    I've not been keeping up with the thread this week as I have been at work, but I have a couple of days off from tomorrow so can catch up then.

    I am glad, though, that today is "bedroom day", because I reckon I can do mine this evening - when OH moved out at the weekend he took the bed and two chests of drawers with him, so there is very little in the room for me to tidy! No problems with tidying under the bed for me today :cool: Every cloud, and all that.........

    Hugs to all that need x

    Morning everyone,

    Not a brilliant start to the day as DD's had a ridiculous 'hairspray' fight in the bathroom resulting in youngest DD looking like a muppet, the bathroom wrecked and the house stinking!!

    Hairspray is binned, DD3 has hair pinned tightly into a plait (which she hates), DD2 had ipod confiscated (and then mouthed off, so ended up losing her phone too).

    Bathroom is in the washing machine (shower curtain, towels and mat!), house is freezing upstairs trying to blow smell away (remember I've no CH and it's -3 this morning!!), DD2 has gone to school in an almighty strop yelling that I'm a bad mother and I'm sitting in a corner rocking alternately laughing and knocking head off of wall - arghhhhhh!!

    I think I have the most dysfunctional life of anyone I know!!

    Oh well, onwards etc. I spent ages at the weekend sorting out wardrobe so am delighted to report it's already gleaming, although would like to make some lavender bags to keep clothes fresh in there.

    Happy flying everyone xx

    Morning all,

    It's raining so we're not going to the castle this morning. I've got 10 mins before i have to go back out to take Ds2 to nursery so i'm feeding my caffeine addiction. When i get back i'm going to do 3 HHC's from 9.15 - 10.45. then i'll update my list, i find if i turn the laptop on it's ages before i get moving.
