Mudders - re car - it never fails to amaze me how your life is never simple! Glad noone hurt though
carlsberg - thanks for your lovely comments chickGood luck at doctors, hope not too emotional for all (well obviously it will be but will be thinking of you)
ffp - totally sucks about your school, good luck with your fight
YAY just seen it chillies rooms tomorrow - I've done quite a bit on and off over the week in their rooms so dont need to do much at all :j:j:j
Have decided that as I've done a full week of flying (go me), next week I am going to - wait for it - not do ANY and do decorating instead:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
I hate decorating. I dont seem to be able to paint without getting it everywhere, no matter how careful I am, so for me there is a lot of covering stuff up or moving it first, then a lot of cleaning afterwards and its aq nightmare with little one around.
I started the playroom about 2 months ago and then stopped. We have DD1'2 party in 2 weeks and the place looks carp because there are blobs of pollyfilla everywhere, sanded off parts of ceilng and tester patches of paint.
So next week I will do a bit each day, and also some present wrapping, and maybe some ebay listing AND NO FLYING - DO NOT LET ME !!!
right I shuld be in bed, was shattered this morning, can see the same thing happening tomorrow :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

I really need to repaint the woodwork in the bathroom...
I did the prep about 3 weeks ago... so there is nothing "techically" stopping me :rolleyes:
And I have a bit of skirting missing in the kitchen.
Then I wouldn't mind getting the back bedroom done for Hogmany
I might give it a start next week too. :T

Traditionally in our house the Christmas tree used to be put up on the 15th as it is my birthday on the 14th and my mother never wanted it to be mixed up with Christmas. The last couple of years though it has been Christmas eve and I have still been dressing the tree! I guess if I still saw my nephews I would put it up earlier with them but since my family disowned me I don't so there doesn't seem to be much point.
To everyone who is poorly- get well soon.
So my lists today are:
Feed the cat at least twice
Brush the cat
Sort and delete 30 emails
reply to emails
Clean bathroom sink
Spray bleach on the bottoms of the shower curtains
Email R
Fill WM and put on
Extras
Download programme for editing pictures from somewhere
type up receipt for Cleaning lady (wrong day)
Take hire car back with OH and pick up ours
Yet more sorting through the crate of doom (which is now 2 crates of doom)
ring Homecare re pillow cases
Look at Abel and Cole website
Plant garlic - weather permitting
Have a good day flying

Weather here is awful at the moment and I couldn't sleep because of the rain waking me up, so I got up. Been up for about an hour, and still have tummy ache. Was hoping it may have eased off by now as it's the third day of having it. I went to bed without taking my sleeping tablet last night as don't have many left and wanted to save them until I get back to school. I managed to sleep from 10pm til 6am, so that is the 8 hours recommended.
Have fed the cat, made some tea and caught up with the thread. Can't do an awful lot in terms of flying, until OH is awake as don't want to make too much noise. The house if fairly tidy, but it really needs a good hoover and dust.
Hope everyone is well,

Good morning everyone :beer:
Pigpen - CH-arming
Our tree will still be in the ground until the weekend before the big day :T which is why we'd never have it up earlier than a few days before the day as an artificial tree will never cross my threashold
The wallpaper stripping didn;t go too badly yesterday. I've about another hour to do, so once I've decluttered DS to school, I'll HHC 8:30 - 9:00, then finish it off :j
Off to catch up on the thread, then find a list
