    Have you go some of the stain block PTW? it paints on and you can paint over it.. it worked wonders on the horrific nicotine staining in my front room!

    DD3's bed stripped.. AGAIN..

    Off to hang out washing, reload WM's and make a brew while OH is at shop.. buying rubble bags..

    What's PTW? Does it work miracles, I really can't go through that plastering thing again. Neither can my bank account:(

    I'm having a coffee now then I am hanging out more washing and putting another load in before the school run

    DS3's middle name is Maxwell.. as close as we could get to Maxine.. the name of the MW at his birth.. What greater honour is there?

    The MW who delivered my DD1 was called Pushpa. What an awesome name for a MW. I remember thinking at the time 'if Pushpa says push, I push' :rotfl:
    I need direction to perfection...

    Hair cut

    Hall floor washed (by hand to get into the corners)
    Kitchen floor washed (combo of hand and mop)

    Just need to rinse my hair and then I need to pot up a few tomato plants before the school run.

    Sticky beak alert - somebody is in next door garden and the house is empty.

    OH didn't jump to bagging rubble so I started it.. and he is finishing it.. mission accomplished.. I am fairly shattered though..

    DD3's clothes sorted.. I have a large pile to store for Moomin.. 8-9 stuff.. she is just into age 6 so it may be stored a while lol. Though it looks fairly promising that im's clothes will all fit in the 3 drawers she now has.. what we don't fit in she is taking in a bag to KH's.. and he can store it! He is like my overflow for all the stuff that won't fit in their drawers lol..

    Some more stuff flung in the charity shop bag.. we are dropping it off tomorrow.. DS3 has another detention tonight so we are collecting in the car.. bliss! I'll have to send DS2 to pick him up though so that may be interesting. She also just laughed when I told her the reason DS3 (again) had mount Everest on his forehead was because he ran down the hallway with his pants round his ankles when I offered to help him pull them up!

    DD1 off to look at college this evening with KH.. she is most amused and said he is playing at 'perfect parent' and it is really annoying her that he speaks to her in his telephone voice.. did make me giggle but I did not pass comment.

    Dusty... are they looking int he windows to see if it is worth living in? If so and they look 'unpleasant' start being a pig like neighbour.. swear really loud and blast out your music.. lol

    choccy.. that is a fabulous name.. I had a HV called 'Stork'.. she had been a MW before becoming a HV... so those babies truly were delivered by the stork!! She was bearable.. at least she wasn't horrified when DS3 asked her if she wanted a feel of his willy cos it felt nice!

    One ceiling painted and i just hope it doesn't need a third coat. 2 smoke alarms and a heat sensor fitted aswell.:D
    My mum rang to tell me that my great aunt passed away last night, she had been unwell for quite awhile and to be honest i haven't seen her in years.:(
    Hubby back from CBT and is now sleeping, think it will be like this for awhile.
    Need to lift kiddies soon and then i'll make a start on the walls, DD has her club to get to tonight aswell. Kitchen needs a really good clean before the kitchen man comes tomorrow. It's all go about here.:rotfl:

    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
