  • i am in again this week, might not get around to posting much till weds as DH is off work till then - i'll be glad when he is back, it was nice on weds, thurs this week as we got to spend time together without DD(who loved it at my parents house!:D) but over the last couple of days he has started to get under my feet!

    i sort of managed to get most of this weeks lists done by the looks of it, i was just doing things as and when i felt like it/saw it needed doing - along with a fair bit of decluttering - i bbq'ed 2 very large carrier bag fulls of paperwork and still have another to do, filed all remaining paperwork into a file all neatly and into clear wallets and went through it all and i am amazed at how much money we waste(and i thought we were careful:o:o)

    i hope everyone is ok and HUGS to anyone that needs them, wish i had time to read up to see who does

    im in again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I have finished fighting with the bedroom furniture!! I have moved the chest of drawers as far as i can....its still approx four inches from the wall, but it will not go away further so it will stay where it is!! But there is room to bring in one of my clothes rails from the spare room, which will help declutter in there!

    I have reset up TV & the DVD which had been sitting on the window sill redundant as it couldnt be connected. I have also moved my bed a bit to fit in a bedside table and get my lamp and alarm clock off the floor!

    I have done most of the dishes and left a pot and oven dish soaking....

    Ironing is mostly put away.....but i still have loads more to do, which means i wont get a star for monday cos its all in the cupboard under the stairs!! :rotfl:
    I now have 'Water Garden' i think its called in my Tart Burner and clean bedding on mine and littleys beds so Im off to get a shower i think and read some more of my book in bed (the Time Travellers Wife) and watch trashy TV!

    Hi Peeps

    Thanks to Pigpen, Toots (& soappie if reqd)

    took a break from flying last week to catch up with everything else so am back in this week (well I will be ordering everyone else to be in while I'm at work) as the house is a tip. And after a night out last night with the girlies until 3am :eek:(most unlike me) and then lunch today which we have just got back from :eek: I am so far behind. It is so bad that I havent done any laundry so will have to rummage round the bedroom for a pair of black trousers as my work ones are still on the bedroom floor :o. luckily I have a spare shirt.

    Master plan this week will be

    Work
    Flying
    Sorting packing earlier than Saturday (want it done by Thurs if poss)
    Finalising W stuff
    Updating finances

    I really hope everyone is ok as i havent had chance to catch up so hugs where needed :grouphug:

    Love to all

    00020334.gif Pigpen for the lists and Toots for the stars, and thanks Pigpen for making it the LR tomorrow as that's the room I wanted to concentrate on this week, so am really pleased about that! (hope you don't mind me borrowing your smiley FFP)

    Hi Penny nice to see you back

    Welcome Pincher

    I've been really tired all day today and then earlier this evening I had a massive panic attack. It was terrifying. Even tho I knew what it was, I thought I was going to die (I always think that) and was about to get DH to call an ambulance as I just couldn't seem to get my breathing under control and my chest was really hurting. It still aches a bit but I'm much calmer now, just feeling a bit weak and wobbly. At least I will sleep well tonight, they are exhausting!

    Tomorrow I'm planning to carry on with the washing up and trying the keep the kitchen floor clear and then start on the LR list. I'm going to do what I did last week and stick to one list until it is finished as I had such good results in the kitchen last week, could really see the results even tho I didn't quite finish the list.
