You can all pat yourself on the back and say 'at least I'm not as scummy as that Cosmomo' - please don't call social services to take my dds and ds away:D

    The nicest bit was the 30 mins doing something for yourself - I sat down with DS and did my knitting. He'd asked for his blanket earlier and he said 'sit down with me Mummy', held up his blanket and we snuggled up together - so sweet :smileyhea
    Me too - I crocheted and he snuggled!

    Can I have my first star of the week please Toots?

    I've also done a load of decluttering in the bathroom, so it will be easier to clean on bathroom day :cool:
    Hope everyone is well,

  • Congratulations Yorkie for your son!

    Yayyy, that was a successful 2 x HHC. I finally finished off sorting through the Christmas cards and emptied and repacked all the Christmas crafting and wrapping and ribbons away neatly in the huge crate. Had to empty it first as I had just thrown everything in there on Christmas eve and the lid wouldn't go on.

    I am a happy bunny!

    Hope you got your paperwork done Penny and MissH.

    Wow I made it - with only a couple of things to do this evening - and there are only 6 items in the ironing basket anyway so won't fall in a ditch if they don't get done. Can't tell you - though I guess you all know - how much easier it was this week with everything still relatively sane from last week. Very pleased - thanks for the lists and support.

    Since last post have

    Hoovered right through downstairs and up one lot of stairs
    Dusted around electricals in LR and Back Room
    HHI
    Collected all bins and ready to put out tonight for collection tomorrow morning - 6 as I missed last week :eek:
    Sliced and fried off yesterdays leftover potatoes with onion and mushrooms to go with the steak

    Have also dipped toe in the OS thread but admit to feeling much more at home soon and besides one is enough to follow :o


    Well done to Cyclingyorkie DS on passing his theory

    Nicky - Forgot on previous post if you havent found your microwave instruction booklet yet you can usually find all manuals online
    I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints - the sinners are much more fun ;)

    Well done to your DS cyclingyorkie xx

    I'm afraid I have done nothing off the list except level 1.

    I will do a HHC at 4 though and hopefully get lots more done.....


    Here I go............
