  • Hi everyone

    Hope your all ok. Not posted so far this wk. Have lurked a bit so have been here in spirit....

    Star for Tuesday please Toots.

    Absolutely nothing done today whatsoever, as i've had a virtual slanging match online with SIL from hell. Loooooong story, but basically her and my MIL treat my DH like dirt. I'm normally a very placid person but stuff she put on FB is just purely for stirring and I got so wound up I dished out some home truths. Prob not the best thing to do and I sort of regret it now for my DHs sake. Now I just feel like crying, cos MIL has sent DH a horrible email saying she wants nothing more to do with him.... :mad:

    Thank you for letting me get this off my chest. I may fly later and try to finish the master BR.

    Now I am crying. I only posted this to take my mind of it :mad:
    I need direction to perfection...

    My list shown above, it's a tall order for me as I have 5 kids in 4 bedrooms all as bad as each other. Little one's is ok as my sister helped on Monday but as for the DS1 and 2 it's gas mask time. DD1 is under pain of death to sort her own room out or she's not staying out tonight at her friend's.

    I was only home for 10 minutes yesterday in between hairdo and going out to collect kids from school. I'm so glad I did Wednesday's list on Tuesday. I dropped the little ones home and ran for the train. I had a fantastic night out with DH. Very tired today and loads to do. Ironing last few bits for holiday tomorrow and must sort utility room out as it's going to be the cat's home for the next week. A neighbour is coming in to feed her and she'd faint at the state of it currently.

    Why am I still typing..... loads to do ....... bye xx
  • I'm in shock, I've got bids on all three of my items that are ending in the next hour! Guess I'd better get wrapping and down to the PO this afternoon!

    In my 2nd HHC of the day, I:
    found shoes that are being sold on ebay
    washed up
    got ingredients out for casserole
    started sorting out a bag of gumph

    Well done Holly, you are on a roll today! How did everyone else get on?

    Was in the paper last week about Amazon no longer using Royal Mail - think it was probably due to the strikes...

    Surely no coincidence that Amazon now offer free delivery with no minimum spend....

    Flying-wise, I've done 2 x loads of washing (including the daily sheets wash from DDs bed....), most of my dailies, and made some lemonade.

    Take care all
