Grateful (((hugs))) not a good birthday for you then apart from betting a new car - excellent! sorry to hear about MiL - I do hope its something that they can treat and I hope DD is feeling better today.

Thanks, Toots. I think they can alleviate it but not cure it. Feel a desperate hypocrite as she's not the easiest of ladies, but wouldn't wish this on her, obv.

4 ebeast items packaged while OH dressed baby..
Basket of baby washing folded and put away.
2 bags filled with rubbish..
Laundry gathered off bedroom floor.

My room is a pit due to christmas presents hogging all my storage space and some so I am going to orchestrate a reshuffle this afternoon to find a bit of floor and as next weekend is to be my epic wrapping session I'll need the space!

This week OH and I are away into town so he can get christmas gifts for his family and I need to do my mothers shopping too.. And the few bits I still need to get.. but I have a list..

Today is made of ebay pics and bedroom reshuffling
WM
TD
DW
laundry folded and away (5 loads so far! :eek:)

Get lots of bin bags out and be ready to be brutal! Bin/recycle everything you don't 100% need, then find homes for everything else. I find throwing away the rubbish, taking out everything then finding new homes the best way

Just popping on quickly. We are in the 'unfortunate' position that our kids are snowed in at the MILs and we are snowed in here so kid free for no reason. We both have lots of school work to do and the bottom floor is a mess due to all the snow and sludge we have been trudging in and out but once I get those bits done I can crack on with the FLYlady list.
Even managed a bath this morning - living the dream!!!

Greenbee posts on Memory Girl's Matrix more than on here of late, I think, but I don't often read it (no time or I would) so whether hse's been on there lately or not I don't know.

5 more items listen on e bay - hoping someone desperate for quirky stocking fillers will spot them...

Had major meltdown at DD (unfortunately it's not all her but her brother's gone out to play. In the snow. He's 17...)
upshot of it was item removed from washbasket and rehung in her wardrobe and she's had to put a washload on herself. She also had to go to the shed to stop the dryer as they can all tumble together.

I am MAJORLY !"£%$£^%&*&(insert expetive of choice) SICK AND TIRED OF *NAGGING* KIDS TO PUT CLOTHES IN THE WASH ON FRIDAY and it not happening. They behave as if I have all the time in the world to turn round the washing. And then DS has the CHEEK to complain there is nothing to wear...

So I have removed the clothes from his floor and hung them in his wardrobe and they will now be worn at least once more before they're washed

muhahahahahaha


Swept snow off car in hope that sun will melt some of the ice. Wiped out freezer and switched back on - also wiped down door seals which were all sugary due to maple syrup spill a few weeks back, in fridge above. hadn't realised it had gone down there:o:o:eek::eek::o:o

I was wondering where greenbee is too, not seen her around for ages

Laundry now up to date apart from a Ds2 set of uniform tops I just found. Got my shorts ready to go under my trousers, wellies and gaitors (trousers don't fit in with my chunky legs) and I've been in the shower. I've just realised I haven't bought or done an advent for the kids yet, oops. Dw is almost done.

Before we set off' for ds2 I need to
Feed and water animals
Clear up rest of things in kitchen
Write the weeks shopping list
Tidy LR
Empty DW if finished

Valli nothing wrong with playing in snow at 17, we had a group of 20s and 30s last night out on the sledge
