    I need to declutter some chocolate, maybe some cadburys buttons.:)

    Well I don't do germs.. they are banned.. :p

    New Year, we were supposed to be going off to 'his mothers' but she is playing daft mare so we are staying at home, her loss.. children are at KH's.. but no doubt DD1 will stay here and possibly DD2 as well.. maybe the boys too... They are all refusing to go so I might only be getting rid of 3 lol

    I'm not very good with NY.. I don't go out.. I can't stand drunkards and I loathe all the thinking it is ok to slobber on people you hope never to see again while wishing you were home and on the phone to the people you wish you could see again..

    Morning All

    Toots - are you having trouble sleeping? You're up very late these days.

    Plan for today is more washing and to carry on with DD's bedroom. Well that's my day sorted then. Suppose I ought to get dressed and take Jerry for a walk now as DH isn't feeling very well so I can't see him doing it.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all

    I'm up at a reasonable time for once, but will go to work in a bit. Note to self: must find memory stick before I go, fold and put away towels, write list for DS1, sort ironing for DH and finish loading DW!

    Plan for today:
    do about 3 hours at work
    continue with Mt Washmore
    put clean laundry away (and get DH to do his)
    DS2's room
    DW (looks like it may have recovered)
    corned beef hash/dumplings for tea
    look at budget again (to see if I can manage a costco shop before VAT goes up)

    Off I go then. Hope you all have a pleasant (or at least productive) day. x

    We have 5 hens at present ;) They're highly strung pure bred, though. look lovely, but the first sign of poor weather and they stop laying :rotfl:

    Are yours cross breed? They tend to be much more reliable layers.

    Yes, they're hybrids - this sort hy-line brown and one is singing loudly at the moment - I suspect that's another egg on its way!

    Well, need to get my butt into gear and sort the place out and prep some food ready for family visiting later

    Look, I'm up 2 hours earlier than I have been of late! I've got into such a bad habit of going to bed late and then sleeping late in the morning so in bed much earlier last night.

    Helen Jelly, glad your dad had the op but bad luck they can't remove it - I'm sure the stent will help.

    Triker, hope you feel better soon, take it steady.

    Pigpen, I've been through the whole clingy baby phase too but it was just a phase and did pass - so hard though isn't it and I'd even end up taking DD or DS up with me when I went for a wee as couldn't bear all the screaming. Little monkey. I think I used a baby carrier and just strapped DS to my front and tried to get on with stuff but it wasn't easy.

    Juliejim, good luck with DD's bedroom! My SIL said she used to give 50p to her son each time he filled a black bag of rubbish and I'm thinking that may be worth a go with my DD.

    Maxonian, hope work goes OK today and well done with the positive thinking - I could do with some of that around here!


    My plan for today:
    [STRIKE]Breakfast/dress etc[/STRIKE]
    Dailies - [STRIKE]WM/DW/make beds[/STRIKE]/walk Pip/[STRIKE]clean out chooks[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]DH promised to take kids swimming - I don't fancy it but will go too and help dry kids[/STRIKE]
    GP at 3.00
    30 mins CBT
    Turkey soup for tea (DH doing)
    Call Mum

    I've done my list for GP and thanks everyone for all the good wishes. I'll let you know how it goes.
