Your OH needs to get a new fetish:rotfl:

MrsChaos

Plan for today:
[STRIKE]dailies[/STRIKE] - DW on, laundry started (WIP), lunch and scones made, beef stew in oven, rubbish/recycling put out
clear some space in the kitchen
budgetting
CC/present list
work work
internet shopping

Time to put lunch dishes away and start WM/TD on another round. My head feels woolly and legs are achy, so I best get moving to take my mind off it.

A&W'sMum well done, I can feel hubbie smiling

Managed to get a few bits done outside before rain stopped play.

Cake should be baked in a minutes and DS due back with DSs too so tea and cake and then insurance for DH and I plus office tidying/paperwork.

They hang outside the front bay window so were easy to do but thanks for the concern hex

ooh, safe electrics - where you can use them with outside leads and everything.

Pea green with envy . Most rooms here have one socket and I can't spare one for outside so no lights. We had solar ones but they died very quickly so I refuse tobuy again.

I've woken up dead this morning.. someone has filled my chest cavity with glue and stuffed feathers in my throat.. I think I had tampons up my nose too...

The motion sensitive air freshener in the hallway... I anticipated its spray this morning.. I gaily danced down the stairs.. I flicked my pj leg in front swiftly.. and it hasn't got the speediest of reflexes so when it sprayed I had already moved back out of its demonic spray..

'AHA!!!' I chuckled 'I foiled your dastardly plan to make me smell sweet!'

Skipped down the step into the backroom...

And promptly stepped on half a dead mouse... I hadn't seen that coming!

Phew - have just been lurking for a couple of days but plodding with the lists and am getting somewhere

Toots - I already have my snowman for Monday but can I have Tues, Wed and Fri please?

Our study was used for our business and we now have 2 businesses on the 'go' (they're not really going but we have masses of stock everywhere) - things have been so hectic this year that the room is an utter mess so if we can manage to clear the floor to any extent that would be a huge bonus and will help us try to get some much needed cash out of the businesses. It is hard and a little dangerous to try to get up there with the twins but I might try it with them for 15 minutes but I'm not convinced that I can actually declutter more in 15 mins than they can destroy in 15 mins but nevermind!
I am really pleased to have got the bathrooms done as we have 4 and they are gleaming now and it shouldn't be too hard to keep them that way.
I would love to be able to spend tomorrow on the extras so I am hoping for a quick bedtime for the kids tonight and then we can try to watch TV on real time rather than sky + and blast the study in the ad breaks of I'm a celeb and X factor.
