    Hi all :)
    Hope everyone is happy and healthy - it has been like the house of ill here :( We have all had throat/chest infections, colds and my youngest has even possibly had swine flu :(
    I'm feeling very poorly right now but hey ho Xmas is just around the corner and I have plenty of tidying up to do as ever,lol!!
    Anyone fancy HHC please? I don't know how much I will actually get done but a start is a start and I'm hoping that with a bit of festive tunes in the background it will help me to start feeling better -fingers crossed :)
    I will be starting in about 5 minutes - anyone want to join me?
    Jen xx

    DD's room is tidy just need to hoover and clean the window. Boys room is ok but i'll do the rest and then hoover, clean window. There all watching a movie and complaining of being hunger so i best get them fed. Then i'll sort the bedrooms and deep clean the bathroom (i'm pulling everything i can out). :D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
  • I'll join you Jenny with a HHI,

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    I will join you Jenny - just wrapped Moon's presents, and have the rest to wrap too, so will have a HHPW (Half hour present wrap). As I've got to put Moon's presents out in the garage (there is cheese in his that won't go in the fridge and it's cold out there) I'll put a load of washing on too.

    Meant to say earlier sockdrawer - that scarf looks really pretty - I'm sure your DD will appreciate the care and effort that has gone into it.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.
    I married Moon 8/4/2011, baby boy born 26/9/2012, Angel Baby Poppy born 8/11/15, Rainbow baby boy born 11/2/2017

    Morning - oops not any more is it!

    Slept until 11 o clock this morning :o despite going to bed at 1030 so have only managed to breakfast, shower and catch up on here so far.

    Happy Birthday to AnW'smum, Dippypud and Mumof2's DS (hope your day gets better)

    House isnt too bad at the mo despite the list stillbeing huge but both living rooms are done and trees up and decorated. Kitchen and dining room are ok, utility had a big clean out the other day, bathroom and cloakroom ok which just leaves bedrooms :eek:. Ours is a bit of a pigsty with presents needing to be wrapped and all the wrapping stuff as well as its need a big declutter. Washing needs sorting and starting and then need to think about what to eat today. DD's is a nightmare as usual but if she gets it sorted she can have friends round tomorrow for a bit of a xmas party. Need to do a freezer update too as stuff gets shoved in the little one for convenience and then we lose all kind of order. And need to know what I have in before I do the final xmas food shop tomorrow. WIll need to keep myself busy as DH is supposed to be going to London for the final installment in his saga, weather permitting.

    OK my feet are cold so better go get dried and dressed and crack on.
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!

    Hugs, mumof2. Hope your day gets better.

    DS2 breakfasted and Lego helicopter built, but I somehow managed to skip food again. Not good. :(
    New timetable agonised over and it looks like work is going to be complete carp until at least July. Can't go into detail on an open forum, otherwise I'd have a right old rant! :mad: E-mail sent to try and resolve at least one issue.
    Must eat and put some clothes on, then start whizzing round. DH was supposed to help a bit this am, but he got up late and then HAD to be out by 11.30. Roll-eyes, where are you when I need you? DS1 is still out after staying at a friend's last night.

    Going to hunt for clothes and forage in the kitchen first. x
