    I have 4 and a half weeks until my parents descend on us! Last week was the first time the house had been cleaned in a very long while. I hope these lists will help me to get there. We have done a lot of decorating since they were last here so I want the house to give them a really good impression. I will keep you going if you can do the same for me!

  • morning,

    i am in again this week, feeling confident that i can get all 5 stars again this week!!! :D

    thanks to pigpen, toots and soappie for the lists and stars!

    welcome to all the newbies

    didn't manage to catch up on all the last thread but just thought i'd throw myself into the accent thing - i'm a yorkshire gal, but live in grimsby now, did used to have quite a strong yorkie accent but apparently i am now 'posh' and i have to remember that 'am frum tarn' according to my cousins!! :rotfl:
    if i spend too much time on the phone to my family i do turn back into a barnsley gal though!! it just all comes back to me!!
    saying that though, i do struggle to read texts from my lil sis as she uses text speak AND barnsley slang!!

    had a good weekend, saturday was spent with DD, her friend and DH - we went to a local soft play, then mcdonalds and then swimming, the girls loved it and Abiane didn't want her friend to go home!!
    yesterday i spent the day baking goodies - mainly fairy cakes and cookies, a lot of them went in the freezer, making a roast dinner and making a double sided draught excluder,(first time) quite happy at the way that turned out so i can make another 2 now! had a late afternoon nap as well, which is a very rare thing in this house!!:rotfl:

    so far this morning i have
    • made DH's pack up and decluttered him to work
    • sorted out brekkie for DD and me
    • swept kitchen floor
    • s&s bathroom
    • DD dusted skirtings in LR for me
    • filled sink up ready to wash the pots!! :rotfl:

    I have done all three levels for the hallway and stairs and I have also done the landing as it is not that big. That should give me more time on the bedroom later in the week.

    I am having a well earned break after hoovering the stairs and then I am going to finish the ironing before tackling the living room.

    Morning all, I am in again this week. Working 4 days and DD back to school on Thurs, DS in nursery all week so will be flying of an evening when they are in bed, although I am getting a bit behind on my studying so may need to split flying time and studying time.

    Off to the local lifeboat station open day/fair today, weather is looking ok at the minute, fingers crossed.

    Thank you Pigpen, Toots/Soappie and welcome to newbies.

    Happy birthday to Noah.

    As for accents, I am in Merseyside so scouse for me (although I am not from Liverpool so not very strong) x x
