Not sure how much of this I'll realistically achieve, but I need to make some progress before my next trip (Sunday)
One load of laundry in, DW filter cleaned and on cleaning cycle. Washing in TD (it's damp and miserable outside. Next load of washing about to go in, then I need to get dressed. I think I have about 5 or 6 more loads of washing, but not all of them need doing today (although the sheets do as I didn't have time to wash the other set last time I changed them

House looks awful this morning so today will be bits and pieces done in each room. I'm hoping to get alot of decluttering done in the boys room aswell.
So far rubbish gathered up in kitchen and livingroom, DW on and second load ready to go in when it's finished.
Lil_me sorry for confusing, we done the whole halloween thing last night. Children get a lie in then.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 -
Morning everyone :wave:
I'd forgotten about altering the clocks, so that was a nice surprise...
it's been mad around here for the past couple of weeks...and boy can you tell by looking at the house
I'm hoping November will be calmer. So far DS has not informed me that any more unis need inspecting - twas Lincoln yesterday - nor that he'll require picking up at silly o'clock 'cause someone else is turning 18..I was propositioned as I sat in the car outside a pub on Thursday night :eek:...finances are not that bad yet though, (and he must have been very drunk!!!:rotfl:).
I did enjoy watching scantily clad males grappling at Grimsby Auditorium on Friday night though...spoiled a little by DS hissing 'don't you dare mother' everytime one came within grabbing distance - we were on the front row;) hehe...now would I?:A
A new month tomorrow - and I do like it when the 1st is a Monday - seems nice and tidy somehow....my house is a tip but I match clothes pegs and my kitchen cupboards are 'anal'...someone had to explain to me why it was a problem wanting all your labels facing forward in that film 'Sleeping with the Enemy'...I thought it was a perfectly natural thing to do:rotfl:
DS has gone to Coventry today - a karting exhibition - so I'm going to have a 'get organised' day ready for a new beginning...again:o
love hugs spoons and sticks to all
