    In this week - I've made a start on the kitchen, worktops all clean, washing up done (I did offer to do yours Ashia:D) and I even had a go at the floor this afternoon.

    Not really caught up with last weeks thread as lappy threw a viral wobbly and it took a few days to sort it out, had to reset so lost loads of stuff.

    Won't be doing much tomorrow night off to the gym after work and then OH is treating me to a meal (at the gym, but they do some nice stuff)

    I shall have to get some wrapping paper and start on the pressies, then I might find out if I need to sort out any other ones. I have just about got all the food and treats in for Christmas.

    Lady L - Sending hugs for you for tomrrow.

    We have been working in a huge project in the office for the last 31/2 months. It's been hard work and the wind down to Christmas is going to be really pleasant or at least it should be. So I may actually have some energy left in the evening to get some flying done:rotfl:

    Off to bed now, so see you all in the morning

    Hopefully I can focus a bit more this week. My boys finish their term around noon on Wednesday and I'm aiming to get 3 job applications done this side of Christmas. I need to get gifts wrapped and posted, and work out which are left to sort out. Not having much luck clearing things through Freecycle at the moment so I'll take some things into another charity shop tomorrow.

    I'll try to sit down and write my 'extras' list after tomorrow morning's school run - see you then!

    I'd just been reading about LL's consultant and all his potential injuries, and I thought you said you were going to do ear piercing :confused: I think I need an eye test! :rotfl:Why are you panicing? I'm glad to see that operation GYWIBOT (Get your washing in basket on time) is going well, you are doing future wives and gf's a great service

    LL, will be thinking of you tomorrow as well as wondering how your consultants ear piercing is going apparently!

    I've foolishly invited my friends from Devon round for lunch tomorrow. I wll now be flyng all morning to get the place ready. I'm gently trying to encourage DH to put a week's worth of dinner plates/glasses/beer cans/beer bottles/sauce bottles/salt in the kitchen. Not sure it's getting through :rotfl:nobashing2.gif :rotfl:

    Going to bed before my good mood wears off, I'm all giggly! Dunno why! :confused::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

  • thanks for the thread Pigpen. Toots and Soappie

    I'm going to try to get some of the lists done but I HAVE TO FINISH the blerdy DR this week as its getting on my boobs, big time. We can't put the tree up yet as the DR stuff is sitting in the tree space that I created last week and I think that my DD is about to give up talking to me if I don't sort it out soon [that may be a blessing in disguise though Hmmmmmmmmmm wonders what to do now decorate or have peace]
    I also need to wrap pressies [after the DR is done] but if all else fails DH is going to take the kiddies out for the day next week so I can crack on with it then.
    The house is messy cos theres dust everywhere from sanding the walls and thats gonna be finished by Tuesday so I can start painting Weds - well thats the plan lol

    Good luck to LadyL for tomorrow
    Birthday wishes to those of you celebrating this week and
    Hugs to those of you who need them

    I'll try to pop on this week but I really need to do the DR - chants must do DR, must do DR
