Sorry I havent been around all week as I have been away with OH to Llandudno on the coach...I was courier again.Fabulous hotel and food was out of this world....even though we were actually working we had a wonderful time and I managed to sort out some xmas pressies too so a win win there.

Came back to a lovely tidy house:j:j:j...I was really pleased with the kids xxx

Hugs,Happy Birhdays,commiserations as needed ...I have no chance of catching up on the last thread....no internet connection in the hotel...

Today I have to go food shopping at some point and crack some of the washing and drying...I have a mountain of the stuff..

Also need to decide where LOs boxes of toys are going to go as they are currently where my Xmas tree goes and there is no where else to put it

Will also hoover through the house at some point ...I will Iwill.

Love to all xx

Just sorting out a CC repayment plan for the next few years to finally get my backside in gear over this and stop burying my head in the sand - then the debtfree life will be well on its way at long last

Just waiting for a call from one of the CC companies to call back then onto getting ready, bathing the dog, finishing the bathroom off then the spare room and parcel up some returns for tomorrow then the kitchen and HHI

Today is going to be a busy day :eek: I have all my usual Sunday chores plus the decorating to get done as I only have today and tomorrow to get it done unless I can grab a couple of hours on Wednesday after work for the last minute things.

DD is going to be given a duster and told to go for it in the livingroom when she gets in. I'll give the windows a quick wipe over rather than wash. I'll do them properly when I've finished the decorating.

Off to tackle DDs hair. Then hopefully X will be here to take her out for the day and I'll be able to get a bath to destink in peace.

Good Morning Everyone.
Another cold, sunny day here, however we're supposed to get a bit more snow later on. In a way I'm quite pleased, as it means that the local ski centre, (which was bought out by local people who worked there a couple of years ago) will have a successful time of it. Many of them re-mortgaged their houses etc, and while I'm not involved with it, I know they've had some worrying seasons.
Dusty re Sticky Eyes If you can't get along to the pharmacy or it's closed being Sunday, I usually use boiled, cooled salty water to bathe them (use different cotton wipes for each eye) then get two used teabags and place them on each eye for 10 mins. Not sure why it works, but it does give some relief.
Toots Aye, the list does look a bit out of hand, but it's a mixture of stuff I have to batter on with for my wee business, things I've promised to do for DH/MILs business and things I want to do for myself and I'm notorious at this time of year for having panics about what I have to do re. work. (and just wasting the day because I feel overwhealmed rather than facing it and getting on with it.) I've realised it's all capable of being broken down into 15 min chunks if I start early enough, which should stop me becoming stressed (and subsequently covered in Psoriasis) by the whole thing. Pretty pleased about the never ending jumper, which has benifited greatly from the 15 mins every day!
Thank you for my jolly Christmas tree!! Hope you are keeping warm and comfortable dearie. x
Maxonian, Happy Birthday hon! Hope it's a lovely one!!
Hellyboo Sweetie, I hope you're being very kind and gentle with yourself today, and getting a chance to chill out. <<hugs>>

:bdaycake:Happy birdday Maxonian! Hope you have a lovely lunch.

:grouphug:for those who are feeling poorly or having a tough time at the moment.

I'm off to get dressed and then tidy up the house some more - Moon may bring his shooting club friend back for a coffee afterwards, so need to make sure the place is as tidy as it was last weekend. As our guests are coming to dinner on Friday rather than Saturday, it is probably a good thing to get a head start on the cleaning anyway, as no doubt the cooking will keep me busy on Friday afternoon.

I also need to write Christmas cards so I can post them off this week.

Hope everyone is keeping warm.

Happy Birthday, Maxonian. Hope you have a lovely lunch.

Still feeling weird, despite breakfast and paracetamol. Can't even say exactly what's wrong. DW has now joined WM and TD and family has been fed. Just DS2 and me left in the house now (again), until later this afternoon.

Must:
sort some clean laundry and put last lot in WM
have a bath
do budget
WORK
HW with DS2
find something for tea that virtually cooks itself with little prep

First laundry, then bath, followed by HW, I think.
