    are you looking at the right list elf??? it was kitchen today and its livingroom tomorrow!

    DOH duh.gif - no idea whats going on in my head just now! Blaming lack of sleep over weekend. Had night out on Sat night and got home at 4.20 am and was out of bed by 7am so felt fine but v. v. v. tired. Had early night on Sunday night but was woken at 1.15 by ambulance right outside bedroom, 3 by DS who had woken and wanted me to show him the dark and sometime after that by the flipping cat who had a mouse!!! So needless to say brain not really in gear smiley-laughing010.gif
    I had even claimed my star for finishing the kitchen (which I did do) smiley-ashamed005.gif

    Might need you guys to keep me right this week .........

    Ok off to find the list and see where I am at *walks off mumbling living room (slaps head), living room (slaps head), living room (slaps head).....


    ETA - might be best if someone could remind me DS and I have dentist at 9.20 please!!!

    Morning all,

    Not had much sleep - DD woke at 1.15 with a wet bed and the baby seemed to want feeding a lot. He's 5 months now, so I'm guessing he's almost ready for solids. We're going down the Baby Led Weaning route, so I'm waiting for him to make a grab for food, rather than piling in the purees.

    Anyway, I'm feeling relatively fired up - DDs sheets (and duvet!) have been washed and on the airer. Right.....let's see what else I can achieve! I'm off to my sister's at 11.45, so have got some time...

    And I'm going to see if I can get half an hour in the garden....it's like a jungle at the moment!

    Have a good day

    Morning all!
    Bright and sunny here in Valliland. Were I dressed I would have pegged out my washing.
    Have promised to take kids to town later (we have a reception to attend Sunday in Quillion's lil corner of Valliland (we're off to Ringwood Hall) so DD has been told that no, she can't wear jeans...she is immensely cheered by the fact that the New Look store card has come (I got it because you get discount vouchers so:money:- there's a 20% off one although New Look will take B line (as will Peacocks but not at Crystal Peaks without persuasion (ie me pouting saying they take it in Valliland:rotfl:))
    (B Line is a Derbyshire wide discount card for students at school which guarantees cheaper bus fares but also discounts, typically 10% in shops - shops that kids actually use. My two are programmed to carry it with tham at all times then we can save 10% here and there!)

    I'm thinking of clearing out my bedding box while I wait for the kids to wake up...
