    Monday~ Kitchen of Grot and Dining Room of Gloom All done :)
    (cupboard cleaning was substituted for cleaning and sorting some of DS's toys, and as I don't really iron very often I did another load of laundry and hung up).
    Also did quite a lot of cleaning round other rooms so will have a nice headstart with other days when I have more things on!
    Sorry this is in bold but cannot get it to un-format lol!

    Work call done... some pension paperwork done. So I think I should make the rest of my phone calls (insurance/pension/woodstove) then get the washing in, wash the floor and go to the post office...

    Afternoon my lovelies – been in a serious CBA mood last week I only S&S’d the house and after all my hard work the week before!! Ah well, at least it still looks presentable.

    I’m off Friday and Monday thank goodness, so will have 4 days to catch up and do some dreaded X$*S shopping. I am a right Bah Humbug person – it could be cancelled for me!

    DS not home this week after all, should have been on a weeks leave, but that’s the army for you I’m afraid, so we won’t get to see him until the 28th December now. DD2 doing my chuffing head in, she’s such a princess and wants everyone to drop everything for her WHEN SHE says so, not when it’s mutually convenient and also being an !!!! about money as usual. Can’t be bothered going in all the ins and outs. Wouldn’t mind but she’s at uni now.

    I’m sorry I haven’t caught up with the thread, so love and hugs to those that need them, especially Toots and LL and mudders.

    On a flying note, I’ve S&S’d kitchen, loaded washer and loaded dryer. At work which is seriously doing my head in. Oooh and HHI!!

    Well, I thought I would start and be a proper housewife. Start with the flylady thread, but couldn't believe that by the time I looked at it there were 117 messages in the thread! How do folks manage?

    Is TUesday posted in the same thread and if so how do I find it among the next 117 messages? Oh heck!

    Not quite finished the MOnday list, but have done lots of other things as well.
