Kids in full day today so might get something done. Doubt i'll get the bedroom done though as Jase has got to move boxes and put things in the attic.

At least if i have no housework to do tomorrow it means i can rest and build myself up for friday xxxx

    Friend is coming to pick up her bags in a couple of hours thankfully, I can have my flat back properly! Will post my list after that. Think I may be coming down with a cold so can't go and give blood. Will wait til I come back on Monday.

    Hugs to everyone

    Pigpen - deepest sympathy from me to you and yours
    Mudbath - hugs, glad he is feeling a bit better
    HollyH - well done! I gained a pound this week - whoops.
    Toots - I liked the stones thing too. My DH is very that way inclined and has kept stones or wood from everywhere we have lived or stayed, I still have the crumpled remains of a leaf he hid in my work lap top bag eight years ago when we first met. Other people get flowers, I get leaves from the tree closest to where we met!
    Boddy - congratulations
    Rosepink - thanks for the hug

    I have been food shopping, put it away and am now trying to decide if I should go for my run first and clean later, or just get on with the kitchen. DH is away tonight so may take the boys to Pizza Hut or bowling for tea straight from school. Decisions, decisions.....

    PIGPEN I'm so sorry. Will be thinking of you and your family.

    Have found out why I slept yesterday, have stomach virus. My friend rang up asking if I wanted to pop round for coffee, said I wouldn't because of stomach. She didn't hear me, so I said that I'd got the screaming abdadbs. To which she replied "Oh !!!!!!" Took her 5 minutes to realise why I was cackling down the phone at her. She is such a Mrs Malaprop. Right when the stomach is feeling a little less ikky will bin bag dance around the house ( and change the litter tray of doom):eek:. TTFN
    The problem with common sense is its not very common:rotfl:
