    I've just woken up!!!
    I fell asleep sometime when Watchdog was on.
    Still got loads and loads of cleaning to do yet but will get there.
    I promised myself that October I am going to deep clean the whole house and then I just need a routine then to keep on top of it .A bit like the accounts really.

    Agh! You and hypno are both at it. You are putting me to shame! And I was proud that I managed to wash the kitchen floor on Saturday..... Have you got any tips for getting a housework head on?

    I like this theory and it is exactly what I want to put into practice here. So far I have managed to

    DGS was here earlier and was a little angel.I did his reading with him and noted it in his reading journal..that was nice.
    He does some funny things.He has had me,grandad,the ice cream man and his mum and Aunty in stitches tonight....
    Mum2one and her DD kindly sent DGS some stuff...there was a bob the builder shower cap in there..he asked swhat it was for and explained that it was for keeping your hair dry in the shower.

    DGS was playing outside the door nattering away to himself quite happily when he came in put the shower cap on and went back out again...5 mins later he came in wet!!!....he said it works..I said what does?..he said the shower cap...it was only raining and he'd not told me...lol...
    Anyway brought him back in and sat hime down to watch the simpsons..when he hears the ice cream van(at this point he didn't have the cap on)...I went to check if the van was near the house it was ..so called him out he comes withy his shower cap on and proceeded to have a long natter with the ice cream man about all sorts off stuff including Mum2one and her DD etc etc....like a little old nman ...
    His mum and aunty came in and he was getting ready to go home and insisted on wearing his shower cap all the way home!!!

    I daren't ring his mum ...he's probably gone to bed in it..lol

    Had a load of parcels delivered today and am really happy with the stuff I bought of various sellers on there...all nicely packaged and undamaged...I have also done feedback on the ones I've received so far.

    Avon..now what can I say...damaged box and 2 items missing...BUT...worst of all the Lady delivery driver knocked on the door and by the time DH got to the door she had put the box in the hallway!!!!....We were both fuming as we have 2 dogs and one is a rottie...if they'd have been vicious and the living room door wasn't shut then she could have been attacked!!!!...as it happens you'll not meet a softer Rottiebut How dare she just open the door and not wait for an answer putting the parcel straight in my house?????
    He was at the door quick as she was just getting back in the van that's how he knew it was a she!!!!

    Irang Avon to lodge a complaint about damaged box,missing items and delivery person...missing items will be resent and take 5-7 days!!...they apologised about the woman...I asked if I would get a response to the complaint they said no....so doubt I will use them again....
    I ordered from Evans and the same thing happened a few weeks ago..wonder if it's the same woman
