    Tomorrows list is now up.. it has taken me 3 HOURS to get the darn thing to post for some reason.

    The front room is now almost devoid of OH's stuff.. and the bedroom is now full of it all.. BUT I did get it vacuumed before it was reburied!

    I need to vacuum the crumbs from my keyboard tomorrow too as my 'M' button is being quite hard to type with, as are several of the others.

    We have a computer and a double mattress to deposit at DS1's tomorrow.. :D .. FLING.. that'll be soe more gibble out of the house!

    OH is being tasked with tidying the front and middle rooms and I intend painting the hallway.. and then we can do the kitchen. He is just emptying bins and loading DW and being all efficient again.. while I am slobbed in bed!! lol

    I want to get some halloween baking done tomorrow too.. I have been all adventurous and ordered ingredients to make butternut squash soup... I make the worst soup in the world so this better be edible or I shall be VERY upset!

    I have cupcakes with webs and cookies with pumpkin icing and gingerbread man skeletons to make tomorrow and rice-crispy spiders..

    Cuppa and bed for me I think!

    Hi all, holiday cut short unfortunately, we'd not been feeling great but last night DS1 started unwell so we came home. He's same as we were, headache, hot/cold all the time but was just sat shaking violently so I prefer to be home where I have friends closeby if needed and not passing bugs (we'd avoiding swimming etc with us feeling ill) Have had the washer on since I got back, DP soaked the linen last night with sweating whatever it is out, yuk!!!!!

    Anyway I am going to jump in the shower as DS1s just gone back to sleep, he's very restless so think I will be in for a long night then I need to go empty and clean the caravan tomorrow (((hugs))) to you all.

    Toochoosey Happy Birthday, just on time :) pleased you had a lovely day
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
