    Well my dad's scan was clear. We got there at 550pm for a 6pm appointment and he was out at 610pm. I'm impressed. He bought us all fish and chips on the way home so I don't need to feed my brood which is nice as DH is away this week so it's one less meal to cook. DS in bed. Going to declutter DD to bed at 9pm and then me shortly afterwards.

    I've made the packed lunches for tomorrow and sorted my clinic for work tomorrow so will do a quick s/s now amd then I'm clocking off at 9.

    Hugs to all in need. Extra kicks for pigpen to pass on to FW!

    Hi Nattyt How did you get on in our HHC?
    I managed to declutter all the recycling stuff from the kitchen into the blue bins.
    Sort out the clean clothes and send off to their owners
    put on another wash
    cleared the stairs of gibble
    and put away the shopping I got earlier.

    Off to declutter a glass of wine now! xx

    Hi i emptied the DW, put washing away, decluttered recycling stuff same as you! Filed some paperwork and that was about it!!

    My ex's dad here and TBH hes overstayed his welcome! Hes completely getting on my nerves, hes so bloody negative and its really bringing me down. So glad hes leaving tomorrow as can see us falling out. Have decided in future no more than a weekend. Its been since Friday and its too long. Don't get me wrong he's good to us but i need my own space!! Hes never normally this bad. Roll on tomorrow!:)

    Congratulations to Valli on the new bathroom. Hope the installation is going well, and you aren't having to make too many cups of tea.


    Starts tomorrow, all being well - so 'Plumbers turn up in good time' vibes please.

    Was scrolling through fred very fast, no thanks, sorry, saw Toots reminder to take pix - ran upstairs and did the 'befores'.
    Was first, at work, with the 'happy news' - cos I wanted to check e bay in my lunch hour - I have a 'valuable antique' listed and 8 watchers:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:one bid for now but am hoping for a repeat of the 'snipers and the apron'

    Out on Thursday (school trip) and Friday afternoon (learning platform support group) but probably won't be doing much cleaning anyway, until the bathroom's done!

    I think I started planning for this over two years ago!

    Hellyboo I too am a sucker for the Irish accent, even watching Hollyoaks just now the delicious Brendans accent is making me melt!
    He was a dead ringer for him too! Designer stubble, blue blue eyes and dressed up in a smart suit, it was all I could do not to dribble...
    Urgent message for pigpen and all in FCC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    My DH would like to say thank you for all the lists and encouragement. Our house has never been so clean and tidy. He also says that I am a lot happier person these days.

    p.s. Thank you from me as well:dance::dance:

    Seconded!

    Going to wipe the keyboard and house phone (and my mobile actually, looks like DS1 has been licking it or something...) and then decant all the dribbles from bathroom bottles into my kitchen handwash bottle - cant remember who said they do the same but what a great idea! Then to make up the baby's bottles now I've detached myself from the wretched breast pump and then go to bed. Probably wont get much done while DS is at school tomorrow morning - I usually mop the floors but OH is home and DS2 has injections so it may have to wait.

    While I'm thinking about it - there is mould growing on my conservatory window frames (white uPVC) - can I use a mild bleach solution to clean it or am I best buying mould and mildew remover? And can I stop it coming back? We're looking into a dehumidifier but we wwont be able to get it until after xmas and it does get very damp in there from the TD. Any ideas?
    So, there are these boys,
    They kinda stole my heart,
    They call me Mummy
