    Morning all,.

    I haven't caught up with the thread so i hope all is well.

    Tuesday i did booger all except dailies, yesterday the whole house had a quick going over ( actually not quick it took hours :cool: ). Ds1 is being assessed for possibly Aspergers and they came to do a home visit hense the whole house needed a bit of a tidy. They think it's more of an anxiety, shyness thing rather than aspergers though although they won't confirm just yet. He said there's lots of ways to help with that so i'm feeling a little more positive.

    Morning all

    just a thought - Macpep what KIND of marg did you use for your Twinks - I use hard marg (same shape as packet butter IYSWIM) - no problemo here except that they last about 2 minutes in the biscuit tin...

    Plan so far

    hoover landing/kids bedrooms and bathroom
    clean bathroom
    clean kitchen

    I'm going in at 9:45


    anyone care to accompany me?

    Greenbee I feel like I've done a days work just reading your post.
    well I'm glad it makes someone feel like they've had a productive day... I'm just seeing the mess and dust increasing around me! Still, I've been to the gym, had breakfast and put a load of laundry on. I'm going to try to get some housework done today to keep my mind off this evening while re-formulating my presentation in my head....
    Jojo and greenbee - love the description of you both hard at work :rotfl:
    Not sure how hard I was actually working... the wine may have distorted my view a little... still, no hangover this morning and I was up early and had a good workout

    Oh... and I've lost another 3 pounds (plus the ones I'd put on last time), so that takes me past my first milestone and on the way to the second one...

    I should have said "I can't believe its not butter" is what I used, not sure if thats classed as marg as its not butter :rotfl::rotfl:Will maybe try using the hard block stuff next time, Mr A used to have one called "just for baking" and it was fab :)

    Oh I need a reminder please......when clearing out the fridge last night,I still have a box of Trex BB end Oct so I need to make mince pies before then and freeze if some one can remind me nearer the time :rotfl::rotfl:
