    Morning early birds!

    Not much chance of airing the duvet. It's pouring in Essex.

    DD2 is the only one up with me. I'm going to feed her then try to get in HHI before the others surface.

    I need to be in work by 9 so I'll get on with it...

    I'm still here :)
    Just a bit like a zombie this week. :(
    I feel like when you have a stinky cold before you take the tablets - but I'm all dosed up, so I'd hate to think what I'd be like if I wasnt dosed :(
    I actually SLEPT last night :D YAY :) but I've still got huge amounts of snot :rotfl: and pulled muscles in my ribs, stomach, shoulders and neck - it's one heck of a barking cough.

    Managed to film our two big fluffy butts singing at each other, will try to put on facebook later :D (Cat- it's worth a watch, I got Missy howling in the foreground and Shady sqeaking at her - with his STOLEN loaf of bread.. cheeky little monkey he is)

    I've had 2 days of failed dinners :( Yesterday I attempted to make pasta which not only failed but took my sieve with it! :eek: monday I tried to make fajitas (I know, how could I mess that up!) ended up at Mr A for pizza.
    Must do better tonight. I'm blaming the cold ;)

    I did clear up the kitchen yesterday but after me disaster it doesnt look like I've touched it. So may have to re-do yesterdays list.
    At lease the main bedroom isnt too bad

    Morning all, kids up and fed they just need to get ready now. So plan is kids dropped off at school then back home for awhile, tip run and kwik-fit. Need to find out if DD has art class today, if not then the hall can get done. :)

    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.

    Only managed to do level 1 all week so far, but am stilll wondering how on earth I managed to collect a full bin bag of rubbish from the bathroom on Monday.
    Also managed to wash the duvets before we go away for a few days (so they can dry while we are away). Spring will be here soon I hope!
    Gonna go back now and do level 2 & 3 on the kitchen.

    This is working for me as I'm getting something done, no matter how small. I hope I can maintain the routine next week as DS is home full time, normally I blitz after half term. So shocked as he's tidied up his lego without prompting - keep checking out the window for the flying pigs!

    Morning everyone,
    Master bedroom eh?
    OK will spend a few HHs in there but I'm not sure we'll notice - it is soooo bad.
    Might get a dump run with paper, card and textile recycling and then could possibly see the floor and possibly do some vacuuming in there shhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
    Wish me luck, I need it!!!
    Hugs to those who want or need, Silver x
