    All clean clothes folded and put away. I wondered where everything was. :D:rotfl:

    DS2 has now decided to tidy his room and then i might let him up. At his pace he should be finished by the time they go back to school. :mad:

    Now for a cuppa

    Mumto5 i'll look out for that stuff, it will come in handy.
    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.

    Hi All,

    Just checking in. Level 1 done again so not too bad.

    I have done other stuff - just haven't got it on a list. Just eating a Mr T micro meal cos DH is out tonight. Oh My it's grim!
    Then I need to sort out my replacement driving licence.

    I can't keep up with who's who, so sorry for that, but for anyone who is struggling - it's just for today. Tomorrow is another day.
    Raining here in absolute stair rods - TD on again!
    Hugs to all,

    Max

    Dad has done loads under my supervision (he's v good at slash & burn, but not so good at knowing when to stop IFSWIM).

    Last time I let DH weed, I could smell that he had "weeded" my lavender bush. I had to rifle through the compost heap to find the evidence as he denied it:rotfl:

    ladyl huge hugs.

    Hi all, flying not going too well! DH is removing plaster from walls, so whole house is dusty! I'm after some advice on how best to clean it up / get it to settle? Its everywhere despite the closed doors! I'm wanting to clean up quick for the kids - especially the baby. Hope someone has some ideas!!!

    More washing sorted, boys still at bedroom. They brought me up loads of washing. :eek:
    Rhys had a snooze and now is in a fowl mood. :(

    Next thing on is DW, then hot water. Hubby needs to empty the bin. DD can clear junk from livingroom. I'm gonna sort utility room.

    Cazzab the only thing that worked round here was a damp cloth and wipe everywhere. You'll get dust settling for a few hours anyway.

    Vanilla - thanks for that.
    I am really mad though now - just popped upstairs and OH has been in all of the bedrooms and left the doors open - whilst he is sanding walls. :mad:

    (Does anyone know why my 'thanks' button doesn't work??
