    ok.. list done.. she is dumped in the jumperoo.. ratbagging baby.. knew I shouldn't have let her have that nap this afternoon.. she will now be coming to bed with me shortly and OH will have to move her when he comes up.

    Whose turn is it to make a cuppa??

    Imps all but 1 back to school so we are sorted for that, apart from I didn't wash Quaverface's coat today but I can do it at the weekend it will no doubt have been filthy again by then anyway.. she is such a grot.. I am dreading next year when she fits in the pale pink coat instead of the red one she has now!

    Best go get Baby's washing in.. and the DW needs loading.. as usual.. and I need a cuppa.. and I did want to get the next 6 rows of knitting done so I am on even rows of 10 (10 row pattern and 217 stitches.. it is a killer! Takes about 10 minutes to do a row!!) I need to have a shower and wash my fur too.. *sigh* I need a few hours in the day and a few more days off school runs!

    Debt is going to be getting a serious dealing with this year.. I aim to have the mini-bits paid off this month (like the £50 on Redoute and £75 on Vertbaudet for example..) then I am hacking chunks off the Next account (£700 on there at the moment but the girls are sorted for next winter!)

    Helloooooo a busy day that turned out to be, unsociable me was bashed into submission with family visits then just as I said I don't see Matthew's mum much they arrived for 3 hours.....wow he's chaos! Nearly broken my toe as I brought him a pile of toys to play with (then he got obsessed with the doodle pad app) and when he went I found 3 cars with my feet. Decluttered a toy plane to his house that he really liked and I got a 'bye, love you' on his way out :) he's saying a few words more now but usually upon being prompted, that one and the kiss n cuddle before was not which made it very special.

    Anyway DS1 has had a good day, he was being awfully obnoxious this morning and was sharply informed birthday or not you can't be a ratbag. Presents decluttered to play room which needs tidying some what after we've arranged the furniture.

    Needless to say we accommodated the visitors because it is tidy and clean downstairs :) I'll update my list tomorrow as I am too tired after dragging school kits together/opticians dash/shoes buying dash but I did get flights booked (paid on interest free CC) and car hire which we've opted to pay on arrival so no interest charges.... We might even get a more favourable exchange rate by then? Here's hoping

    Hope you are all well and big congratulations to AJ x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Don't see why not...but then again, what would I know? :p
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
