Evening all.

I've been just a little constructive since my last post All the pressies (except sweeties & other livingroom homed stuff) has been put upstairs in DDs room ready to go away. I've washed up as much as I could, I filled the drainer with mugs :eek:

Since then I've been assembling my new bookcase. I've just gained 6" of my livingroom back in the sitting area It looks good, and finally I can see the whole of DDs collections of books instead of them being spread over several shelves. This should stop the problem of buying books from the charity shop which she's already got ;)

Monday...

[STRIKE]Do your dailies and go spend time with your friends and family.. [/STRIKE]Spent time with my dad when he took me to Arg0s for the bookcase but otherwise had a quiet day

Tuesday...

Do the dailies..
and those who are doing the ironing challenge.. HHI - Would do if I had done the washing
Binbag dance
Straighten the living room
S&S kitchen and dining areas

Personal list:
Wash up
Laundry x 2 (will wait until X has dropped off DDs pressies though in case there's clothing in that lot) - postponed until Tuesday
Ironing - post washing as I currently have none
Set Budget for 2011 (basing figures on no change in circumstances for the year)
Make Pate for freezer

I'm going to finish juggling furniture tomorrow. I haven't the energy left today That'll be the straighten the livingroom from the list. I might even take down my tree, its only been up a couple of days but I knocked it today and now its leaning to one side and to fix it I'd have to partly dismantle it anyway.

Will catch up in the morning again :wave:

Hello

Been shopping with the boys to the metro centre, yak, busy busy horrible so did the shops they had vouhcers for and came home. I don't tend to leave the house for anything but essentials (hence I always have ds1s birthday present bought for the 4th) and today was a reminder why. Chaos, bedlam, goodness it's just awful!

I'm going to make a Dunelm list, I have a credit note which needs using before the middle of January from a refund last year so I best go see what things they have that we need

I think I'll manage to do tomorrows list again, I've got until the 8th to get through finishing the whole house so I can crack on with studying without needing to do anything but keep on top of cleaning, tidying and laundry xx

I may risk the Bull Ring on either Wednesday or Thursday to see if anything takes my fancy in the sales.:D Apart from that, first batch of laundry drying and second batch sorted for tomorrow (small flat, no tumble dryer, if not careful, whole place looks like Widow Twankey's on an off day)

Visitors have left: they were generally well behaved so I didn't need the gaffa tape during Doctor Who to shut them up. Antibiotics finished yesterday and lurgy tamed so will be able to drink again. If I want to:cool:

Heavens, is that the time? I've been out of bed for a whole 12 hours and I'm really quite tired. That'll be the dodgy thyroid then :rotfl:

Hi All,

Had a wonderful day with DH, DSs, DD and My Dad,

Now DW on, HHI just finished.

Hugs, spoons and sticks to those in need.

Regards, Pud

Evening all just thought I'd pop in before bed. Have FiL, SiL and niece staying and what with DH decorating our bedroom it is a bit chaotic here.

Transferred some money to pay bills and DH has put the DW on.

It is pouring with rain here so hope it doesn't turn to snow overnight as I really want to pop to JL tomorrow to have a look at the sale.

Greenbee calming vibes for Wednesday

Toots if keeping up with the newbies gets to be too much over the next few weeks when we'll get our annual influx then please give me a shout if you need extra help (I know you have asbo and substitoots but just in case they are not about)

Right off to bed now, sleep tight and healing vibes for all in need x

Havent' eaten properly and decided to finish the bottle of (not very nice) wine. Should have stayed sober and had a nice relaxing bath, but I think I'm probably getting stressed about wednesday's hospital appointment. Meant to clean the bedroom but didn't; meant to do some cooking but didn't. Still, there is always tomorrow

I thought that was my line! Still, happy to let anyone borrow it, as it makes me feel slightly better when i use it myself. Sending positive vibes for Wednesday.

Saturday was ok here. Yesterday was DH's birthday (Sorry I missed yours, pigpen - belated best wishes!) and we went out in the evening. Ikea today with DH and DS2 (DS1 braved M'hell :eek:).
Tomorrow we're off to Casvegas with DH's friend from across the road. Must update my budget in the morning (I've just spent ages catching up with current and last fred) so I know if I have any money to spend.
I suggested to DH that we should put time and effort into the house, as we're both off together for longer than a day (he's not back at work until Wednesday), but it fell on deaf ears.
I've made turkey soup, froze some of it and we decluttered the rest for tea today. Gammon and turkey sliced/diced and frozen, too. I may actually have to cook a meal tomorrow.
We're not out until 11am at the latest, so time to fit in some dailies in the morning. I also need to get more sleep so I can start on school work, as there's lots to do. On that note, I best get to bed.

Managed to get a whole line of washing just about dried before the rain started. [/

I am jealous dont think i have manged one since the clocks went back!!!! I miss the smell of washing dried outside never mind it will soon be spring..

Not going to manage a list tomorrow we are meeting up with friends in edinburgh hoping to do the German market and ice skating but it will depend on the weather we are booked in for Dinner early if the weather isnt kind.

Have had friends round today who had twins in the summer and i mangaged cuddles with both of them - I do like babies when you can hand them back!!!

Bed is calling as tempting as the cricket is I am not staying up too late (may manage up until lunch!)

Not tired, had a snooze after shopping & have had chocolate = hyper & headache, pah!

Just remembered Mum is staying Wednesday :eek: must sort bathroom tomorrow & laundry mountain

Can I also declare I kept to my resolution of paying nothing 'extra' to anyone in 2011, no late payment fees, interest on things bought, excess charges for paying by card etc yay!!!!!
