Morning All
Sorry I missed your birthday Toots - glad you had a nice day.
Congratulations esmf - knew you could do it!
Well done mumto5.
I went to my mum and dad's for tea but then DH brought me home so I could go to bed - I was in bed at 6.20. I was freezing - I'd got my pjs on, the duvet on and the heating on. By the time DH got into bed at 9 I was so hot - I'd stripped off by this time - you could have fried an egg on me!
Banging head this morning - well all night really - so I can't see much getting done although I could do with doing loads really. We're supposed to be going to look at WMs later as it's awkward getting 1 delivered as we're both at work all day and mum and dad have gone on holiday today so mum can't come and sit in for us.
Anyway, I can take washing up to my mum's if need be and do it there but hopefully we'll get something sorted this weekend.
So will see how today goes - hopefully if I don't do too much today I'll be alright tomorrow.
Have a good day all
Hugs

What a flipping night, Rhys up at 12 didn't go to sleep until after 3 then up every half hour. I do not know what is wrong with him but he's driving me nuts.
Now need to get everyone up and dressed for the airport run, my sister is coming to and we're suppose to go to ikea. I've a feeling it's gonna be a very long day.:(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.:j :j0 -

Council are giving me a new house next year, this house but it'll be new lol I've got to move out for 6-8 weeks while they gut the place do the insualtion and rendering outside and al lnew internals inside the whole shebang, new roof, guttering the lot, I'm so happy I can't tell you. My house is my biggest bug-bear and cause of my down days it will be removed as of next year.
Anyway that's my big news. I've just been upstairs to collect the washing basket and cleared littleys floor in the process. WM is on, will empty the TD shortly, it's in the utility outside and can't bring myself to go out there yet. Need to do gardeny stuffs too this w/e.

Building works have started across the street and the entrance is right in front of where I park my car, I aint moving so they'll have to, I'm expecting a knock on my door Monday. Busy chewing over the xmas pressie list, need money for new carpets/flooring for next year so will be a tight Primarnie xmas methinks, that'll please MILshe hates the place, but I don't care. Needs must.
Right I'll stop waffling and get on, after my broo of course.

Morning
Feeling really rough this morning, kept getting woken up by bad leg cramps in the night and my left leg feels really sore and tight.
Today will be spent mostly loading and unloading the WM and tumble dryer. I thought I was on top of the washing but for some reason both of my baskets are full. We all have enough clothes to wear so it can't be that bad but I need to get it down. Last winter I had no tumble dryer so ended up with the house looking like a chinese laundry for about 4 months and it really got me down so don't want to get behind.
Taking the boys swimming this afternoon, will be the first time for the baby. Should be interesting as he's not keen on baths unless someone is in with him so we'll see how it goes...
Think I'll leave the bedding until next week as I don't have a spare set and want to get the laundry baskets down a bit first. The cat has killed a bird in the night and there's feathers all over the conservatory so I need to sort that out too.
