    I haven't read back on the thread, just whizzing in to say that I am starting flying now with HHI, possibly a bit longer - I will spray the oven beforehand so the cleaner can soak in :o

    I will catch up, I will catch up, I will catch up (but not if I keep writing on here!!!)

    See you in a bit x

    Morning All

    Not usually on here during the day but have taken rest of week off so just seeing what needs doing.

    Hoping for better day as I did weekly shop after work put that away and then did nothing at all except read.

    Better have a coffee before I start on bathroom. WM on and towels on line .

    Dog needs a walk later but going to wait and see if it brightens up first

    love and hugs to all

    Morning lovelies :wave:
    Got 2 sickies at home today but have managed to get DD to school. DS1 and DS2 are both ill :( but it cant be something they have eaten as we all had the same dinner yesterday.. Only tomorrow to go till its half term.

    Ive got work this afternoon so need to get flying if I am to finish the list. Need to go into town and get some more fabric dye but might leave that till weekend now as I really do need to get cracking on mount washmore as its about 4ft high and the kids will need clean clothes to take to their dads on Wednesday.

    Kids will be doing their own bedrooms over the weekend so I dont have to worry about those rooms although I am worried that the washing pile will double in size. My kids just seem to collect every item of clothing they own and send it down for washing regardless of whether its dirty or clean!:mad:

    Hugs, spoons, sticks and healing vibes for anyone who wants 1


    Oh and I won the lottery last night............a tenner!!:j

    Feel like I haven't stopped this morning but not entirely sure what I've done other than sort out the clothes on the airer! Got a couple of loads of washing to do but kind of sick of the sight of clothes/bedclothes littering the house - it's been raining or icy all week :( On a good note though, my parents are storing some of our boxes until we move to give us some more space to pack so...3 car loads went off with my dad yesterday - result!

    Baby off to granny's at 11 for the day so should hopefully be able to get some stuff done!

    Morning everyone, kids now away back to school and there all complaining of sore legs from yesterday, i'm just knackered.:rotfl:

    Have loads to get done today, wm will be on flat out, dw the same and i need to speak to the doctor about Rhys. Hoping to get more painting done today and then loads of clubs tonight, roll on the weekend. :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.
