I have made a list of jobs to do around the house. It has 135 things to do !! Some are for DH or DSs to do. Quite a few are sorting jobs for me to do. Now I am feeling a bit panicky about it but the fact that it is all written down and I can start to work through it should be helpful.

pooh honey dont panic because know you dont have to keep remembering them or gett stressed when you forget something - its a great feeling deleting things - I look at my major list about once a week and find I have done something and then i will see something I had forgotten - i find it works for me! Good to see DS3 is home safe again and excellent news about the re-mortgage - fingers crossed for the bank next week too. (((hugs)))
kazm take it steady - its lovely to have you posting - sorry to see you have a bad headache - hope it goes soon (((hugs)))
kalojac - nice to see you - will put you back on the list shortly.
lil_me hope the review went ok and it was a lovely thought to give you the vouchers. you deserve them.
castri (((hugs))) I am sorry to hear your news - its not an easy time for any of you - do what you can because sometimes being busy helps but dont stress if things are a bit behind its not important in the grand scheme of things.

MOAM have you put the bins out?????

piggers well done to KH for showing his true colours in front of the mediator - can only help your position.
lamewolf great news about Sidney - have a nice day out tomorrow.
Jo-jo good to see you - sorry to hear your new house is frustrating you and OH is not helping (hugs)
kazw I dont fancy the Tower:eek::rotfl:
Triker thanks honey for the advance warning.

hugs and get well wishes for all the poorlies and especially LadyLiberty

hello all

well I have a toilet. Old bathroom suite has gone *fling*
well I SAY suite. I had a whisper peach bath, a whisper peach basin ... and a white loo!

Old radiator has gone, little wooden trim round walls has gone, skirting boards gone, wooden home-made by previous occupants bath panel gone. Old tiles gone. *cheers*
Cupboard for basin in place; plumbing for shower in place. Bath in dining room as are all accessories.

No point cleaning other than s&s anyway...

Evening all

Rubbish on the flying today, floor mopped, dailies done and that is it.

Did get a couple more pressies in town. Borrowed an energy meter from the library for 3 weeks too and have set up new savings accounts for Mum.

Off to do some ironing now and kick DS1 off the ps3 so that I can watch tv whilst doing it.

Hellyboo

Anyone want to join me in a HHI? :eek: yes, I am actually going to iron! Get your cameras ready to record the occasion, it doesn't happen often!

I'm rubbish today too. I feel a bit overwhelmed by life at the moment but I've no idea why?
WE got one of those Owl things to monitor the electricity and it tells you what temp it is too in the house. DH got it (asked for it) for Christmas last year. He does drive me bananas with it though. I sometimes feel like unclipping it from the meter cupboard! He goes round switching things off and turning the thermostat down. Still he does save us money I guess and both of the utilities come out of my account!

Anyway, I've made a start on my Christmas cards, and have written the 2 overseas ones. Trick now is to remember to post them!

I'm gona find my list ready for morning.......
