    Easter Monday ~ Surprise! ALL DONE :D:D:D:D
    Level One
    [STRIKE]S&S kitchen[/STRIKE] Have had a proper go at the surfaces and tiles, which had been a little neglected :o
    [STRIKE]Sweep and mop[/STRIKE] Hoovered, then washed the floor on my hands and knees... it's needed it for a while. Will mop the whole of downstairs later...
    Level Two
    [STRIKE] Vacuum through downstairs[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE] S&S bathroom[/STRIKE]
    Level Three
    [STRIKE] Complete ALL your dailies![/STRIKE] LOTS of washing done... two lots of clothes, and one rug, which is now on the line. Now I just have gym kit to do after I go to the gym tomorrow (or there won't be enough for the rest of the week) and a cotton underblanket.

    It's Bank Holiday.. go enjoy yourselves! Went for a run... I suppose that counts :p

    Didn't quite make my 5pm deadline, but the kitchen is now mostly clean. I still need to wash down the doors rather than giving them their usual quick wipe, and remove everything from the window sills, table, dresser etc and give it a good dust, but the floor and skirtings are now nice and clean.

    Can I just ask if the meet at Meadowhall is still on for Friday ?

    I hope so - have been looking forward to it for ages. We just need to sort out a time and meeting place.

    I used disposables for the first 3 weeks until the fog cleared:D and I got my head together a bit more. Have been using Bambino mios for nearly 2 years and have had very few probs, she does sleep in a disposable though as I don't really want to get up to change bums at 3am! The Nappy Lady is a good idea though as she will show you lots of different sorts, look at where you can dry them, etc

    I was advised to use disposables until DS2's cord bit had dried - the terry nappies were to high on his tummy and kept it damp. After that, we used MEOS (Mother Ease One Size), which I loved. I'm due to tidy our bedroom later this week and will hunt for any left-over bits. I'm still trying to think of the forum where I bought a lot of second-hand stuff. UK Parents seems to ring a bell.

    Right, at risking the wrath of our masters. I've sorted out the pix from the weekend. Here goes:

    Good afternoon :beer: Following pigpen's instructions, DH and I have spent most of the day in the garden :j I mowed the lawn, and planted garlic and asparagus :j The chooks are settling in and we had a further 4 eggs today :j DH has now set of for India :( (where it's hotter than Hades :eek::eek::eek: ) so I'm doing some paperwork, then wine, pasta, log fire and a DVD with the children :A
    how's your dongle....you are being remarkably quiet....have you plugged it in yet? :p:p :rotfl:

    That's an extremely personal question for the time of day :eek: :p :rotfl:
