    :hello:Hello!

    Well I've made a dent in it! No energy left for vacumning and I have been trying to be quiet so dd could sleep! Hopefully dh will help me catch up over the weekend.

    Please can I have a star for the bathroom?:)

    DD is on her last day of tamiflu! Her symptoms have gone but still gets very tired so she has promised to rest over the next week. We are taking her back to her flat today, then back to heaps of washing!

    (((hugs))) to anyone poorly

    Afternoon all

    Sorry to read about your dog fedupandskint

    How is the cat Dusty?

    Did my bedroom on Wednesday - that's everything this week. Today I polished the living room and computer desk (again) and vacuumed through downstairs (again). One load of washing done, dried and put away.

    Trying to decide if the front grass is dry enough to cut this afternoon. It chucked down with rain again last night.

    Hope Toots and LadyL are doing better.

    Good afternoon you lovely people :) Sorry again can't read through to catch up as only got a 12V charger for laptop with me but currently making the most of the free wifi in the cafe/bar while the boys play in the pool. By the time I catch up with you all my battery would be too flat to post anything.

    2 washer loads in, not too bad at £1.50 a wash, 20p for 2 washloads worth of bold but could have done without DS2 wetting the bed. Anyway will be waiting for that to finish then need to have a cleaning/tidying session in the caravan. Site is lovely where we are and there are parents of other children with additional needs here too, nice community feel. There is woodlands where DS2 the mucky one is loving making dens and 2 parks, views of the sea and the fells. Arnside/Silverdale got votes for a place of outstanding natural beauty and you can see why, it's wonderful.

    Just called Matthew's Mam, her partner is on with doing the gloss work so the new house is almost finished decorating wise, then we need to phone to arrange the carpet fitting. Managed to get the whole 3 bed house carpeted throughout for £900 including fitting so really pleased as it's another thing (fitting carpets) I don't have to worry about. DP has gone home for work and after he's finished fixing his friends car he'll be concentrating on getting the back garden finished which was returfed a few months ago but never cut. The new neighbours are really nice, been offering him help with loaning composting bin, rakes etc. They are older couples on both sides so just hoping my 2 noisy boys don't upset them, will miss living in a detatched house.

    One thing that has shocked me is how much we're spending on food shopping when we're away, of course no store cupboard but I've spent over £100 in a week which is bad. I even brought a few things with us from the freezer/cupboards as I know we're not home much to run it down. I haven't been keeping a track of it lately but of course we don't have a store cupboard here, but it's shocked me how much we're currently spending. Something I need to pull in before Christmas, probably after we've moved.

    Anyway todays jobs we need to do

    Get bedding & other wash load clean dry
    Take the dog for a walk down the beach (more of a mud beach but a nice walk)
    Shopping (don't need much thankfully)
    Clean cupboards in caravan (about a squillion)
    Vacuum sofas and floor
    General tidy/clean
    Meal plan ish for the next week (home Thursday)
    Sort through some of the cupboards
    Clean toilet/shower which is a wet room style thankfully as the boys have missed the toilet!
    Clean hob/oven and grilling machine
    Clean sink/bench area
    Tidy awning

    Well I suppose there is a bonus to all being in one 23ft*8ft room, flying can be done in one day :rotfl:

    ((hugs)) to all, miss catching up with your news every day but thrilled we have a little Flybaby arrival, well done tiamai!!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Well i thought that I had done more but then DD and DS were helping me so not surprised. Might get some more done before wqe go bopwling then think we will go to Pizza Hut as a special treat.

    I haven't really done much with them but don't want them thinking that they only do good things with daddy and GF.
