    Evening all

    Basics only for me this week as I have lots on with the kids. I'll create some kind of list tomorrow.

    G&B fingers crossed for your Dad and your LO and of course you

    Hellloooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

    I'm not in this week but just popped on to say hello and tell you all about my major declutter today! I've just found a thornton's father christmas lolly in my fridge and decluttered it for the good of my children's health as the date on it was July 2010. I know, I know....what a good mum I am!!!!

    Ok, really popped on to:

    - major hugs to g'n'b and LO xxxxxx
    - wish pigpoo luck with the impending evacuation.
    - say hello to frodders - I went to ikea again last week and nearly freaked when a lady came to close with a trolley. My son pushed her trolley away and told her to back off! Bless him. How are things with you?
    - send hugs to tootles - we gave stripes a bath today ready for her three week trip to wales.....I'm hoping sea water won't be on her menu this time round!!!
    - LL....this fairy dust is becoming a faff! It's the only reason I don't dust regularly as the stuff continues to pour from the skies! Hugs x a million xxxxxx
    - big hugs to everyone else too....looking forward to catching up in September when I'll be in desperate need of the daily list (that's if I'll be able to see the computer for the mess!!!).

    My flying list....

    - decluttered the aforementioned chocolate lolly
    - decluttered the garlic from the garden and hung it to dry
    - decluttered some onions from the garden ready to cook for going away
    - decluttered 19lbs now and feeling better for it
    - decluttered all big knickers to the bin!
    - decluttered smelly dog odour by giving them a bath.

    Big hugs and see you in September xxxxxx

    I'm in again - thanks to pigpen and to soappie for being the Toots!!

    Today I have cleaned out both sets of furries and played with them for ages :D The 3 littlies still need names - I'm sure soappie will think it's rude of me to call them 'the brown one', 'splodgy' and 'stripey'!!! It took me long enough to name the others though ............

    Also washed up, did washing, shredding, a bit of filing, watched the GP, watched some of the athletics, watched Sherlock :p

    Note to self - must try harder next week :o

    Ouch - onestep guess that puts you on the sick lilst for a while

    I have decided I hate folding clothes. Lost count of how many loads have been done today and it takes so long its almost (although not quite) as bad as ironing of which I now have to do some. I will do all my work shirts/trousers/skirts for the week as I am sick of having to make time every morning to do just the 1 !!!!

    Kitchen still needs all the pans decluttering so off I ago again as its the paid work again tomorrow so need to have it reasonable as mother is coming over to keep an eye on DD while everyone else is at work :eek:
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!

    Splodgy and Stripey don't sound too bad - would leave just the brown one. How about something chocolate related?

    Pigpen - hope all goes well and to plan, as much as these things ever do.

    OK, I've started to look at travel insurance. Dirt cheap for me and the kids, but I can't book anything tonight. Need to make phone calls, due to DH's heart attack a few years ago. Such a pain.
    Quick tidy up in the kitchen, then I might have a look at my wardrobe, to see what I can declutter. I'm hungry, need to take my mind off it and TV/laptop screen are starting to give me a headache. Will take the laptop upstairs with me to listen to music, though.
    Night, all.

    KH has proved himself once again as a KH...

    He ASKED me if he could have the chimps when Squeak arrives.. so muggins here says of course.. blah blah blah.. fast forward to me saying I need you to have them this night and this night and him saying he has made a date with some dweeb to go to the pub, and a driving lesson.. and just simply cannot..

    !!!!!! do I do with them now??????

    DS1 and gf have said they will come here during the day but obviously can't stay over with them so OH will be home alone with them overnight which may be interesting.. they sleep pretty well so it won't be too horrific.. so anyway.. instead fof staying in 3 nights they are having my company.. one.. because I simply cannot leave the children longer than that virtually unattended.. and with Oh's mum here lol.. they will stew her up, chew her up and spit out the bits!!!

    Saves taking lappy in with me I guess.. :p

    So the blood transfusions etc they have planned can be scrapped! and the numerous blood tests etc.. and everything else..

    I am fit to rip shreds off him though!!! Why ask if he can have them then say no?!?.. I have no words for him exccept a VERY rude 4 letter one beginning 'c'
