Best wishes to Karena & her family xxx

No, I can't sleep. Tried, then the phone rang....so came downstairs to answer the phone to a wrong number. Decided to put a washer load on as I've noticed DP has a pile waiting in the bedroom. Think I will let the dog out then try sleep again.

Rach snap, I gave up back tracking, I remember doing the stuff and being scared to post those Jan 2007 one, wow three years ago and on my third house, Ishtar is there too.....mad looking back. I didn't have a slow cooker, bread maker etc or a dishwasher (I know that one because we moved into the other house with one in 2007, I was an OS infant Wonder if Flyboy's ears are burning yet? Thinking back there is babies and all sorts since.

Morning All

I've been up since 3am - woke up at 2.10 and couldn't get back sleep so got up intending to go back to bed - haven't yet though and now the kids are up.

Sexy - you and I joined at the same time then.

Not sure what's on the agenda for today - I want a bath later so I'll probably fall asleep in that.

So far I've sorted through a pile of papers and recycled most of it
Emptied and reloaded TD & WM - haven't put the TD on though as it's really noisy.

Hope everyone's well

Have a good day all

Hugs

TD's now on as everyone is awake although kids and DH are now watching a DVD in bed - DH is supposed to be getting in the bath though.

Don't know whether to put a DVD on myself now down here and do some ironing.

Ironing at 6am :eek::eek: it should be banned :rotfl:

Oops where are my manners, morning

Miss A is absolutely shattered this morning, she had a great time snowboarding yesterday. Got Sunday school winter walk today.

Need to check the book numbers and will be back to you this afternoon Jue also I am going to make sure everything is parcelled and ready to post for those I have promised to.

ETA: Seems there is a major issue with IE, some of you might want to consider using another browser. And thanks for the heads up re using Turbolister today Dusty

Morning all.

We have a bit of sunshine today and no rain! Not sure how my day will pan out, but it'll probably involve bathing the dog and writing.

Morning All, hope you have all had a lovely week/weekend so far. I feel as though I have been playing catch up all week, because I felt poorly on Monday. However, having caught up to some degree have managed up to Level 3 for 3/5 days :j. TOOTS - can I have 2 more stars please, thank you x

I am loving this thread, the house seems much more organised because of it. Will catch up with everybody else's posts later on today. I am away to clear out my Airing Cupboard :eek:, its been a while since it was looked at.

My Sunday List

• Airing Cupboard
• S&S Kitchen, Family Room, Bathroom
