Morning all.

I did some of the lounge last night so going to concentrate on the hall/lobby today. And the lounge floor will obviously need decluttering again tonight after DS2 has finished spreading dinosaurs on every surface!

Am going to try to get to the beach again at some point today, but still looking a bit grey out.

Hello Everyone,

Didn't start yesterday as I was at w*rk 8-630pm, then spent the evening doing my husband's books. I did shine my sink before bed though!

Day off today, so 2 day's worth of FLYing in one. Just having a cuppa (first of the day) then I'm off to do Monday's list. the boys are still asleep. They had a midnight feast of warm milk and toast (how mean am I?) and a movie late last night, their final late night before back to school next week, so I'm taking full advantage of a quiet house.

Hope you all have a great day FLYing, see you later!

There was a bit in there somewhere about how I'd S&S'd the bathroom whilst I was getting ready, and have done a half hour in the garden already, weeding a bed which I will be able to enjoy now while I'm doing my Monday jobs in the kitchen, but I seem to have lost it, just thought I'd add it in, in case you all thought I was a lazy s0d and just out of my bed!!

Morning

We were out all day yesterday visiting my friend in York for her birthday and home via ik*a for more storage boxes :rotfl:

Off out again today just been printing the route off and it reckons just over an hour and 35 mins, aiming to leave just after 9am. Better get brekkie for W who has just surfaced!

Morning folks,

I am home alone this week, and the house seems so empty, and quite. Most odd.

Kitchen is clean
Floors done
A man is arranged to help with my concrete on Weds!
It seems my Doctors want me to have a telephone appointment with the nurse to discuss rabies~~~why I have no idea, will have to ask when I ring tomorrow as nurse is off sick today!!
My £64 worth of books that I paid £7.45 with free p&p for have arrived, will wrap them and label them tonight ready from xmas, nothing like being organised!! (I bet it won't last!) anyway that is 4 presents off the list.
My collage poster also arrived £2.99 for that instead of about £10, so that will get wrapped as well.

I do love the quick and freebies board on this site at times.

Have a good day out Miss A & Mr W

Hugs all round

Toots you take it sloooooooooooooowly.....

Morning everyone!

Well my hard work yesterday was noticed by the hubby when he got in from work last night!

I'm glad it's the living room today as mine seriously needs doing :rotfl:I also need to do the boys room at some point as they emptied their toy box into the middle of the floor. :rolleyes:

Hope everyone has a good day ahead of them. The sun is back so I'm a little chirpier.

greenbee I have joined & sent it to my friends around the world....very apt for this thread. Hope you get the news you want about the job tomorrow.

I'm glad you like it - when I saw it I thought of all of you! And I'm really pleased everyone's ideas helped you to decide what to do. I'm sure your DH will come to terms with things in his own time, and in the future will appreciate the effort your putting into this now. I have so much admiration for both you and toots, and how open and pragmatic you are about your situations.

I overslept this morning as for some reason my neighbour's boyfriend kept setting off the alarm on his van... including driving off with the alarm going I hope he managed to sort it out and didn't drive all the way to work (motorway maintenance....) with the alarm going off! Anyway, he's managed to upset all the neighbours... not difficult to do when you've moved in with the local crack wh*re/dealer :rolleyes:

Ex-OH called last night... I think he was probably drunk :rolleyes: but has at least found the reason for my email problems and given me some ideas as to how to fix it (he was supposed to call about 6 weeks ago!). Sounds like he's working even sillier hours than when we were together, and as I found him extremely irritating on the phone, I hope that things will become easier - when we split up, we didn't have any contact, which I find much harder as it makes you forget why you split up!

I've ordered my mother's birthday present (co-incidentally I received a free delivery code the day before she finally told us what she wanted, so we've got her some very nice waterproof sheepskin boots from celtic sheepskin... now she can annoy my dad outside the house as well as inside... he hates them and all the rest of us have them!). I've also made sure that the kitchen is still tidy, put the vegetable casserole made yesterday in the fridge, loaded the DW (I'll set it off when I get back from work) and last night I put away quite a lot of the clothes in my bedroom... it sounds better than it looks!

Suppose I should find and post my list before I go to work... I think I might be late for my 10.30 meeting

I have more tittens!!!!!!!!!!!! lol.. I'll get another pic up as soon as they are feeling sociable enough.

You really are my sort of person :D:D. I have four cats now though, there is no way at all he would agree to me having any more

(digs out map to see how far Hull is...........)


My lovely boys are 5 and 6. What would they like to do today (we have an agreed £20 a week to do museums/soft play with)? The answer: Go to the big garden centre so we can get some more bark chippings for the borders . I didn't brain wash them, honest.

More of the holiday washing sorted and ready to put away. Must also do HHI, and wash our bedding.

Breakfast eaten, need a coffee then on for a HHC at 9.30-10.00 if anyone cares to join me?
