We've had no snow here at all. Whilst I envy you all that have had lots,m I suspect I would be totally fed up with it by now as you are.

Kitchen is looking sparkling and I'm gonna have a soak in the bath to de-clutter self of bugs and noxious odours before starting in living room. Needs to take down Xmas decorations too.
I had my first ever Real xmas tree this year - I loved it and the needles weren't really a pain at all. Must have been lucky.

I'm trying to summon up the courage to clean DS2's room, someone kick me please.:D

smartie12

I want some snow!!!

Could someone send me some please?? I'm sure a lot of you would be grateful to get rid of some;)

All decs and cards have been removed and put away:j

About to fill the WM and then I might go on either Wii Fit or my new singing game We Sing that my DH got me. Why he got it for me I don't know as I can't sing (I'm really awful:o) but it's great fun!:D

Oh and my 13 year old DS had a phone call early this morning... he's got a paper round and starts tomorrow!!:jI'm ever so nervous about it:o

xx_Jo_xx

Thanks Greenbee - I kept your email address and mine is the same, so will email you when I have looked at it. Ive added linked in to my to-do list, thanks

Thanks lil-me, but I dont have room on my laptop to download it :rolleyes:
good news is I have finished my first week on the meal planner...and I only have to buy milk, bread, fruit, yogurt and cheese! My shopping bill will be next to nothing this week!! My biggest challenge will be making a list and sticking to it!! :rotfl:

Ive decided it will be easiest for me to do my shopping on a Sunday so Im going to do a list for tomorrow which is as above but will meal plan for the next three weeks and write my lists accordingly!! Im loving this.....Pigpen/Toots, can you make me do this every month please??!!

Boys are back from the cinema and pizza hut and are now upstairs playing, I hope they dont make too much mess x

To-do lists by room - Just need to type them up so they're legible now :rotfl:
Dehumidifier juggle
Print out calendar with school hols etc on it.

Just having another coffee then I'm going to go and put stuff away in my bedroom again. I tidied up my chest of drawers but really need to sort through the stuff I'm putting back properly. I think I might actually have to juggle things around due to the amount of clothing I've got in there instead of just toiletries I don't think I'll be buying any Aunt Flo stuff for the rest of the year though - found 3 full boxes which I didn't know I had, ontop of the 3 already open :rotfl:

I'm going to meal plan while I'm sitting here.

ragz how lovely to see you and congratulations on the iminent arrival - you had better be careful and not over do things or I will be shouting and flinging pigpen's mules at you:rotfl: I think as you said the bedroom is a priority!!! Have you a spare room that the baby's clothes could go in or could you put a drawer unit/wardrobe in the hall?? try to think of somewhere to put them as it will help with keeping the place tidyish!!!
toots xx

Thanks for the welcome Toots. No spare room (2 bed bungalow, already filled with me OH and 2 toddlers) and the boys are too young for bunk beds for a while so there is NO room in their bedroom for baby cot or even her clothes! Hallway is only just wide enough for me to waddle down lol so no hope there! There's just enough room to squeeze a Moses basket in our room at the moment, clothes will just have to be stuck under our bed (once I've decluttered that, but of course can't lift the darn thing at the moment!) for now. Think we'll be moving next year! (Only just paid off debts from last time we moved which ended up VERY expensive because we had to pay rent on the old house for 5 months, long story - mostly my fault)

Flying wise, I did at least get the dresser area in our room cleared for midwives to use as a table during the birth and I can see most of the floor now. Cleaned the toilet, kitchen looks OK so I think I'll have a break now. Returned the slippers, only £6 but better than nothing, though I did feel really car sick the whole way as had to go in OH's car and it's a bit agricultural! More tea required I think, then I'll make some lists like what really really needs doing before baby arrives and ways to spend less money so we can afford to move again.

Mudbath - well done on the soup, it can be a daunting thing to make

OH is desperate to get back on his Air Gun Forum :rolleyes: so I'll be back tomorrow...
