List remains...

[STRIKE]Empty toys and crap from boys room[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Sand walls in boys room[/STRIKE]
Sand filler in kitchen
Slop paint over filler in kitchen
[STRIKE]put away christmas stuff so clearing table on landing[/STRIKE]
DD1 to fill table with her stuff so she can start painting her room
[STRIKE]OH to wipe marks off boys room ceiling and touch up white paint
emulsion 4 walls light blue
emulsion 2 walls metallic blue[/STRIKE]

Now THAT looks better..

Carpet up in boys room after vacuuming it so I don't have bits all over my house!
New carpet down in boys room
Shelves back up in boys room
Straighten curtain pole in boys room
Sort boxes of toys as they go back into boys room.

Wash DS3's dirty muddy clothes from camp. .. 1 pair of brand new black joggers was THICK with mud and sopping wet!! He's had a great time
Change boys bedding

So.. large picture or mirror then??

Piggers you have done well! :T:T:T:T

Wish I had your get up & go....

11 & 14 year old boys....... They would probably want a big picture of a scantily dressed lady.........then again, if you give them a mirror, you would be forever shouting at them to either stop staring at themselves (my eldest is 11 & he takes forever to clean his teeth cos he's too busy admiring himself in bathroom mirror ) or cleaning all the kisses off it as they practice their technique (or is that just a girl thing?)

Does that help?

They would be MORTIFIED if I so much as suggested a scantily clad lady on their wall..

Maybe they can have a notice board all the same lol

Actually, come to think of it, my 3 hide their eyes if someone kisses on the TV or, shock, horror, if Daddy & I kiss....yuck!

So, maybe a message board is a better idea...it will keep drawing pins/sellotape/blue tack off your newly decorated walls.

I need to decorate the boys rooms ......maybe in the summer....now they are cleaner & tidier it will be much easier to empty & paint.

Their room looks fabulous now the bed is back in the corner.. I can't wait to get the carpet down and have it all finished!!

DD1 and OH are downstairs... baking a lemon cake!!! Bonding time lol!!

I always said I'd have 7... and when we got to 7 it just never seemed enough.. so we had Tiddles.. And she put me off for life!! lol

OH can't fit carpet so I have no choice but to do it.. it won't take too long.. and i'll have him move the furniture etc about.. he is currently slopping on the very last coat of paint, and DS3 is washing the mud from his entire person then their boxes of junk will be stacked in DD2's room, as she is at her friends tonight so they can sleep in their beds properly.. and the 2 cupboards and pc desk can be stuffed on the landing in morning so I can properly measure the bedroom and take up the old carpet!

Wow! I could only ever imagine have one baby at most and had 3! your some women.
Make sure while laying this carpet to teach OH how to do it that way you can tell him it's a man's job from now on:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

*Ignore me this is a venting rant*

My SS1 had a friend stay over and they went out for a late 18th celebration at an all night rave thing on Saturday night. Said friend vomited in his bin. SS1 was told he would be cleaning it up if his friend didn't - his visitor his problem. SS1 has gone up to Scotland with his mum today, and I have just found said bin still full of vomit in DH's office with a towel over the top and nearly added to it given the smell when I stupidly lifted the towel.

If you give me his location I'll go sort him out, although I think your idea is better!


I will need to be a busy bee in the morning as the schools finish at 2.30pm so I would like to have the lists done or very nearly done by then as HRH will want me to play with her all the time as I can't see her being able to play out judging by the weather. Oh! two weeks of playing with sylvanian families the joys.

I must say that to my OH. He used to work as a carpet shop delivery driver and used to help the boys with the fitting. You'll know I still have to pay someone to do it as he tells me it's a big job. Wallpapering on the floor:rotfl::rotfl:
