Changed my mind about hoovering through, decided to start putting the sofa covers back on the cushions, although the one that goes over the base isn't dry yet
it's draped over my airer and breakfast bar stools but it's going to start to smell damp if it takes much longer to dry - any suggestions on how to speed it up, or I will be buying fabreeze on Friday...
Anyway, roast dinner cooked and eaten, pressies all wrapped, washing up done, wm on and kitchen swiped. Feeding bub in half an hour, finding a hiding place for the presents then going to bed, after some paracetamol has been decluttered.
Will update list in a sec, night night everyone xSo, there are these boys,
They kinda stole my heart,
They call me Mummy

Thanks Toots, we moved house so everything has been up in the air. With both kids at school all day - I need to get in the swing of things. I'm bored as I can't do a lot with out wheezing and coughing but I thought if I join now I can catch up with how you are all doing.. so it will be baby steps for a few weeks...
Good thing though oh has caught on to how it feels when you clean and it gets messed up straight away and all it took was a good dose of cold... after years of nagging! the house has been driving me mad though and he finally had enough today and cleaned it... and he's learned how to use the washer:eek: Although all the clean clothes are scattered on our bedroom floor but at least they clean!
Hope you are all well off to watch a dvd before trying to sleep!0 -

Well work have called me today and want me in for 2 hours each day for the next 3 days doing a phased return which has put my plans for the rest of the week out of sync. it is only 2 hours a day so will see if i can do it first thing in a morning rather than last thing at night. it would mean leaving the house at 7am and getting in about 10.30am which would be better for me than rush hour traffic if i do the 6pm to 8pm slot.
i am going to be evil with this one and play the back card as if i have to sit for longer than needed in the car my back starts to get really stiff and painful so avoiding rush hour traffic is something that is beneficial to my health or at least thats the way im putting it to them to get what i want. its only for a couple of days so its not like im wanting to start at 8am permanently as i dont do early monrings as i like my bed so much.
the rest of my ongoing lists

Good morning everyone. Up early as DH had forgotten top put out bins.Aaaargh. I'm going to have to do something about the mutual close and stairs- we share with the shop. My MIL has the close full of gubbins. To get the bins out, I had to move 3 bags of shredded paper a load of cardboard boxes from the shop and a delivery pallet. Really this is becoming too much! Moan over. Hope everyone has a lovely day. Clear skies so far where I am, so might even get out and search for sloes later.
