    Been ordering xmas pressies online - absolutely shattered! It's probably only the 2 large glasses of red vino that has kept my heart going through the trauma of spending money:D Didn't have any chocolate so I settled for the health bearing properties of a packet of hula hoops!

    On a sad note I have to report that not only don't I have a pantry (and yes I have aspired to one for many a long year!) I also don't have a utility room after a "honey I shrunk the utility room" episode earlier in the year - I now have a washing machine cupboard:rolleyes:

    So not only didn't I achieve much today I am also very very very deprived:o

    I hope hex2 is keeping up with the childcare:

    wendym - made me laugh, the house is far cleaner than the toddlers!

    sarahsaver I like your rules, I do similar things and they work really well for me. The plan is to have the snug as ours with children banned, and the living room as a play room.

    I have a pantry and a utility at the moment, but will just have a very large pantry once I move. And no kitchen till we put one in......

    lots to do today, overnight visitor tomorrow so extra deep clean.

    no kitchen :eek:

    so it will be 'all you can grab and eat' in the big pantry then :D
    I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work ;)

    If you're quick, you can pop in here for a cuppa and a muffin. I think TNG left a couple ;)

    After yesterday's big kitchen spruce, DS has said he likes it tidy :D Thing is, I tidied a lot of things away, and we can't find the toaster :o

    in the short term yes! I had budgeted for quickly putting the kitchen and a range oven in but the nasty mortgage has a huge retention till we get the house re-wired so kitchen has to wait till that is released :mad: . There is a gas oven (hope it works!) and a sink in there, but thats about it. Lots of shelves in the pantry for storage, and room for a small table in the kitchen to use as a worktop. Current house was pretty much the same when we bought it so have coped before, mind you last time didnt have children to contend with :rolleyes:

    Breaking all my rules this morning, only me dressed and nothing much done yet. In mitigation I do have a yucky cold. Need to find some motivation asap.

    There was 'no kitchen ' here when we moved in, well half of one upstairs and a hole in the wall in the kitchen where a sink should have been. Couldnt get a mortgage until we installed a kitchen sink!
    Anyway back on topic - only trivial stuff on my list today, ds1 gave me a heart shaped sticker for tidying his room - aah! :)
    DD came up with a list of all the jobs needing doing in her room - sort of got stuck halfway with decorating :eek: but her list is great, because its easier for her to see that it should be a joint effort, she can do the decluttering and I will put the new curtains up.
    Can't do a lot in the daytime as Im doing yoga this morning (my reward to myself on a Friday) then visiting a friend's new flat.
