    Right, back now, after a quick stop off to buy chick peas and black pepper. I'm going to make some houmous later. It always really grieves me paying for ready made when it's so cheap to make.

    So, off to clean and clear a cupboard, and wash the kitchen window.

    Green caterpillar chrysalis neatly suspended from top shelf? Check.

    WHAT??????

    :eek:

    I think it must have come in on the home-grown beetroot/leaves at the weekend. :o "Blimey!" he thought. "Winter's come on a bit suddenly, hasn't it? Off to snooze...."

    And there he was. A cabbage white chrysalis nestling next to the shredded suet box.

    Have popped him gently in the eaves of my garden shed....

    Afternoon all,

    Healing vibes to Mudbaths Dad.

    Ds1 is driving me mad :mad:, he's on report in school for messing around in class and not doing his homework ( which he doesn't write in his homework diary so i don't know what he's got ). His report started today and it's for 2 weeks. I've taken his Xbox off him for the duration of the report and since he got home he's been stomping around kicking things and slamming doors:mad::mad::mad:. He's supposed to be cleaning his room but i doubt he is. His report today says he forgot 2 out of 4 books, didn't take his PE kit and messed around in 2 lessons. He claims he lost his timetable so didn't know what books to take. His bag should have been packed last night and i've got a copy of his timetable on the PC so if he'd told me i could have printed him another one off.:mad: I'm at my wits end with him at the moment, it's a constant fight to get him to do anything.

    Apart from that since my last post i have

    Nursery run
    Made & eaten lunch
    Washed up
    S & S Kitchen
    Hoovered & mopped Bathroom
    Brought dry washing in
    Put washing out

  • Hi Toots, thanks for the PM I would love to join, im off to Germany on Wednesday home on Monday and back into work on Tuesday. I do usually manage to get an hour or so of cleaning in each day but weekend gone has been chaos (ive done overtime at work so ment I havent done ANYTHING at home) and as the kids have been fending for themselves so to speak you can imagine what the place looks like! (3 kids 17, 13, 12 (one of which is hormonal) home alone and causing chaos) I found the flylady website about a year and half ago and found it a great site to help me get motivated and I must say I do rely on my timer coz my problem is I get bored easily so 15 mins per room then onto another room then another then a brew break is great for me soon gets the jobs done. I always get dressed to shoes and always shine my sink (even if it does mean emptying it and putting the dirty stuff on the side lol although I must admit shiny sink didnt happen at weekend :'( no space on worktop for a start!!! LOL.
