    Greenbee hope things sort themselves soon, safe journey for your Mum too, sounds like you've got such a lovely supportive family ((hugs)) to keep you going until Mum arrives
    Sexymouse :( oh no that's not good, hope your sisters results come back ok

    WIL is back ...insert awful swear words here. We know as she called today demanding 2 taxis this evening to Middlesbrough and was told tough fully booked. DP seemed to stand up to her last time a lot more and seems to be sticking with it again. Expect a few 'irritated' facebook status updates until she clears back off.

    Anyway today so far, DS1 not in school as he didn't sleep last night until 5am, anxiety related and for a 'fun day' he wasn't going to be able to enjoy it in the state he was. Yesterday was bad enough for him, he had a really rough day and nothing they did calmed him.

    Sooooo we're going to crack on with the play room, making lots of progress in there, next project is empty the second book case, sort through, move the book case, attach them to the wall and take toys and books we've allocated 'to go' into the garage.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • Im going to be running to catch up with the HHC

    Its rubbish that so many are having *insert appropriate word* weeks/days/months/years. personally Im going to be glad to see the back of this year, some good has come out of it (my nephew and best friends wedding) but the rubbish days I could quite happily block from my mind and just pretend I slept through em!

    Well Im not going to the bank today, Im leaving that as I just CBA with that, i had a bit of a panic about 2 in the morning that involved me defrosting the car and driving to the 24 hour tesco! pregnancy test = negative which is good at this point in time, and chance would be a fine thing :rotfl:but just panicked for some stupid reason and it couldnt wait.

    But homeward bound on tuesday and i have an ironing collection booked for sunday night so need to get my finger out and complete some lists!

    Pigpen - could i ask a favour please? On Sunday night, could you please post the full weeks list so that I HAVE to get the house clean and tidy before going on my hollybags. If not I will re-work this weeks list so that its all done.

    Right off for a HHC in the kitchen whilst lunch is in the oven.

    How did our HHc's go?

    I am quite pleased with mine to say i didnt want to move..

    Changed bed linen
    Put washing machine on
    Wrapped two more presents (dad/man)
    Cursed under breath about Play - still waiting for one of mans presents it was dispatched on 4th dec apparently!
    Quick dust round in living room - tv, mantle, table
    Tidied table hotspot (a bit)
    Washed up and swiped kitchen sides down
    Binbag dance

    Not bad and you can see the difference. Well, I can. Jinx is still sulking and he will do even more soon when I get the hoover out, particularly when I do the sofa as he hates the hoover.

    Though first I am thinking maybe a little snooze on the sofa..
