    Boys home, DS1 got loads of pressies with it being his last day at the school so DS2 feeling a bit left out, compromised with free app game on my iphone keeping him quiet. Kids!

    Shopping done, dumped shopping in kitchen, made tea then slopped on the sofa as I feel shattered. I've done less but feel more tired, odd. Oh I did 2 washer loads & hanging of washing etc, fed the turtles too....not as bad then, I best go sort the other animals out before the glare through me

    Think I might do an online order of heavy stuff then farm tomorrow, been spending too much lately buying bits at a time
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Pigpen are you out there? Anyone heard from her today? I'm wondering if squeak has finally put in an appearance.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Hello all.
    Divorcingjack and London Welshcake (hey..... another LW!!)just because you have no children, you don't get away with not doing any Flying y'know.... I don't have children either, btw (unless you count the 60 yr old one I'm married to). :D

    Laters, all.:)

    LOL! I thought I'd get into trouble - fret not, I have a few things on my list to do, it's just not as daunting as a child's room (especially not what my room was like when I was 7 :eek:)

    Heading home to put on WM, eat food, do my flying list then head out to meet friends. I've challenged myself to be efficient enough (wash dishes up BEFORE go out to get "merry") so that my kitchen is STILL sparkly in the morning. That will then be a whole week of downstairs looking good. That is my goal...

    Here's to the weekend!
    Proud to be dealing with my debt

    Right, end of first week - what's the state of play?

    Kitchen - still pretty darn good. DH has yet to clear away the crumbs left when he made his lunchtime sarnie but otherwise ok.

    Living room ditto. (no crumbs though!)

    Our bedroom. Great. Inspired to look for a new wardrobe as the current one is falling apart.

    Bathroom. Well, it's clean. Most of the wallpaper has been pulled off. I will get the steamer out tomorrow. There is a panel of newly painted wall where I tried out the new colour.

    DD's bedroom. After months of threats and bribes and mutterings about Mum tidying it up with a bin bag, DD is grateful that it has been done. She is starting to notice that she has a lot less stuff than was in the room when she trotted happily off to school this morning so I may have an evening down the pub on my own later and leave her Dad to cheer her up!:p

    Just to let you know Pigpen posted on my FB a little while ago. She doesn't sound very happy though:(

    My flying is well and truly on hold at the moment as I'm in hospital every other day at the moment. Hopefully I'll get a week or 2 before bean is here to catch up on some lists:)
