: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 hate to say this valli but are a lot of the socks your DS' ? might be a reason for that:eek:
I caught my 4 year old playing with his togder a couple of weeks ago, he had his ladder from his farm yard set over it and then he got a sheep and pretended that the sheep kissed his tail:eek: I started to snigger and he looked up and said Oh no! I told him he shouldnt do that as it might hurt it and if he wanted to touch it he should shut his door and wash his hands afterwards! Didnt know what to say really.:oSame here, despite children.
Three rules here:
1. Never move a sleeping cat
2. If a child asks you to read to them then you do it
3. There is no such thing as too many books

Drum roll please - I have just gone through all the cookbooks etc - and ditched at least a third of them. And all the instructions for the microwave before last etc... DH looks quite shocked that I'm getting rid of books??
Decided cake dec books really could live in my office, and that leaves lots of room for DS's growing collection of junior cookbooks. He loves cooking, and it encourages him to keep trying to read, and to be fair he is turning into a really good little cook - makes far better pastry than I do, and great scones.
Been dotting about as well so list is now shorter..
library - find & return books (found but not open until tomorrow?)
p.mag - issue invoices, start 2009 accounts (in year is done - need to add on last 4 months)
nct - sort garage bits, update treasurer, get out NNS lists & make a date for planning meeting, speak to HS, RBC forms up to date?

running a defrag now and a bath is calling my name.Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
