rant rant rant rant....

and enough of that..

I have 2 icky chuckers off school today so have done nothing.. I have been squawked at by my mother because I went to bed instead of folding the last 25 orders of service I wasn't supposed to be doing in the first place!!!.. which took all of 5 minutes... while my sister is slobbed doing sweet FA at home.. I then got squawked at because I said OH has to sign on at 12 and I might be a few minutes late.. so my sisters would have to go in a taxi together and I'd get my own in a bit when OH got back! And then I was asked to go to shop.. honestly!! they are driving me nuts!

And.. I have now been moaned at because I'm not showered!!!!!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't care how stressed she is.. I have 2 ill children, have had maybe 3 hours sleep and had nothing to eat since yesterday lunchtime!!! I am so very close to turning off my phone and being invisible for a week!

I am going for food... then a shower.. and I'll see if I feel any better then!

I smell a hideous smell... please God do not let it be from one of the sickers.. it smells like 'the other end'....

Beds stripped, aired and remade (bore bore bore)
Kitchen gleaming (bore bore bore)
more washing on lines (bore bore bore)

Now I'm gonna do some P&P then I can hit the shops for new clobber with a clear conscience

Morning all,

haven't posted much this week, but after picking myself up off the floor & wiping off the footprints from poor old doormat me :mad::
bathroom, bedroom & kitchen days :jALL DONE:j
I'm planning on doing the living room & some ironing this afternoon cos I can watch the footy at the same time, providing my goldfish sized brain can cope with multi-tasking of course.

Pigpen - hope the upchucking stops soon & that there is no 'downloading' to accompany it :eek:

grateful - sorry to hear about your MIL - hope you get good news

Winchelsea - wow 49 years! Is there a secret?!

love to all....

LOL I'll pass with regards to Flybabies, ta muchly..... I'm a bit too long in the tooth for that, methinks.

well you could PRETEND you were practising :p

But yes, it IS all necessary stuff, and it's all tidy in its crates, and I can immediately lay hands on any item I want; and it means it's kept in a barely-used room, rather than cluttering up the lounge and kitchen.:o It's just the suitcases that are a bit of a bind, but we're off on our travels next Friday, so the idea is that when I wash something that's wanted on the holiday, it gets put in the case instead of the wardrobe, iyswim.

I have an Excel list, and tick things off as they get packed. LOL you'd think we were going up the Amazon for 3 months, not up the M1 for one week!:D

All sounds very sensible and organised. Would you like to come round here and organise me please???

I am going to give the weekends list a miss I have enough already:D
