    mummyof5 - she is adorable!!
    Mudbath - how awful for doggy, healing vibes sent
    Valli - it's not the end of the day yet. Fingers crossed
    Toots - I used to be a beautician - if I could get up I'd doing all the beauty bits for you xxx

    This morning I've:
    unloaded dw
    ironed 6 things - doing that everyday and have less than a basketful left
    s/s kitchen
    s/s bathroom
    s/s downstairs loo
    aired and made bed
    ironed curtains for little bedroom
    bought curtain pole for little bedroom
    paid a bill
    been to work - still blooming sitting here can't wait for 5.30!!

    DH's work didn't have any carpet - am gutted, so calling at a place after work, DH can fit it, so hopefully it won't cost much. He's borrowed works carpet stretcher etc, so it will be professional, fingers crossed!!!! No, I'm joking he's done it before.

    My challenges all involve the airing cupboard of doom I'm afraid, but it's just too big to do in one go, taking Toots advice from last week!! ;)

    1. unload all top shelf (that's shelf number 5), sort through it and re-arranged/throw/wash as necessary
    2. unload shelf number four, sort through it and re-arranged/throw/wash as necessary
    3. unload shelf number three, sort through it and re-arranged/throw/wash as necessary
    4. unload shelf number two, sort through it and re-arranged/throw/wash as necessary
    5. unload shelf bottom shelf (not looking forward to this as it's massive), sort through it and re-arranged/throw/wash as necessary

    The cupboard - you could stand in it, it's nearly 6 feet high and goes across the stairs iyswim

    Tootles - it's got a hairline fracture, a chip and some extensive ligament damage. They have no idea how she did it. She's in a plaster at the moment but needs further work tomorrow as it was too much to do in one operation. She's just see a cat out of the window and you can see her thinking....'now how do I get that!' Bless her. Apparently she might be out of plaster in four weeks if it heals well. Amazing.

    Right, need to finish my list now....the headache won't go away so i'll ignore it! xx

    ETA - thanks for everyone's good wishes for stripes. I might seem calm but I know i've got to hold it together until the children are in bed. Then i'll blub! xx

    Drain man been. Problem is out in the highway like I said all along but now I will have a report to say so - my mate phil at highways will be getting another call tomorrow.

    Done a bit more on the kitchen, fed DS2&3 going to get the washing in and have the beaver run to do.

    Toots hun.. I had to cry on your list... it is a special list and some of those things everyone should have the opportunity to do at least once... so hormonal blubbing was in order.. so.. I did... I think everyone should have a list of things they wish to do. I'm just going to turn up at you door one day.. and i won't tell you who I am I will just flash my nails and see if you can guess!! Love you lots xxx

    Today I have done very very little... DW x2 hung out 3 loads of laundry brought it in & dumped it on the table to be folded later!

    back later to update the list for tomorrow

    What a wonderful list! Best of luck - am sure you will achieve all of them! (Except Concorde, but I think this might be on display at the Fleet Air Arm Museum!)

    You are right, we can say we have been on concorde! Went on the one at Yeovilton :) Not sure if we will go there when we are on hols as we went with DH so it might be a bit too soon for me to go again just yet, but if we do I could take a pic of toots and take a pic of toots on concorde :D

    My five for this week:
    1. Clean the inside of my car.
    2. Half an hour of shredding and/or filing
    3. Get the charity shop mountain to a charity shop
    4. HHC on toyboxes
    [STRIKE]
    5. Clear the ironing backlog that has built up in the last ten days
    [/STRIKE] has taken me since 4.30!

    Mudbath - hugs for poor Stripes and for you
