    I have done some washing and some washing up and some iroining and some planning
    *sigh*
    I ordered DD's new phone (birthday gift) through quidco though and a fiver has tracked:D and I can have it Thursday IF I stay in ALL DAY - they must be coining it with 'timed' deliveries which they charge a lot (IMO) for
    oh and AF's put in an appearance - only a month late *sigh* was hoping she'd fluffed off...
    glued DS's xmas biro back together.*sighs deeply and rolls eyes*
    DS's room covered with uniform which now won't be washed until next week *cackles evilly* also half a tub of now melted Ben & Jerry's frozen yogurt - so that will have to be flung. What a waste. Have told him I will NOT follow him around retrieving uneaten ice cream it will be flung...

    (Their dad buys it them at Mr T's - they know better than to ask me for such luxuries)


    Note to self - google for indestructible pens...

    Thank you Honey Bear
  • Hello

    Thank you for my hugs, they did help! Basically I have been let down by someone I considered a friend, nothing major in the grand scheme of things but enough to upset me and I had a good cry earlier. Will be decluttering a LOT of chocolate later!

    Today I also had an eye test (2 years shot past already) and a hair trim and then sanded down and painted my back door. Done 2 coats but it may need a 3rd, looking good though.

    Be back later......

    1 step
    If you wait for perfect conditions, nothing would ever get done! :T
    I'm not short - I'm condensed awesome! :p

    I've just ironed for an hour and 15mins and have managed to do half the pile so quite pleased with that - means I can finish the lot of later and then I can wash uniform tomorrow as I'd decided not to do anymore washing till the ironing was done and as kiddies need uniform I had to iron - phew. It also means I can sort out computer desk as the ironing was all piled in front of it with a small place left so we could get to the comp, no excuse now not to tidy comp desk yet again

    See you all later as DS needs feeding - bloomin kids hehe

    I have decluttered about another 230 bits on top of the other stuff, 90% has been binned.

    I love Mudbaths system.

    Another huge binbag filled, thats 4 today.

    I've a pine bench with a lift up lid where you can out things in the seat area.....the top was full of crapola and has been for months, no space to sit on it.
    Anyway gone through it and found DD1's exam certficates so I put them in a file all together and handed them to her.

    Lodas of old cards, lovely to read them, mainly from OH and DDs.

    Some tampax :eek:, unopened I hasten to add, some shampoo and conditioner, also unopened and a tin of Irish Stew (unopened):rotfl:, all in the bench!!

    Oh and a bag of ebay stuff that should have gone on ebay at christmas, may have to list it soon.

    I've now managed to stash the majority of my ebay wrapping stuff inside the bench including most of the bubblewrap.

    I have also decluttered about 9 of Twinks hobnobs....make that 10...**nomnomnomnom**:rotfl:

    Oh and stashed down the side of the bench I've found 2 packets of unopened curtains that I bought ages ago.

    Back from my walk with sexymouse and her mum. Froddy didn't make it as she's ill, and neither did JillD (has anyone seen her about this week?). Anyway, we had a lovely walk - with a few detours :o.

    Good to see you've all had a productive day. I plan to continue having a bit of a break - supper and DVD or book in front of the fire and then an early night. I will put a load of washing on, but that's it. Flying/work can be done tomorrow.

    Triker - WTG on the credit card, and the decluttering. How about you use some of your leave to have a weekly ebay day between now and April? Now go and put those curtains up wherever they are supposed to go :D
