  • Well DD2 managed to drop all her spaghetti bolognaise on the hall carpet so will need to clean that tonight once she is in bed :(. I was hoping I could work on the oven a bit more tonight but I guess it won't happen now. Will have to wait until tomorrow now.

    Well heard from Ex again after over a week of peace and quiet. Same old, nothing ever changes. As long as he doesn't come here I don't mind, I can handle nasty text messages. Tells me his life is s**t:( but his FB tells a different story. Says on there how happy he is with his new gf blah blah blah. Hope she wakes up and smells the coffee soon, I feel sorry for her.

    Anyway, here is my list and IT'S ALL DONE!!!!

    Been a good girl today and did hall stairs and landing too. Dining room has also been seen too.

    Just as well as DH has just phoned and a work colleague is coming here at 8.30am:eek:. I have warned all the kids under pain of death not to mess it up again. Will give the kitchen a going over once dinner is finished. Please let it be kitchen tomorrow Pigpen??? Then I can slope off to the shops as I have so many birthday presents to buy, DN, DB, DD and DH + a few for kiddies birthday parties as my pressie drawer is depleted. This is a challenge in itself as I have mislaid my debit card. Better ring DH and ask him to visit the cashpoint on the way home.

    Today hasn't been too good in the living room. Hubby decided to rearrange the furniture at the weekend which resulted in everything being put in the other end of the room so I had to sort all that out lol I've also done a lot in the kitchen as it needed doing. Hopefully will get living room done tomorrow.

    Sexy, I hope today went well for you and your colleague, it sounds so awful there at that school, I feel so sorry for you. Hope the tummy calms down too

    DH has washed up today and gone round doing a binbag challenge, although he didn't know it was called that.

    I have a grand plan to do 2xHHC's as a bare minimum tomorrow, Thurs and Fri, was going to do that today too but all plans for today were scrubbed as I overdid it y'day. Love to all xx
