    OK, remember this 'before' picture?

    floor.jpg

    Well, this is the same area after...

    Floor1.jpg


    I may put some more pix up on facebook later.

    Soappie - they look very similar to mine (both before and after :D ). Wish I'd taken some "before" photos now :o

    In my HHC, I've tidied the kitchen and done more on the Scouts accounts :eek:

    Off to the Doc's now - HHC when I'm back :T

    Good morning all!

    Just got back from doctor's with DS2 and DH. DH is on the mend, doctor happy with progress. DS2 and I have some kind of stomach bug (knew that before I went, really). Was given advice re food and drink, and some rehydration sachets. They taste awful - had them before - and I don't think DS2 will drink them, but I'll try. I've also got some other meds at home I'm allowed to take. Feeling worse than yesterday now.

    I also had to phone school re DS1's exchange partner. Not sure if he should come in our house at the moment, until we are better, because I don't want him to be ill, too. They are only over here for a week and I want him to enjoy his stay. The teacher organising the exchange will get back to me later. To be honest, I wouldn't mind if he went somewhere else for a couple of days first - it would give me longer to get sorted.

    The freezer repair man may come between 12 and 1pm, so I'll have to make an effort in the Dining ROD. HHC 10.45 - 11.15 and 11.30 - 12, I think, if anyone wants to join.

    Well I caught up with the other todays, so still on track for full week, bairns rooms are easy (I think they've got my cleaning ocd:rotfl:) just need to wash their bedding, windows and that's about it, going to wash bedding today as I don't have a full load of normal stuff and it will dry outside today.

    Sorry haven't been able to keep up with thread (having the three monthly house inspection today) and been making little man his dress up outfit for school. dd is easy she's just going as a witch, hers was a charater from room on the broom book, but ds is a nursery rhyme character (trying to put together a humpty dumpty costume, with his face as the egg, trying to crochet the stuff to go around his face, need to paint a brick wall on either a shirt or cloth, hopefully it will work) anyway if it does I post up the pictures later.

    kids would never take the rehydeation stuff - but it is very good at preventing/treating a hangover......:rolleyes:

    good luck with the French exchange - ours was a nightmare - hope yours is better!
