    Ooh, I've done something!!
    Wednesday ~ Master bedroom and Landing Done!!:D:D:D
    Level One
    Level Two
    Level Three
    Thursday ~ Living room/s, Hall stairs.. and.. and garage! (HA!!) Done!!:D:D:D
    Level One
    Level Two
    Level Three

    (The garage was done by the boys a couple of weeks ago as DS2 wanted to set up a mini gym, and the attic doesn't need doing.)

    Very much doubt I'll get anything else done this weekend.

    Off into town to meet DD from work, and do some shopping.

    pigpen - I was about to type exactly what soappie did - pull yourself together woman!! (Love and hugs anyway. You're right re Christmas Day.)

    :bdaycake:Happy birthday AnW's mum!!:bdaycake:

    And pigpen's DD.

    Have been out for lunch, went to M&S to get some bits but it was rammed so went to Mr S instead. When I can be bothered to move I am making some of Nigella's chilli jam this aft. Need to sterilise the jars.

    Also need to hang up the wm load that has just finished, fly in the bathroom and wrap some prezzies. DH is a bit more positive now but still quieter than usual. The local safer neighbourhood team are supposed to be doing a street briefing on our road later this aft so I shall go along and complain about the kebab shop needing a bin, and the off license selling super strength lager and vodka to people from the mental health hospital opposite.

    Fresh tuna, black beans and salad for us tonight - needed a healthier night!

    Hugs pigpen and Happy Birthday to Mimi.

    I've been sorting out the drawers in the LR and have decluttered a bag of colouring books to the twins.
