    Thanks for the link lil_me I will look into that for DS. We are lucky to be surrounded by Legoland, Thorpe Park, Chessington and London but I can't afford to do too much to be honest! And it's risky as to whether he'll like stuff or not. He is in Sutton now till Sunday staying with his dad. You can't have it all, lol.

    Right, I have decluttered Avatar film from Lovefilm. (Does this count as decluttering???) I guess so as the films usually just sit on the shelf looking at me for goodness knows how long. It was very well crafted, I bet it looked good at the cinema.

    Hope everyone's having a nice evening. Time for hot chocolate and a book I think. Rock and roll.

    Evening! been out for some pub grub with a friend I don't see often enough and decluttered nearly 3 and a half hours worth of chat :D Bathroom and kitchen both looking good now but need floors doing in the morning. Front room looks a mess again - I'm sure the furries must have done it whilst I was out ;) :rotfl:

    Must get it sorted tomorrow morning as mum is coming round to make come bits for school for me.

    Froddy I'll send LadyL a text as she's not been online for a day or so, and see about tomorrow. I would have offered to watch Saw3 with you but the first one scared me so much, I don't think I could face another one (particularly in 3d). Let me know when and where would be most convenient for you (I'm flexible).

    The best I can do tomorrow is somewhere in central Portsmouth late afternoon as mum is round for a couple of hours from midday and I will then be carless whilst it gets a new windscreen.

    Night all, sleep well xx

    Distributed books between different bags. I can't make my mind up which bags will be stronger...

    Still ill and can't sleep! But I know from skimming the thread it could be so much worse so hugs etc to all in need. Really hope I'll be back to normal soon. Its totally wrecked half term. Although my kids have been to Nannies so i'm sure they haven't been too hard done by. So mad with their dad as he won't change his plans this weekend and he should be the one i can turn to in times like this. My poor parents have changed all their plans but oh no not him and he had the cheek to ask his dad to come and stay and help out! So obviously his enjoyment is far more important than his kids...he always was a selfish b***ard! Shame it took me 9 years to realise!! Aaah well what goes around comes around! Night all. xxx

    Well, i've managed to empty a laundry basket today.. which is amazing considering this morning DD1 'tidied' her bedroom.. which means either binning or putting in the wash basket everything from her bedroom floor!.. so I cleared that and a basket.. 6 loads of laundry later! i even got the towels out on the line!!

    Nail appt in the morning then i have a baby to bath and three more baskets of laundry to get done, i am taking Jacob for some shoes after lunch and i need to fit in a tesco run.. though it is looking likely OH will be sent with a list!

    I have a cake to bake..
    laundry to do..
    a bed to strip..
    3 binbags for charity shop..
    Jacobs shoes to buy..
    and take DD3's back as the velcro on them is trashed!..
    a binbag of bedding to take to DS1's
    and I MUST do some more sorting and flinging in my room..

    My house WILL be perfect even if just for 10 minutes!
