Does anyone want another DD? She is doing my head in.

Can offer a swap for DS1 (15)? Might be a good idea - you wouldn't see much of him, and my DS2 (5) would like the company. He's used to playing with 7-year old next door.

thats it, off to make malteaser cake now for a bit of r n r for me.:D

Sounds lovely. Wouldn't mind the recipe for that, if it's ok.

Right, my HHC stretched from 9.50 - 11.30. :eek: Another 20min in the bathroom in a moment, then I've done my full 3 hours this morning. I've done lots and some small areas of the house now don't look like a hovel anymore. I'll try and throw an hour or two at the LR when we get in from shopping, because I've not really been in here yet. A quick update of the list and bathroom - here I come!

Morning everyone :hello:

boddy thats good news about the house - will make iy easier for you to see LO as well:D
holly thanks honey but 'no' I need to try stuff on as my shape is hopeless!
Ishtar well its good that they are checking all the would-be problem areas - it doesnt help with the waiting though - I feel for you all and especially your Mum (((hugs)))
piggers well done with the kitchen - at last you will be rid of all signs of the fire! DD1's room sounds like it will be lovely - i would have thought the dyeing would be pretty good given that the colours are similar? She will be over the moon with her new bed and desk:T:T

its nice to hear of Jacob playing outside - he will love this summer being able to be outside -I hope they have sorted the nursery place by now.
fedup well done with the exercising and doing your own thing - you have done well this last year! (((hugs)))
vanilla thats great to see that its all coming to an end for you and you will be able to start getting things straightened again.
mummyyof5 thanks for the message from Quillion - give her my love too if you are speaking again. please.
Polgara you have done really well with your lists this week - the focus of a list def helps!
Yorkie how sad - although its no consolation to those leftbehind he is no longer suffering and is at peace - comforting thoughts to you all - Monday will be a tough day. (((hugs)))
Dusty :hello: thats a mighty long weekend list honey - hope everybody does their bit!
Holly thats good - but dont overdo it - i hope the fresh air helps too.
rach hope you find your get up and go honey!
Triker (((hug))) its annoying when the others dont help - what about doing things that will benefit you then - like pottering in your bedroom or around your armchair - make your spaces nice?
juliejim have a (((hug))) I am sure it will pass - we all want to be outside now that the weather is better but it cant always be that way.

Its worrying about Sandy but she probably needs to sort out the outcome of yesterdays appt first. We will just have to keep her in our thoughts until she feels up to telling us how it went.

nice to see everyone on the go today - we have a bright sometimes sunny and breezy day here - not too cold either.

Have done most of my dailies
1st washing is on the line - towels etc are just finishing and will be out asap.
have wrapped a bra for BreastTalk
S&s'd the kitchen
emptied the shredder bin

have 23 piles of paperwork on my sitting room floor which will be getting sorted and filed today

Morning all

DS up at 8:30 to go to school at 9

YES!

he has gone to school! French oral Lundi (monday;)) so they have been putting on extra practice sessions and have a 3 hour drop in this morning! DD off for dance rehearsals...made her own pack up;) s'brill this!
(Note to self - send thank you card into school after exams acknowledging the INCREDIBLE number of after school and holiday sessions the staff are putting on to help students through their GCSE exams)

Though, of course, they've not gone to their dads...

car serviced and passed MOT at slightly less than last years' price:D

Virus software installed on lappy; PC scanned.
Keyboard cleaned - I noticed the keyboard was really 'bitty' under the keys so switched it all off, held it up and used a clean, dry paintbrush to vigorously sweep around keys. Note to self - next time this is to be done disconnect the keyboard and sweep it OUTSIDE:o

washing on the line and blowing. I will find my list later and update BUT the only room not yet cleaned is my bedroom and the house is looking fab...no doubt because I didn't keep popping on here! I've even de-pooped the garden and done a spot of weeding!
Stacks of ironing to do so plan for today is

put away rest of ironing
iron another maidenful
dust and hoover my room

then - work related stuff!

Yorkie - what to say? Hope Monday goes as well as possible.

well when they've both acheived this aim it will be quiet;)

One day you'll look back on all this and smile. You won't be able to applaud them though as the straightjacket won't allow it;)

My list is not down to 1 side of A4 yet, but I think I've done lots. Time for a quick lunch and shower, and then we're off out. See you all later.
