    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

    Hang in there ceebeeby, normal service will be resumed shortly!!!

    How old are the DD's?

    Mornin folks.

    At work today, cleaning out office old paper work files that are about 10 years old, then having a shredding session!!

    Hugs

    These two are 16 and 12 ....!!

    Both had bedroom doors wide open, with their hamsters in respective hutches (aerosols are banned from bedrooms because of hammys), have told the girls that if the hammys require resuscitation whilst they're out at school due to hairspray, or if I need to source protective face masks for hamsters for future acts of stupidity, payment will be required!!

    Before anyone calls the SSPCA, I've issued both hammy's with fleece blankets, and they're sitting in the fresh air breeze howling around the rooms (seriously, they're both asleep in their cosy beds, all snuggled up!!).

    The smells actually starting to fade now, either that or I'm getting used to it!

    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.........
    Just make sure you use today to eliminate every trace of him and reclaim your bedroom.

    Been to gym. Breakfast eaten. Long day today... governors meeting tonight, but need to fit in some flying soon as it's got to the stage in the week where i notice that it needs doing :o

    I've cancelled my first job and hoping that OH comes to my rescue (again) so I can do the other two - hope so cos if I don't it'll be a big chunk of dosh I've missed out on, tho hoping to do my 3 hr one tomorrow avo instead, will just have to wait and see.

    Not sure what to do with myself now, I suppose I should use the time wisely and do some stuff here *sigh*

    Ceebeeby your post made me chuckle :D Hairspray-gate :rotfl:

    Will go and do the kitcheny stuff.
