Anyone fancy doing a HHI with me at 7.45? I know it's early - where's Jen? She could join me for an early session.

Breakfast on for kiddies. The big blue bin is overflowing with clean clothes so i'll do that while they eat.
Plan today is not to leave the house and catch up with the lists. Bathroom won't take to long, bedroom is a mess but it's small. Then i'll do another bit in the boys room. I would also like the back door cleared.

Thanks for the update on toots, i'm glad she's been moved to normal ward.

I'm back from dropping the kids off so now I need to do some more.

I'm going to jump in the shower now. Then we're going to walk to the PO, post that book and stop off at the park on the way home. When we get back i could really do with getting stuck into my lists and my ironing mountain.:eek: Not to mention the gardening that needs doing as well.

to whoever was considering seeing Inception - GO!!! It's brilliant - and really interesting! I can't wait to see it again!

DS1 & 2 loved it and couldn't understand why I didnt take DS3 and DD2 to see it instead of Toy Story.

Toy Story was good but very sad. I shed tears much to the amusement of DS3.

[still wrecked from silly dancing all last night]

I'm still jealous. Glad you had a good time.

Serena - it's just dreadful. Hope your DS is OK.

So pleased to hear that Toots is on a normal ward. Hope you get home soon.

DH came home at 10.15 last night we had a nice cup of tea before we went to bed. He's in London today and got up at 6.15 for an 8am meeting. His company expect to much of him. I worry when he works these long hours driving huge distances all the time. It's our wedding anniversary today. We're going out for a meal tonight after we've shared the champagne with DH's Mum and Dad. DD1 has offered to babysit. She must be feeling ill as there was no accompanying demand for money.

Did the bathrooms last night when I was waiting for DH to get home. Master bedroom is clean but I didn't do too well with the decluttering:o.

I got a lovely dress with the help of the personal shopper. I didn't wear the Spanx in the end as I've not eaten bread recently and my 4 months pregnant bloat has almost gone. I'm back to my boobs sticking out further than my tum! It cost more than I was going to spend but DD1 has some shoes I can [STRIKE]steal[/STRIKE] borrow. I also have a nice necklace from Monsoon so I don't have to pay for any other accessories.

Out for lunch at a friend's today with the little ones. Then must go to Tesco as have 6 for dinner tomorrow night and haven't even planned my menu yet:eek:

Happy Anniversary Mr and Mrs mumto5.

Hex - is your DH better yet so you can celebrate your anniversary?

I need to sort the settee out so I can take a photo of it to sell so that'll have to be one of my jobs for today.

JennyJewell

Well done hollyh How did you do cyclingyorkie
In my HHC I washed dishes,(need to wipe them up and put away), put clothes on washing line and in tumble,(need some dried asap to wear)! Tidied most of living room and front room, dusted both rooms, hoovered both rooms and kitchen, de-cluttered work surfaces and wiped them over
Not too bad - still soooo much to do today so best get on
