Sorry to have mislead you all I have done all 3 kids rooms this weekend just gone/start of week so it would have been mean to give that

Walked to town with friend and her kids and did my banking/shop returns, that's enough exercise and fresh air for a day. Got back and big 2 had lit the fire which was sensible as they were in the living room and the heating is off. They have used up a surprising amount of kindling/logs:eek:

Why are blokes like horoscopes?

They always tell you what to do and are usually wrong!

fluff me! I have cleaned DS's room - dusted grotty surfaces and found a torn 'wrapper'____________ :eek: he's 16 (fill in the gap yourselves) I am guessing they have been giving them out at schooL or something (It wasn't one of the brand I had bought on BOGOF :rotfl:):...I have NOT found what was in it. And I am not looking.
I will change the beds tomorrow as per usual so I'll claim the star then!
Had some lunch and picked up parcel from sorting office. Car had thawed out nicely;)
Now I need to crack on

I have been doing level one this week as I am not feeling terribly well but I have tomorrow off work so will probably either be in bed or rearing to clean the house. Only additional one for me was the Christmas tree and the mess of needles that went from front room through passage to kitchen thanks to son who dragged it along! Today I will move the bookshelf back to the front room from our bedroom to take its place where the tree was! phew.... why are boys so messy???

pigpen

Valli.. at least he didn't leave a mess on the sheets.. and it will have gone in the bin on the way to school.. Unless it is behind his PC like DS1 left a few.. *bleurgh!!*

Replace any sponges/flannels/toothbrushes etc that need it DONE!
throw out any empty bottles.. decant dribbles into fuller bottles Thrown out empties - why do we keep them??

Plus, emptied bathroom bin and took rubbish out for binmen; informed bin men not coming, so took it back in again (not into the house, just into the yard); made dinner from store cupboard (different thread) - just for one - hubby went to work on Tuesday and hasnt been seen since (Dont worry - he is ok, been talking on email, but he is stuck at work 70 miles away); dug out the car and drove to town to post application form (filled in the other day) - the closing date is Monday.
So all in all, not too bad, considering we appear to have been working from the wrong day! Never mind, one less for tommorrow - and in any case, I dont have children at home any more so that's less of an issue for me.
