piggers could you get the mattress under one of the beds? it would stop gibble finding its way under!!!!

nope.. under beds is full of toys/spare bed/crates of books.. I swapped it for DS3's manky old lumpy one.. it feels so much nicer.

Boxes of baby stuff all nicely stacked under the table
christmas bits stashed in my christmas boxes so I have a space in my bedside drawer!
baby bedding squeeeeeeeeeezed into the drawer.. I NEED my nappy stacker! lol

It actually looks like there is stuff going out of this room now!

If anyone wants a large dolls house.. please come and get it.. ditto the 10ft pool.. the 3 chests of drawers.. a mirrorball.. and a lovely 'project' of a cupboard that needs stripping and repainting.. oh.. there are 2 guitars and a viledin as well.. FLING!!!

£35 delivery on 3 ikea chests of drawers!! Cheeky flockers.. we'll drive there and get them thanks!!! it'll cost £20 in fuel.. and I'll probably spend more than £15 on tat.. but it is the principal.. I need a bookcase too..

Stupid question - do the rooms change each week? Just been back to the list from last week (which I printed off to help me this week) and monday is different. Doesnt take much to confuse my tired brain lol

aj hello - how is the writing coming along?

Haven't done much since last week really. I am away with work which I am using as a great distraction, plus I sent what I had done to my mum for proofreading before I let. I have only just got it back and found it a bit awkward to do anything else until that came back. Think I am going to start slowly and read each section through, check to see if anything needs adding, sort out the quotes and then move on to the next section. Really don't want to work but I am hoping to more or less finish before I get home next Monday so I really need to get cracking.

So... going to try HHC on the dissertation, 6-6.30 if anyone is up for it?

Juliejim sorry I didn't report back after our HHC, mum my turned up with a pressie for me and I got waylayed .

I went out with my sis and the kids this afternoon. We had a lovely walk and then went to the garden centre for some lunch. The food is all homecooked and scrummy, but being bank holiday, the world and his wife were there so we had to wait a while for our grub. The good thing was that the kids polished off everything on their plates. DS1 even ate the celery, something I've never seen him eat before!!

Will join you - just having a quick snack and a cuppa, then off for a HHW (weeding - as long as I'm not blown away!)

Oh yes.. I like swapping them around.. some people lose motivation by the end of the week so I change them round otherwise thursday and friday rooms would NEVER get done..

Oh yes... Will I care? ... Oh no!!! He'll be more bothered we chucked his old drawers and straightened his duvet in the cover.. you have no idea how comfy he thinks his rolled up screwed up duvet is!
