    good for you lush....well done! Dont worry about reading all the posts, or not posting - we all acknowledge that we'd get much more done if we spent less time reading and posting! And we all dip out from the thread from time to time.... but we always come back - without the muleflinging my house just doesnt look the same :D

    I have cleared out my freezer, but havent scored it off - it needs defrosted. But until i empty it a bit more, there no chance of that happening. I can only fit so much in my little one in the house and there is no where to put all the food from the two freezers in the garage while they defrost... Ive done an up to date inventory though and am going to meal plan using as much as I can from the freezers - even if I can reduce it to one freezer.... I can defrost the other.

    Made chicken cacciatore for dinner this evening and although this was in the oven for over 2hrs , some of the chicken pieces where still raw in the middle, so this was scrapped and OH went the chippy.
    Whilst he was out I S&S'd the kitchen/dinning area an whilst my back was turn the dogbot got a chicken piece out of the bin brought it into the living room, so I've ended up s&S the living rom twice today, GGGGRRRR!!!!!

    Morning all,

    LO is off school today for voting so Im going to take advantage after work and come straight home without collecting him from childcare at 3, as its paid for till 6, and sort out his room and the upstairs.

    Although it would be great if there was some sort of divine intervention which meant I didnt have to go to work today at all... I hate it :( Nothing serious - just some roadworks or something closing all the roads to work...that would be good :D

    So far, child has been decluttered to the shower....

    Best do something constructive

    Sarah - good luck today
    Jjef - Congratulations!!!!

    xx

    Morning all, Rhys has been up and down all night. I think he has a bit of rubbing on his leg from his nappy and thats annoying him. Loads of cream put on last night but he still was up and down all night.

    juliejim hope your ok hon.xxx

    Gonna get master Rhys changed and then the rest up.
    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.
