No lie in for me this morning Toots. I was wide awake at 5.30 and decided to get up and make a cuppa. Then decided to fix the telephone socket box back on the wall. Later did the dailies and went into town.

Nipped to Mr As when I came back. It was sunny when I went in and then when ready to come out we had a cloud burst. Im feeling a bit yuck this afternoon so gonna get cosy on the sofa and watch a DVD.

rosepink Hi!. Nice to see you posting. Hope your cold clears up soon.
valli glad you had a good time. Enjoy yourself this evening.
lil_me Hi. Hope you feel ok soon. Take care.

JennyJewell Good luck with the no smoking.

Hugs for everyone specially Toots. Lady L. Diva and LW.

Same here boddy - I feel tired today so have had a quite relaxing day. This morning went over to Cas-Vegas to have a look for mums anniversary present and found a lovely crystal handblown vase for half price £22.50. I only went for a look but thought I'd better get it as it was on offer. It is lovely and I bought myself a smaller one for daffodils for £10 instead of £30 - nice bargains all round there

Then put on my new fitness DVD to watch and nearly nodded off on the sofa while watching it!

Have flown around the LR and bathroom and will do the bedroom leaving a few things for tomorrow.

I'm having a curry for my tea and watching a DVD too then off for good nights sleep listening to Paul Mckenna to try and kick start the weightloss again which has ground to a halt despite all the running I'm doing

Also feel my usual fedup self due to the ex issues - we had another fall out this week so I'm stopping myself getting in contact at all this weekend

See you all later

***coffee on screen***:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:never laughed so much in ages. Choked myself of course coughing

Poohbear, the washing is probably the least energy consuming task that needs doing here. Weather has been pretty ok, one 'bouncing rain' shower but other than that not bad.

Seriously you can't walk through any room in this house with the lights off at the minute as you will stand on something/break your neck and I hate it. I need to get to the bottom of it but the way I am feeling it's happening slowly. Boys are helping in bits, I keep giving them a small task (they've just done games tidy up and did middle landing earlier) as it means I am not on at them loads but they are still helping. They've got the cold too so know not to push my luck or they will just moan!

I've actually got the last holiday wash load in the machine there is one on the line. Then we have 2 loads waiting of stuff we've used since we got back so I am getting there.

I need to pick a room to start on and finish it I think, but picking the room is the hard bit as they are all as bad as each other :eek::eek:

Oh and first things first, I am doing my assignment that is due in. I only need 10% plus on this then to pass my ECA then somehow I will have passed this years course so I'm going to get it done, well most of it done, tonight!

Ok list for tonight

Feed kids, bath and bed - trying to get back into routine even if DS1 doesn't sleep
Empty DW and start to refill
Empty WM and put onto airers
Bring in laundry from line
Do my assignment or at least make a start
Take night nurse and sleep! ***mission impossible***

It's just so much what I would do, start watching it doing the routine then sit for a rest and nod off to sleep :rotfl:made me laugh as I've done it before, more than once.

It's like my 'Why am I so disorganised' book, I keep loosing in my tip of a house, just ironic!

Beeep beeep beeep that'll be the DW saying it's done. Suppose I best go empty it. Might see if there is another small task for the boys to do before they have tea.

Fedup - have a hug sweetie, I know you are finding the whole thing with your ex really hard.

Mummyof5 that is great news on the college courses and I hope DD likes some of the course. I don't think anybody ever loves a whole course (DS loves geography but hates rocks)

I've got two meals cooking to take away with us as the food is expensive and not always great at centre parcs. I've found my packing list and have done one page. Off to do another and then feed the cats before war breaks out.

Livingroom now all changed round ready for winter.
Kitchen still tidy. :j
Right i've an hour and a half and then i need to do airport run, que sleeping down the road. The road people have changed the road layout and i swear yesterday i did wonder where i was.

DW on and WM about to.

Dusty, I have had it over a year, maybe even 2, never got past the first chapter! Yes I am serious, story of my life!

DS2s just put all the games in the cupboard (tidy up just mean't not across the floor & in right boxes) DS1s under a blanket with a tummy of vapourub and coughing his little head off so didn't think I'd ask him, hope he's better by Tuesday as I've just booked for them to go to activities Tuesday, Thursday then a free trip to Flamingoland on Friday (I'm going too so must be better by Friday!).

Dishwasher emptied and dirty pots waiting in it. Got the washing in, wind blowing so hard & sun still out so I couldn't resist putting the caravan linen out to see if I can at least get it part dry outside. Cloud watching now as I know with that wind it could change any time. Or end up in next doors garden......place your bets! Ds1 thinks it's going to thunder, he's obsessed with thunder and lightning at the minute.

Ds1 decided he isn't hungry, Ds2 wants pasta so pretty straight forward tea. I must get the chicken that has been defrosting for 24 hours out of the fridge to see if I can speed it up a little, want to put it in the SC in the morning as I can see me needing to go out tomorrow

FEDUP ***HUGS*** Hope you manage to stick with your rules, they really aren't worth the tears honey x x
