By 'decluttering' him from FB is not petty. I did this with all ex family too. One I don't want to see his new (but according to him not!) GF writing on the families walls and also i don't want them to see what we get up to without him. Its not bitter as i suspect like me you've been left to pick up a lot of the pieces he left behind. xxxxx

Anyway i digress! PM me if you want to vent!

Have managed to be a very naughty mummy and had a couple of glasses of the good stuff with my best friend! Bit early but sometimes its just necessary! My kitchen is sparkling as are bathrooms! Living room will be blitzed in a little while. The LO's will be in bed at 7 so will mop etc then.Tomorrow won't be doing much as out and then Thursday got some training. Going to iron later too while watching Kirsties Homemade Home. Hoping to declutter some money tomorrow on some pretty things to wear! This girl has got to get back in the game!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks, I didn't mean it to all come out here .

I have made yummy thai curry but had to nip to the corner shop for coconut milk....and, ahem, maybe a bottle of Magners. So cheers .

Need to have a pamper tonight I think, declutter greasy hair and stubbly legs.

Have:
washed up
done washing
taken bag to charity shop
done recycling
1 hour ironing
decluttered "Single Father" from iPlayer
been to Mr Ms
decluttered story to DS
written in DS's Home/School book

plus bits of the list that I've done. It doesn't look so bad when I put it like that. :T

Enjoy your evenings.

Waiting on DH to arrive home and then will cook dinner so in the meantime can I get the rest of these shoeboxes covered??

Question for those of you with infant school aged children - what sort of quick crafts would your children like to do at a Christmas event? I've run the craft room a few times but I'm lacking new ideas - things I've thought of are

Christmas placemats (card, decorate, then laminate)
Bookmark
Christmas cards - always popular and easy to do different styles for different ages
Christmas cracker - one of those easy kit ones - decorate & fill?

or radically - help to make a huge joint picture in the hall?

have decide I am going to write each of the things on my list onto slips of paper and pull one out of a pot each morning and then DO IT!!! 'cos I keep ignoring the list as they are all things I have been putting off for ages.....I'll start tomorrow

MOAM do you have a budget? can you buy stuff in? there are some lovely gift ideas in the yellow moon catalogue like tree decorations that you colour with special pens etc. That's what they usually do at our Christmas Fair!

Don;t know whether to or :eek: at Kirstie's new series on C4

I've got DS a pack of quick and easy hand puppets which seems quite nice. It's just a bit of felt with holes in to thread through and eyes to stick on really but it's a bit different. The gingerbread man looks cute.

I don't know how easy/cheap these are but I'm sure I've seen clear baubles that you can put your own picture in, that might be nice. Or any christmas tree decoration - fimo and glitter have been used to create a few when DS was at nursery. Or even card.
