Yey Kitchen all done

Hugs to all those having problems with exs/wish they were exs. Sorry no advice but I wish each and everyone of you happiness for the coming year.

Almost time for dinner.

Plan to get the kids back to normal bedtimes tonight and to finish my ironing.

taffy welcome home yes still full of gasbags here as my Gran would say, good luck catching up, start with finding a place for everything. Maybe even a written list of what it is and where you would like it, then next to it if you need to buy/find something to put it in. Even being daring thinking of something to declutter so it can go in it's place
fedup, oh I hate calling you that, ((hugs)) not the best time of year for those recently seperated but a time dreams & aspirations should be made x
greenbee welcome home, your plan sounds lovely!
Axey it's a Half Hour Challenge, go do something for half an hour or see how much you will get done in one, knowing others around the country/world are with you in spirit, you will be suprise (HHI is Iron HHF is Fling etc)
nicki mmmm hot chocolate, I must get me one

Wohoooooo I managed to get Belle to eat, she's refused to feed for a week but just got her to hand feed a single cricket & I am over the moon. I seriously thought we were going to loose her through this & had got my Dad to get me a syringe to try tube feeding her. I tried puree worms on her nose yesterday & she refused, was closing her eyes when DP tried to feed her. She has had us so upset & stressed I cried with relief, silly stroppy lizards (and softy me) no worries like that with the Chameleon he is a pig. On a roll & happy I did the sitting room, now messy after the millenium falcon was opened but DP even helped by vacuuming it. 7 more bin bags into garage....if I call them tomorrow to enquire about them not turning up & they say to put any missed bags out this week they will have ALL of them!!

Going to go get boys tea finished & empty the DW, ttfn x x

A HHC is a half-hour challenge. Set a timer for 30 mins and see how much you can get done in the time Its the only way I can get things done sometimes


As for my plans, correction - I'm off to eat my pizza

greenbee

Frozen food unpacked and put away. Stove lit.

Off to have a rest after all that effort

juliejim

Star please TOOTS!

Kitchen all done and tea now on the go.

I might have a sit down this evening with a mag or a book as I've done loads today although I have got rather a lot of ironing to do:rolleyes:.

Mudbath

Lol Hypno - don't worry, I'll slow down now!

Dusty - our plan was to get back to normal bedtimes tonight but some very good friends have just phoned to invite us all round at 730:eek: Think it's going to be a late(ish) night. Oh well, they can go to bed early tomorrow and Wednesday and then it's New Year's Eve.

My clinic is now decluttered. I'll do the floor in the morning. I've also sorted out a lot of the recycling. There's no point doing the floor now because DH will be in and out of there (to get to utility/what's left of garage) in the morning. I've also done washing load x 2 and sorted a mountain of underwear. See, I can work sometimes. :rotfl:

Now i'm going to start a jigsaw - my 70s retro sweet jigsaw. I love it :Dxx

Dorastar

Thanks for all the advice about starting with level 1 and about taking as long as it takes - have given the floor and table a sweep over but dh has got 8 people round for a curry tonight so thought I'd leave most of it till tomorrow or I'd end up doing it twice!
