    I reckon that if I'd done some substituting (given all the extras I've done) I might have qualified for stars... but I'm not really that competitive :p The important thing is that I can see (both in the house and on here) what I've done.

    Off to run the bath. The house is full of condensation from the washing that's drying indoors, so the dehumidifier will be working hard!

    juliejim hope you feel better soon
    Crafty we had one like that before, get the roofer to 'pop in' when it rains, ask if he can make a point doing so when it rains. Reminded me I need to phone the council about our leaky pipe.
    Mudbath I got some lovely stuff in a joblot off ebay (some used some new) worked out I paid about £2 per item which was great & topped my wardrobe up, some things I wouldn't have bought, brighter etc than I wear usually but I liked them
    dreamywings sounds lovely :)

    At DPs club 9-3.3, basically providing free chreche as usual then tonight I have FILLED my wardrobe, yes, it's done and I am no longer needing to use the dining room as a floordrobe! Ok well my undies/vanity unit one isn't built yet but will cope for now. My back aches after reaching DPs silly high rail, he's been told he is hanging his own tops in future as he's put it too high (he's over 1ft taller than me!) Did it during bath time for the boys, there is a few things missing which will be in a bag somewhere, got some stuff for next cgarity bag that comes through too.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I've just checked one of the receipts from yesterday and have realised that they didn't charge me for one dress... do I confess (and potentially get the shop assistant into trouble as well as having to cough up, as presumably they won't actually know when the stock went awol unless I let them know) or do I just feel grateful :confused:
    I used to work in a clothes shop and would have prob got a warning if someone had come back in and reported this. As bad as it may make you feel I wouldnt go back in. I would feel guilty for a bit though.

    toots welcome back!:kisses3:
    I have cleaned up after last nights party, had a good game bursting all the balloons;) i hate them hanging around the house.
    Have cooked a roast for 6 and hm apple crumble yum.
    Am bit mad at myself for not doing the tiny bit which needed doing to get my last star and I cant do it now as they are in bed:rotfl:Oh well. went to my aunties to lend her my breadmaker which i havent been using while we have had viewings as it makes my kitchen look cluttered. She wants to buy one but isnt sure whether or not she will get on with it or not. Does anyone on here have one and if so where do they get their flour from? We used to have a flour mill about 5 mins drive away but after the floods a few years ago it closed down. I now have to resort to buying Allisons from Mr T, just not the same.
    Here is the list I didnt finish
    Jobs for half term
    2) finish weeding on allotment before winter strikes did two more hours today, one more session should do it
    3) order muck and potatoes
    6) mark worksheets half done
    7) plan first week back not done but we have inset tomorrow so will only be teaching 2 days this week:D
    13) go to the gym at least 3 times am ashamed to say i didnt go once:o might cancel my membership
    14) finish off shoebox and take in to nursery
    Thursday ~ Childrens pits, spare or neglected rooms!
    Level One
    Level Two

    Dust and deweb
    Wipe sticky grotmarks from the walls


    Will try harder next week. Am trying to decidee whether to start packing boxes or not. Think we may be moving just after :santa2: but it could be before:eek: we havent got a date yet. Dont want to leave it until last minute but dont want to live in a house of boxes. Mil has offered me a room at hers for storage but it seems a bit daft moving things twice. What do you reckon? Have only moved out of my parents into this house and now we have 2 kids and all their stuff too:eek:
