Morning all. Valli how's your MFW challenge coming??
Today I must 1. conquer the ironing mountain, 2. conquer nerves about exam results (tues) and 3. get the sofa covers dry and back on the sofa.
And one of my things on ebay is at £42 with an hour left to go:jPlease do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x0 -
Morning all
I'm struggling to get out of bed at the moment - must get back to better habits.
Breakfast and two cuppas decluttered, so there's no excuse now. As there are toys everywhere I think DS2's room is where I need to start. Once he's got his space sorted, stuff from the other rooms can actually be put away. I may be some time, but at least I can make him help. I won't update the 'big' list until tonight, as it's way too long.
Also to do today:
WM, TD and DW
buy anniv card for DH for tomorrow
bully DS1 into finally getting papers done in between showers
check dates for two parties DS2 has been invited to
send text to friend
Hellyboo - sounds like you had a rough night with your little ones. Hope you are ok.
Happy flying, everyone.
ETA I'll join you in the HHC, MOAM. And grateful, I feel the same about Tuesday. Don't think there's a way of getting over the nerves for me, especially as there'll be the added exitement of DS1's results this year. Anything less than a C in Maths would mean that he'd need 3 years at college, rather than 2.0
