    Am going to crack on with SIL's pressie...recipes here I come _pale_ I have made a decision as well... I'm keeping this copy of notebook info and will add to it and then next time I do one I can just hit "Print" ;):rotfl:

  • Morning all; Evening Denise! Sorry this is a bit late - last day at w*** yesterday (for 2 weeks), so no time!

    In the master bedroom, clear out your jewellry box. Ditch anything you haven't worn for a year, anything broken.

    Do the same with accessories; belts, scarves, etc.

    I have to finish SIL's pressie today, shes coming to collect DD for a sleepover and since she's arriving first thing in the morning I've got to get the pressies done and hidden... :eek: Just printing out recipes and then I need to try and fashion together some information from organizedhome/organizedchristmas which are both shouting at me that I am trying to access the site with an invalid IP :mad: Already spoken to the owner and she said that it's the filter on the servers so there is only so much she can do :mad: Not her fault, it's whatever idiot who uses our IP who have been banned :mad: Oh well, good job I know the site inside out and back to front :rotfl:

    Must finish brekkie... :wave:

    LOL - I was just thinking I'd like a translation too, Nicki!

    Today:
    [STRIKE]Bake muffins - DONE
    DS Rickis 18th birthday . . .
    Pressie time - DONE
    Clean out kitty litter tray and put some new stuff in (hope you're not eating while you're reading this . . .)

    All in all, a good day!

    Tomorrow:

    Laundry on clothesline :j - yes, finally putting clothes on mine , no more trips to MILs;
    Get something out for dinner;
    Follow kitties around first thing in morning to make sure they do the business in their litter tray and nowhere else;
    Last day of work;
    Focus on master bedroom;
    Get boys to do same jobs in their rooms;
    Dinner;
    I need to get one last little pressie for one of the boys, and something small for my sister.

    I think I can manage most of that tomorrow. At least there will be no birthdays!

    DD1 still fast asleep - hoping it's a sign her body is finally fighting off this bug. Did better than I thought I would yesterday - our bedroom & DD2's bedroom sorted, loads of washing done but that means loads of ironing to do!:eek:

    so for today:-
    dw
    kitchen sides
    at least 2 loads washing washed
    ironing
    pay people!
    and hopefully living room & spare room

    Nicki - if you have no joy with organizedhome/organizedchristmas let me know what info you need and I'll cut & paste it and PM it to you.

    right off to tackle the debris that is my home!:o

    Thanks for the offer.. I actually want to have a read through some of the threads and print off some of the forms. OH has promised ( :rolleyes: ) that I can access his works server and get on them that way when he gets in...but he HAS to stand over me while I'm on them incase I cause the network to crash. Nice to know he has such trust and faith in me :rotfl:

    Besides which I'm a moderator over there so I should really check in with the rest of them!
