall at the back. I'd be tempted to give them a good dyson using the upholstery or brush tool and put 'em back

    Oh and Greenbee - Switzerland? Think of all that chocolate!

    Oh Toots - I'm back on track! One bathroom star and another special please. I can still taste bleach..

    :xmastree: PigPen, are we to give a reason why we are here ?
    If so can I add I am here because:
    Want to be as organised and tidy as I can, even with a dodgy back and 2 year old DS!
    Thanks, and sorry if I am doing this wrong (not the cleaning lol, the post!).
    :D:D
    PS Sorry I forgot the tree last time :o
