    :T:T:T:T:T Thanks for the heads up on the ole CNDuP :) I usually end up paying £10 a bottle for it, will have to make sure it's on my shopping list this week.

    And :D:D:D for W, will pass that on when he wakes in the morning.

    Flipping pc is driving me demented, takes hours and hours and hours to reboot :( In an ideal world I need to do a complete reinstall to clear it up. The emotional ties have stopped me before now but I am going to have to do something soon or it will be heading out the window, and not a MS one!
    :o GULP :o I cant find it on their website now and I KNOW it was there earlier as I wanted to get some to take to our friends on Friday. Will have to go instore asap now and will let you know.

    We also had similar probs with PC and DH wont throw anything away so he relegated it to DD to do her homework and things on and we got a shiny new one :D

    And I am gone now as still havent done anything :(
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!

    I'm in, thank you FCC

    I have three weeks until the in laws decend from Spain (and Ollie's 3rd birthday :eek:) so my aim between now and then is to do everything from levels 1,2 and 3 that is applicable to me...but I have to start Tuesday as Ollie has a speech and language therapy assesment in the morning and I have to leave the house at 7.45, get a bus to Bedford at 8 and then find the clinic at the other side for his appointment at 9.30 - then sit through 2 hours of it before coming home again. OH took the day off for it, but the car isn't on the road and his work van only seats two. Have got everything ready tonight apart from Jake's milk so hopefully it will just be a case of get up, feed kids, get dressed and go, but something is bound to go wrong. Especially as I don't know where we're going once we're off the bus...

    Anyway, will post the list now in the hopes there's something I can cross off before I go to bed...

    Well, that all needs doing....
    I'll see how I get on tomorrow afternoon but after all that I'll be knackered I know. I really need to learn to drive...

    Evening all

    Hope everything goes well for you in the morning, helly.

    Had a busy day here and I'm still working on some of the stuff, but I CBA to find my list from earlier. Short of time, too.

    I'm in again this week, albeit in my limited term-time mode. Thanks to FCC. It's really helped that I'm not even looking at the 'proper' list. DH doesn't acknowledge that some things have got better, but I know they have. ;)

    Plan for this week:
    inhalers morning M T W T F
    laundry M T W T F
    tea M T W T F
    DS2 physio M T W T F
    S&S kitchen M T W T F
    S&S bathroom M T W T F
    HHC in room of the day M T W T F
    inhalers evening

    I'll add to this tomorrow - got to focus on work now. Night all. xxx
  • Hi everyone, I'm new here and I'd love to join as my house majorly needs sorting out and some sort of routine developing! I'm just getting over PND so for the past few months just the basics have been getting done and now it's time to get sorted! We're also moving in a few weeks so I need to declutter and make sure that we aren't moving junk that we don't actually need!

    Daily List for tomorrow:-
    Hoover Living Room, Hall & Dining Room

    I'm off to get some stardrops in the morning after dropping DS1 at nursery (and hopefully the walk will settle DS2 into a nice nap!) then I can get cracking after my obligatory cup of HOT coffee with no interuptions!

  • Thanks for the new list, I am in again this week.
  • I am in again this week thanks to all at FCC.

    I have got to take DS to speech therapy in the morning so will be flying lightly when I get back although girls have helped me to get a lot done today painkillers are rubbish but will get as much as possible done.

    ~waves~

    I'm still here - just incredibly busy. Am now doing 4 jobs concurrently/simultaneously depending on what and when just to make ends meet.

    This credit crunch thing certainly bites!

    BB fine
    Chickens fine (and still amusing!)
    Kids fine

    I'm exhausted

    Love to all xxx
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life
