I'll take two of those please wilf!

Haven't managed lists or ANYTHING last couple of weeks
have been sorting out bday parties for DS's, fannying around at the schools watching concerts and going to parents evenings etc and spent a week "making-over" my neighbours back garden as a wedding present for them! Lot of hard work but very satisfying!

Time to get back on track methinks.
Today I have mowed the front and back garden and cleaned the upstairs bathroom *gags at the thought of that* it was dis-gust-ing :eek:
yesterday I cleaned the living room and sorted out the boys room as have put DS3's (16 months) cot in there. Saves me being woken in the mornings and the boys have to be very quiet at bedtime, so nights are at bit more restful and Im not shouting up the stairs every 5 mins for them to "get in bl**dy bed" !!!! (Wish Id thought of it months ago!) Since I'd moved the cot from the Master Bedroom, I blitzed that as well and it is now rather a pleasant place to relax in. All I need to do at some point is paint the walls. It used to be the boys room and they have scribbled over every single bit of wall (yes! I DID go bleeding mad at that!!!)

hmmm reading back Ive done more than I thought!

Job today is to clean the kitchen. it is MINGING!

Will report back later on that!

In the meantime hugs to JO and all others in need of them.

PIGPEN...its times like this (as I always say) that you know why your ex is an ex. Blasted men!!

I see you all did well propping up the bar without me last night. And they call ME a reprobate!!!

MUAH xx

Afternoon everyone. Had a lie in this morning which was lovely. No flying done yet as its been a strange morning. Earlier on I saw the man a few doors up acting quite strangely. He was walking up and down talking to himself. This isnt usual and later saw him in his garden talking to himself and he seemed agitated. Anyway thought I had better go find his mum. I didnt know where she lived just the estate at the other end of town. I was going to knock on doors. When I got there I went up the alley way and there she was coming out of her gate. Hope he is ok. Then my friend whose husband went missing called. Still no sign of him. Going to have some lunch then tackle bathroom.

Frodders have fun and enjoy yourself.
MOAM Glad to hear your DS is doing well. Big hugs for you all.
AnWsMum Well done Miss A and Master W. :T
wilf55 Well done your DS1. Hope you get some help with the mess.

lol I know, I am waiting for a tongue lashing from her for not doing my 5 x RoD this week :rotfl:BUT in my defence I have found the kitchen!!!! And although I won't get the star for it (drawers need sorting) I am feeling quite smug with myself!

Been sorting our BR whilst watching the qualifying although I was distracted by the incident (don't want to spoil it for those who have to watch yet) so did not do as much as I wanted to but it's another great start.

greenbee

I've spoken to the mum of the birthday girl and pretty much said that they'll get what they're given if they want it to arrive on time! I don't think she's really that bothered.

Anyway, need to pack up and head off now. not sure when I'll be back as I'm not actually clear what the plan is and whether it's a one day thing or a weekend thing!

Mrs_Beatson

well... the kitchen is done, bar one hotspot. floor mopped/bleached too. Im ashamed to say it was FILTHY!

off topic rant...you have been warned.~

If one more of my kids slams the front/back door behind them, I am going to give social services something to investigate, I swear. It's driving me mad!!! Ive even made them open and close it quietly 10 times when they do it, to no avail! DS1 just woke DS3 from his nap with an almightly B A N G as he left.

Finished, thank you

Tonight I really must do some ironing..have managed to avoid it for a couple of weeks and OH has gone past the jokey comments about it and is now muttering " bl**dy lazy" and "you're getting worse" comments around me.
Can't convince him to pay someone to do it for me, so I guess I'm gonna have to

On a lighter note, the chicken is in the oven for dinner, ive put a load in the TD, just about to load the WM and Im going to have a nice glass of [STRIKE]wine[/STRIKE] coke and a read of my book for half an hour, to recover from the kitchen experience.
