Sorry my lovelies - I'm posting before reading, managed to read at work up to p39, then the sh$te hit the fan!! Manic manic manic day and my head is all over the place now. Sat with a little drinky poos (I deserve it) and waiting for veg to cook. Hugs to all, know someone going for an interview but a brain is mashed I can't remember who - but hope it went really well for you.
Jo - carp about paint - last thing I read so can remember!! Hope it looks better after the 2nd coat

Today if i've:
Had the sh£tiest, cr$appiest manic day ever - but shouldn't really complain
Put blind from little bedroom in bath with washin liquid - come up really well, hung it out after work to dry
s/s kitchen
aired and made bed
threw bleach blah blah blah - you know it by now!!
Showered and went to work
did a detour after a house viewing and put sausage casserole in slow cooker
had a carp day - oohhh did I already say that? :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Dealt with more numpty people at work :mad::mad:
came home and made lunch to take to work and managed to prepare veg at the same time

And if I could be bothered - promise I will post it when I find it! - I've finished my last challenge

Hugs and kisses to all - whether you want them or not :rotfl::rotfl:

ALL DONE!!!!!!!!!!!

1. remove stuff that doesnt belong in small bedroom and put where it should be - dont leave it lyiing around
2. [STRIKE]clean ceiling[/STRIKE] - light fitting -windows
3. clean walls - wash curtains and put up fresh - only a blind up there at the moment, going to take it down and soak in the bath, hope I don't ruin it!! Have also found/dug out from airing cupboard some creamy goldy curtains that will fit, so will wash them
4. clean out furniture - didn't take long as theres only two small pieces of furniture in there
5. decide what to do about carpet not even going to attempt to clean it, it's beyond that!! DH has taken the measurements to work with him as there may be something in the warehouse that will fit and the colour is neutral. It's a tiny tiny bedroom. So hopefully it won't cost us owt!!!:j:j - UPDATE - it won't hopefully, carpet fitter at DH's work is sorting fingers crossed a neutral coloured offcut for us :T:T:T

JUST BRAIN DEAD - I MEANT TO STRIKE THROUGH EVERYONE ONE OF THEM!! THEY ARE ALL DONE

I've done the bathroom and master bed but when I went in to littleys room it was trashed! She'd just come out of it with her friend and went out to play, she's so in trouble when she gets in, well, best laid plans and all that :rolleyes: anyway, got a bubbly bath running for me now so I'm nice and clean for my clean sheets

Wiggly Wednesday ~ Bathroom, Loo, Study

DONE! TOOTS!

Thursday ~ Master Bedroom & Landing

DONE! TOOTS!

Still not caught up with thread. Need to find some bin bags too cause I've decluttered the bathroom and got a load of old stuff, where they hecky peck it came from I don't know cause I only decluttered it 2 weeks ago I'd swear it was breeding. and cloning itself.....a couple of bottles looked vaguely familiar, maybe I'm having a senior moment.

And the cat's just nicked my new work pants! :mad: *mumble mumble groan moan*

Soappie - congrats to your DiL. Like the number of steps from the pc to the kettle but don't forget to add in all the extra trips to the loo

Yes, I thought about that afterwards. It's 24 steps to the bog. Say 3 cups of tea means one trip to the loo then I can cut the number of cups of tea down to about 130....

Hi (name of co-ordinator of work exp.)
I have to say what an utter pleasure it was to have the two boys on work experience this morning. They brough such a breath of fresh air to the training. They worked hard and were great fubn. Please do thank them on my behalf. If all year 10 pupils were as keen and quick as those two teachers would be very lucky and very happy.

***wipes tears from eyes***

Awwww and so you should!

Have been and looked at another flat with DS. It has possibilities. It's on the High Street (Rach - you will know the area - the street that your old church is on). It's really cheap because it's a sort of dodgy area of town but not the dodgiest. It would do them well. There's quite a little community in that area. DiL has to see it yet.

Am now going to do myself some dinner. DS and DiL have decided they will celebrate her success with a chinese. I found some whoopsied lamb chops in Mr T this afternoon so I'll have those

DD popped in and has coerced me into being taken out to dinner on my b'day next week. I've decided not to be a misery guts and let them treat me.

Off to pop those chops in the oven

Soappie - congrats to DIL
MSG - WTG you, bet your pleased

Mudbath

:wave:

Hex - thanks for the HHCs - i've got sooooo much done!!!!

[STRIKE]1) Go through my wardrobe, DD's and DSs wardrobe and remove EVERYTHING that doesn't fit!
[/STRIKE][STRIKE]2) Clear, sort and clean clinic
3) Declutter dining room.
4) Visit library to take book back and local shop to get battery for pedometer (you've all made me want to use it again).
[/STRIKE]5) (and this is the one i'll regret) Gut master bedroom - chuck, chuck and more chuck!

:T

Dusty - sometimes I can be SO thick....what an obvious way of checking the pedometers!! It's the high one that works :beer::j so i'm up to 17280 steps today and still have to do the dog walk tonight. That explains why my calves are always so sore!!!

Regarding the SF - they swabbed the child apparently but not the parent (of a different child not the original child). The problem is there are so many rumours going around that I don't believe anything anymore. We have made the local paper :rotfl: and I do know for a fact that a teacher was sent home with suspected SF today....I will wait and see!

Off to see a friend for an hour and then walk dogs and then collapse.....I need my bed!!!

Hugs to everyone and thanks again Hex xx
