You can tell DD is away...I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -
I'm sure hex will point out that there is a rule that says you should never move a sleeping cat... so the ironing will have to wait
and a rule about not ironing tea towels:p
or matching pegs:p:p
or do housework when the sun is shining:p:p:p
I've done really well with the paperwork - 15 minutes a day this week I think is in order as my decluttering will move on to day 2 tomorrow.

Valli~~ get a water pistol if you haven't got one, and from now when the kitten does something /climbs on something it shouldn't, squirt it, and get the message through to Jinks, it will only take a few weeks, well it always has done with mine.
'Happy' to report the smoke alarm with its new battery works!:p

I have decluttered 2 cupboards on the landing and the blanket box said blanket box is going on ebay :T as I am sick of falling over it.
In the cupboard DD found 4 craft sets that she has never used so am thinking of giving these to others for xmas do you think thats a bit cheeky?
Have also done 2 x WM, tea done and eaten, DW loaded now just need to hoover when I get DS to bed.:jmember of the thrifty gifty 2011 :j0 -
Finally finished running about today.....DS2's eye sight is the same, thank goodness because he's started to not wear his glasses. The woman thinks somebody has said something to him.....DD only has one more week of S&L and then they will see her again in October.....Hubby's meds have been upped so hopefully it will settle him abit.
Now i really need to sort the boys room out, DS2 has lost a pair of glasses and a catapillar in his room. :eek:Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
Mummyslittleboy: not cheeky at all!! If they were presents all you have to do is make sure you don't give them back to the original giver - lol!!
Been flying away today. Feels good!
