    HHC anyone?

    But i bet it looks pretty darn fine now, wanna come do my boys room.:D

    I gave up the boys room once i couldn't get the bunk beds done.:mad: So they will be staying up for awhile. So i went for a snooze only for my mum to ring in a panic, there's a bomb scare outside the town and she was worried incase i was there.

    Right i need to give myself a good shake and figure out whats next.
    No thanks honey. I never want to see a flat pack wardrobe again. the room is now divided into 2 so no more arguments about DS2 leaving lego on the floor, well for a week maybe;) but it's looking lovely. Could really do with a lick of paint but it will have to wait till I finish other areas.

    DS3 dispatched to school. DD2 taken to swimming lessons and back home again. DD1 had her friend stay over again (is she moving in???).

    My ebay shoes have arrived and they are perfect for the wedding on Wednesday. They pinch a bit so I'm wearing 2 pairs of socks to stretch the a bit while I do my flying.

    Sun is shining in Essex but it's still rather chilly when it goes in.

    Decluttered another packet of cigs from DD1's bag. She is furious and claimed they were her moving in friend's. I told her to not look after other peoples belongings. The boyfriend is poorly today so no doubt she will have his lurgy in a couple of days.

    I've arranged to meet Mumofjust2 after half term:j. Us Essex girls must stick together.

    Right deep breath - off to tackle DS1's room on second thoughts where is my gas mask:eek:

    Hi everyone, another busy week here, making lots of stock for another fair next week.

    I hope you are all well and doing ok, going to try to spend some time catching up with you all over the weekend. Have I missed anything important?

    I've been doing a bit of flying each day, trying to make myself wash up even when I'm really low, have been struggling a bit with the old BD but it seems to be retreating today.

    Cleaned the bath this morning, used an antibac spray that someone gave me - man it was so bad, it nearly killed me! The spray is so strong! I normally just use my water and vinegar mix for the bath and sink, so am not used to breathing in chemicals. I was coughing and choking the whole time, and had a terrible taste in my mouth. I had all the windows open and everything! Does anyone else struggle with this? I had to stop work and go into another room! I'm going to go back to water and vinegar for the sink in a mo, and bleach for the loo as normal.

    In my HHC I filled 2 binbags and binned.

    DW X1

    Bathroom sink cleaned

    toilet cleaned and disinfected

    sink cleared and wiped

    worktops wiped

    and then have proceeded to wreck my non working cooker as I have tried to lever off the casing around the digital bit and now snapped it....:eek:

    Bum...now what to do....stoopid cooker.

    Afternoon all,

    Ds2 and the other children have been making sweets in nursery over the last few days. They were for sale today, little packets with a peppermint cream dipped in chocolate, coconut ice, white chocolate fudge and a brownie. As well as lollys made out of rice crispies, marshmallows and smarties dipped in chocolate and 100's & 1000's. As a result of having to try it all i'm feeling a bit sick now.:cool:

    I'm going to do a HHC now if anyone wants to join me?

    Plans to finish the bathroom and wash up this afternoon have been put on hold - the water is off! Neighbour from upstairs came to let me know and I phoned Thameswater who were very helpful and phoned back ten mins later to say it's a burst water main down the road and might not be mended for 4-6 hours! But their customer service guy was great I thought.
    Have let all my neighbours who are home know, and checked the guy over the road with throat cancer is ok and has something to drink, as his wife is out for the day. He says he's fine and has things to drink, so that's ok. Lady upstairs has bottled water, I've got orange juice and the only other neighbour in our block who was in has gone out for a shower and to go to work.

    Have tidied LR floor today so going to do some work now xx
