I've just tidied through as best I can, vacuumed through upstairs after taping some carpet scraps down to make temporary rugs, chucked 3 bags of rubbish & various odds in the wheelie bin which is now more than half-full again despite only being emptied this morning:rotfl: Now off to finish making up the beds.

There will be no more decorating now until

• Wednesday evening when I'll do the sugarsoaping.
• Thursday I'll do DD's room while she's at school (maybe my room)
• Friday nothing (Insulation men here, bath & work by 12!)
• Saturday I'll do the hall walls & gloss as much as possible. Going to be a smelly house this weekend so I need to add more onions to my shopping list!
• Sunday - Whatever is left to do will be done Sunday
• Monday - bathroom which shouldn't take long once the prep is done.
• Tuesday/Wednesday I'm in work so can move stuff downstairs out the way in the evening with a little help from DD & fill the cracks & holes downstairs.
• Then landlady can have the fellas come to fit the carpets on the Thursday 2nd Dec, then I can put upstairs back together on the Friday & Saturday as necessary
• Saturday/Sunday I can pack up downstairs as much as possible and move it upstairs :rotfl:
• Sunday paint the ceiling - it'll take most of the day as I have to do above the picture rail as well and its a textured ceiling :eek::mad:
• Monday 6th - Gloss the livingroom & kitchen
• Tue/Wed - work
• Thur - emulsion the livingroom
• Fri - finish off, bath & work for 12
• Saturday put livingroom back together & clear kitchen
• Sunday paint kitchen shouldn't take long once its cleared as its small
• Monday 13th - Put the christmas decorations up :rotfl:

I also need to go and get DD into bed, she has school in the morning and is still in the bath! :mad:

I managed to do my bathrooms and they are sparkling clean. Unfortunately the shower head in the kids bathroom is not behaving itself so I'll have to go to the DIY shop tomorrow.

Study is DH's responsibility - it's more than my life is worth to get involved.

Busy day tomorrow with my homestart course and swimming lessons straight after school. Sandwiches made for the morning. My bed is calling me. Goodnight all.

Evening all! Thanks to all for your kind thoughts. Didnt quite make the list today, did blitz the bathroom at silly o'clock, but spent most of the morning with mum, who's really upset. Losing a husband, sister, nephew and now brother in one year has been very hard on everyone, but she's feeling so guilty as she didnt see him before he was too ill to remember- uncle lived in New Zealand and she couldn't face the trip alone. I now have DD in bed with tonsilitis, swallowing penicillin and paracetamol and whimpering a lot! Never mind, managed to declutter a chicken carcass into the stockpot so chicken soup tomorrow! Big hugs to all..

Evening all!

1. Woke up before my alarm - someone parks his van outside mine at night, rather than his own place, then proceeds to rev the engine for 5 minutes at 5 to 6 every morning before driving off.

2. Mildly shocked Bloke and DD come downstairs to be met with me making them tea and toast (not my usual behaviour!). Decluttered them both to the bus stop and marmalade on toast for myself.

3. Decided to go up for shower. Sat on bed. Woke up at 10.30am when the electrician started testing the smoke alarms (they were faulty, going off without any reason). The Bloke had left me asleep on the bed and dealt with it himself

4. Booked SKY reinstallation visit (it looks rubbish, so they are coming back to shift it).

5. Wandered off into town in search of lampshades that fit low energy light fittings. Needed 5. Came back with one very sparkly one instead of the plain ones I was supposed to be getting them.

6. Came back as Bloke went to meet DD from drum lessons. Home alone at last! Assembled lampshade and put up in landing.


7. Got text from KH. He's in hospital with septicaemia and is hoping the doctor can save his thumb/hand :eek:, having not cleaned a cut up properly a month ago. Sent a pleasant, concerned text back (I am SUCH a deceitful old bag!) and made sure DD knew he wasn't very well, and topped up her phone so she could send him a message.

8. Baked a perfect Victoria Sponge with DD without argument, hostility or murdering her. I don't bake (last time I made a cake, I was about 13), and she never spends time with me without having a go at me about something. Bloke was so surprised, he sneaked in with a camera and took pictures of us getting along.

9. Finished just in time for KH to text her to say that surgery was OK, he still had all his fingers and thumbs and is going to be discharged tomorrow. Waved a happy, cake filled DD off to bed.

10. All I have to do now is deal with mother tomorrow, buy DD1 an 18th birthday present (seeing as she hasn't spoken to me more than twice in over 6 months, am I being reasonable in only sending her a bottle of pink champagne and a card, rather than spending the £200 I would have done had she been here still? and remember to get mum's birthday card for the day before DD1's 18th, before meeting her in town to bring her here for the first time.

Sigh. And this was an easy day.

But my cake is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDD

Well I've not flown high tonight but have bimbled, heated tea for DP & I (who is definately impressed with the acquiring of corned beef pie) did some laundry, then DP & I snuggled on the sofa with a film which was really nice. Of course I managed to mention isn't it nice to have sofas not full or parp....pah I'm not that silly, know a good mood to hint at when I see one

Can't believe after feeling so tired all day that I'm sat here wide awake whilst DP snores .... Oh well another training day tomorrow, just hope it's better than today's which was boring, simplistic and not something worth the money they're being paid.
