    Have dusted, hoovered downstairs, decluttered the livingroom of DD's books (which will no doubt reappear within the hour:rolleyes:), WM, TD just about to stick the bath mats and pillow in.

    I can get where you are all coming from with the kids clubs all starting up again. Piper came home today with a letter about the Pixies so she wants to go on Tuesday so that's another one to add to my list and the Storykeepers is about to start again (first friday in October I think) so I'll have that to do again. It will be better this year though as DD is old enough to go with DS2 instead of crying that she wants to go too.

    Tinkerbellsmum don't worry too much about it I normally have a washing that could sink the Titanic. If anyone asks about do it what I do and say you paid a lot of money for that sculpture of Ben Nevis:rotfl::rotfl:. Just take it one step at a time.

    Hiya:wave:
    Just wanted to pop on and send hugs to you all. I'm trying desperately to finish all the assignments for my cancer care diploma so i'm not flying much. I'll keep popping on to see how you're all doing but I won't be flying much until this is all done. I'm going to complete a piece of work a day even!!! I'll be back big style once this work is all out of the way.
    Take care xxxxxx

    Right just off to do a HHC on the spare room/study tidy up and find a home for all the chirstmas hamper presents, clear the desk again etc and regain the room!

    My dental hygienist gave some good advice regarding my teeth that stain easily despite not drinking red wine and large amounts of tea and coffee. She recommended using a toothpast with bicarb weekly, I used to buy the colgate weekly but found it a bit expensive really which my other hygienist recommended previously. So off I go to find some and get a large tube which will last longer than the weekly stuff when used weekly and increase the time spent inbetween polishes!

    Afternoon everyone!

    I did our bedroom today - never mind, I'll be in front tomorrow!

    Have to wait in tomorrow for a repairman for the microwave - only 2 years old (the microwave - not the chap!) so I'm a bit peed off. hope he gets here before I go to work in the afternoon otherwise he'll be left in DS capable (?!) hands.

    :eek:Still have some of tuesdays list to do, was way too tired last night, Rose DD must attend meetings with her YOO once a fortnight, do 6 hrs community service with them and 2 hours punishment for me, she will attend a drink/drug course,self esteem group (to help build hers up) and also attend school for the next 4 month period oh and she gets a mentor to take her out and do stuff(not sure of this one but it was offered and she jumped at the chance to go bowling/pictures etc etc) it is a 4 month refferal order and if any of the contract is broken she will be in more trouble.

    Still have all of todays list to do :eek: but i have had a very productive day :T went to Mr T's and got DD a baby born swim doll for £6.11 :D am well chuffed, also managed to get DD a bed so i can get her back upstairs i was cheeky and asked my neighbour if she had a spare bed(she used to foster) so i snagged a low cabin bed and a mattress for a fiver (will deffo be giving her a bit more for it as it is almost brand new):T:j:T she is :A:A. Off to cook tea and will try to get todays and yesterdays jobs done later tonight, hugs to all that need/want/like them and positive healthy vibes to the poorlies.x
