    :eek: I haven't done the bed yet - now I AM worried :rotfl:

    I have TD and WM x 2 and have the socks finishing off on the radiators. There are so many socks you would think I was doing Pigger's washing:rotfl:clearly snow means 3-4 pairs of socks per child per day :rolleyes: I also dried the wet stuff of DS's on the maiden instead of washing it - it was NOT dirty just wet from playing in the snow ;) and returned it to the appropriate places then it can be worn again - see I am NOT THAT laundry obsessed.
    Oh and my woollies are TD'd and finishing off on the maiden now - so they won't need ironing.

    That reminds me - the other week I was walking past the Masonic Hall and one of them was outside having a fag...he had his apron on and everything...I didn't half do a rubbernecking job. I think there was a gate open usually you can't see ANYTHING and they have even had their external fire escape covered over so nothing can be seen. Probably be 'the night of the long knives' for me now - still it was nice knowing you all!

    No NO NO NO NO NO. Please. My DS is only 2...I don't want to think about this yet....I can't bear it. Boys nappies were bad enough...he is already starting on the pooh, bum, willy business. AAAaaaaaaaarrrrgggghhhhh

    On a brighter note (like my bathroom tiles:A) I have hoovered all the cobwebs from my bathroom ceiling and nooks and crannies. The shower curtain didn't go up in the hoover - I'll wash it next week - and I've thrown away the out of dates and empties:D. Nearly there. Just got to clean those windows (do I have to move the stuff off the sills and do those too?).

    DH has put 3 more boxes on the landing though, and is now watching TV. Maybe I'll declutter him next...

    Please can I have a medal instead of just a star - I am exhausted. Who knew that visitors could stay for just one night and dirty so much in a bathroom not much bigger than the bath itself? But all three and the downstairs loo are now gleaming and shiny and smelling a bit odd because I bought very cheap loo stuff on 3-4-2 and its really unpleasant.
    Still have some office stuff to do as cleaning the floor and tidying up disturbed some hibernating filing and 'stuff' that needs to be dealt with...
