    morning :wave:

    new tactics! since i am half a day ahead of you i decided to do last weeks list instead. like a dot to dot system since i've got the whole list already ... i try and stick to the chosen rooms though if that makes any sense?!

    done so far:
    put td on
    emptied it and folded the washing
    moved wm into td
    new wm on
    cleaned all dishes
    cleaned downstairs toilet
    swept kitchen floor
    cleaned all appliances (under and behind) - even mw :j
    15 thingy boogie
    cut 1.5kg beef into portions
    beef soup in slow cooker

    now the back is killing me and i also need to drink more so i am having a rest with a cuppa!

    hope to see everyone rested really soon :D


    oh and a question: is that only me? everytime i refresh the page i have to sign in again if i want to type something?!?! i always tick the 'remember me' box but that doesn't seem to do anything :(
  • Have fried my head on purple hair dye...can't afford to go to sleep now until DD2 has departed on her school trip at 8.15 am. (whilst I can stay awake for days, I don't wake up easily once I'm out).

    [nods head to music on macbook and mimes whilst playing air bass...]

    'Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun?'

    Gonna be a look in my eyes like black holes in the sky until I get some sleep later. :(
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

  • Was the only person online to congratulate school friend on having given birth this morning (updated her FB status five minutes afterwards!)

    Still up...and have woken DD2 for her school trip. She looked at me sideways and asked 'so how are you awake then?' (knowing me & mornings don't mix).

    I just am. Here's some tea.

    'You haven't been to bed yet, have you? [accusing stare]

    [sigh - I've been busted] Nope, but I haven't slept in, have I?

    'You're a rubbish Mummy sometimes, but because you're awake and you've got a cup of tea for me, I guess I'll just have to forgive you this time' :D



    Unconsciousness shall be looming for me at lunchtime.

    Ergh. Wimbledon and football promised for all week's telly. :(

    Unconsciousness may loom earlier than I thought.

    MoZzy - Are you using Mozilla Firefox.Since the last forum update I've found it does that to me too - so i've gone back to using IE just for MSE website use. Its such a pain having to sign in all the time otherwise. & means I get less flying done which is not good;) Don't want any mules coming my way just because of my choice of internet browser:rotfl:
