    Just going to get the vaccum upstairs and do our bedroom and the stairs leading to it (3 story house, so our bedroom is all alone away rom pesky kids ;) ) the landing and downstairs! should keep me busy until OH gets in and I have to take DD1 to Rainbows in the rain! Also need to wash up but I think I will do that as I cook dinner.

    Well done Miss H I often feel tempted to ban every1 from the house to keep it clean!!

    P.Penguin - thats so funny about ur son, I agree with Boodle its very "dr pepper advert" :rotfl:

    Well Done Jassa I dont think I could ever bring myself to throw away shoes that were still wearable!! I never suffer from blisters or them hurting my feet so never get that excuse. I'm banned from buying shoes though OH says NO!! :rotfl:

    Right running out of time better get this vaccum up the stairs. Oh in my decluttering mode and sorting boxes I removed my xmas bag from the girls room and took up to our bedroom to go with the other xmas items and presents and I discovered a pair of slippers which I brought in the Jan sales for DD1, good job I found them as they were on my list to buy her some! and I also found the new belt for the other vacuum which broke last week :j so I get my upright vax bk instead of "R2D2" as we call it lol

    Right Happy FLYing all

    Worked this morning, and home this afternoon. I'd planned all sorts of things, but it's rained and rained and I just didn't feel like doing anything. DS1 has finally finished reloading all my folders and also the bookmarked favourites, so I have all my favourite sites to wander around again!

    Off to make curry for dinner, and take DS2 to rugby practice. I think it's stopped raining for him.

    soappie - top news, about flat and floorboards!

    Hugs to all the poorlies.

    It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be
  • hey all!!

    Not much time to stop sorry.. just been SOOOOO busy last few days.
    New carpet fitted in our bedroom today and OH has finished knocking the wall down and has put in the new sliding doors! Looks very posh, even if I do say so myself.. Im claiming my bedroom STAR PLEASE TOOTS as I have had to dust/clean/hoover every part of it today. have also had good clear out of clothes too (much to OHs disgust!:rotfl:)

    Shelf in wardrobe is all stacked nicely too.

    DS2 (5yo) has been sent home from school with headache... was asleep within 3 minutes!!!! has temp of 100 and a bit of a puffy face, so fingers crossed he'll be ok!! At least he's quiet:rotfl: is it wrong to be grateful for the peace when your kids are ill??:rotfl:


    bedroom looks so good Im all motivated to do the rest of the house now!! Im planning to do the bathroom sometime this week.. its only small so wont take long and my carpet fitter tells me new flooring would cost about £15!!!

    I DO hope everyone is okay.. Im so sorry I havent time to read the thread hugs to you all, whether in need of them or not... as someone else said before you really are all a great bunch!!!


    SarahShattered... would you mind passing on my regards on the Wii thread please? Im just not gonna make it on there tonight. thanks hun


    Mrs B xx
    :rotfl:If you have made someone laugh today... check your skirt isn't tucked into your knickers!!!:rotfl:
