Morning All

We have a lovely morning here, so hopefully I will get lots done (haven't so far though)

Got up this morning and my darling daughter had completely tidied up the front room - it was such a surprise. So I only need to dust and hoover in there today.

Need to tidy everywhere else though as my landlady and her husband are popping in tomorrow - don't want her to think we don't look after her property!

What is everyone else up to today?

    I have never known it so quiet in here!

    Cant stay long as am on a time plan today and have studying from 1pm - 3pm then a 6 mile walk from 3.30pm to 5pm

    I must get both of these things done otherwise I will feel guilty.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Oh dear, ereryone must have a life today! I have just finished the front room, it has been dusted and hoovered within an inch of its life so it had better stay that way at least until after the landlady has been.

    We have bought some chocolate in ready for any trick or treaters tomorrow, so we need to get our halloween candles down and ready to light. When Jade was younger and I used to walk round with her, we would only call on houses that had some obvious sign of halloween decoration out, as that gave an indication they might be happy to have trick or treaters knocking at the door.

    Has anyone tried the new chocolate bar called Bliss? It is really nice (unfortunately as I have had to buy a few so far and they are 69p each!)

    Sold some books on ebay - got the grand total of £11.76 - still was going to give them to charity so it is something I suppose.

    I love Halloween, I have bought the boys a pumpkin still even though they are older now.

    Going to my Mums tomorrow when it gets dark as my 2 neices will be there playing party games and Mum always gets dressed up.

    I dont:D

    Hi All,

    Went out for DH birthday last night which MIL paid for but been feeling sick all day. (That may be the 4 mojitos though!)

    Been making halloween stuff with kids but I wont see any of it as working 12.5 shift at hospital tomorrow. Not to worry the extra money will help.
