Lamewolf - take a hug. Hope you can clear your mind from your horrible dream.
Had an hour and a half to clean this morning so swept the kitchen, dining room and hall. Recleaned the kitchen (how does it get in such a state!). I also cleaned 2 bathrooms and the downstairs loo.
The ironing is getting beyond a joke. I have so much to do but the house is such a mess I can't make a start until I've conquered the CHAOS.
DS3's teacher has moved him next to the daughter of a toxic mother who I have unfinished business with. I think the daughter knows some of what is going on as she keeps getting DS in trouble. He can't understand why she is telling fibs about him. I don't want him caught up in this so I will have to request an audience with the teacher to get him moved away from her.0 -
Hi everyone,
And thank you for all the good wishes for DD2. She's much better, sitting downstairs, and has stopped being sick. She even managed egg-in-a-cup at lunchtime.
I've had a fairly lazy day today, completely unintentionally, I just couldn't seem to get out of the bit somehow.
If anyone feels like a HHC at 4.30, I'm going to venture upstairs.......Saving up £25000/£3500 by Jan 1st 2012 by selling my clutter. Remember I'm doing it for Dad.
Textiles, languages, travel and a lovely home are not stupid things to want. You have immediate family's support.Appreciate what I've achieved so far. Other people's opinion of me is none of my business.0 -
Just did a quick 15min tidy up & hoover in the living room, looks slightly better than it did - at least there is floor again now!
DH is going to be so surprised with everything I've got done today :T
Just need to do another 15mins or so in bedroom so we can actually get in bed tonight -no sheet, duvet cover or pillowcases, and there is a pile of ironing I found & a pile of the kids clothes to put away before I can get to the bed :rotfl:
Need to do meal plan & order food shopping this evening, wonder what I'll forget this week! The past 3 weeks I've had to go out and get loads of stuff I forgot... I blame the pregnancy brain!Grocery Challenge £5.43/£320.00

Have caught up! Today I have also changed my bed and tidied my bedroom. Put all ironing away. Washed towels and dried them. Revised my 30 day plan. Went to town and bought birthday presents, also picked up a couple of Christmas bits as well so feeling quite good! Am on DD1 case to get tidying her room! Going to hoover stairs after tea then put DD2 and DS to bed and then I am going out! Think i deserve it! Doing some training tomorrow so not sure when i'll be about. Hope everyone well. xxxIf music be the food of love then play on"No matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow". ღ ~Maya AngelouDoing it for my kids.

Hair is nicely drying, 1hr of study decluttered so am now making inroads into next week so I can give myself the week off being in hospital.
Planned to go out tomorrow with my sister to hit the poundshops for me and mothercare for her and then debenhams with a our £5 vouchers.
Painted my nails a nice pretty plum and picked out a purple top for tonight so I should co-ordinate and look rather girly woooo!
Already feeling hungry tho and we are not sitting down until 8 so might grab some toast to enjoy while watching Jamie and doing crochet .. cannot do any jobs or I might chip my nails or get dirty and am now all shiny and clean.
Ooooh all excited about going out its such a rare event and I never bother with nails or make up so I might even put some make up on too later..
