    *Staggers in, flops on sofa*

    I am so exhausted, I could cry. Well I could if I had the energy.:o

    Been scratting about to get the rest of this week's tasks finished.
    Good news is.... it's all done!!:D
    Monday ~ Kitchen & Dining area
    Level Three
    Clean out the cupboard with the pet food/miscellaneous items! Don't have a petfood cupboard, so did the tea cupboard (yes, we have a whole cupboard dedicated to beverages!):p
    Extras

    1. Wash small appliances and replace Done


    Tuesday ~ Living room, reception rooms and hallway
    Level Three
    Polish glass and metals and mantel Done all I can manage without assistance



    Wednesday ~ Master bedroom

    Extras

    1. Clear out a cupboard.. any cupboard.. or a very full drawer I guess Done
    Thursday ~ Bathroom, WC and Study
    ALL DONE on Thursday


    Friday ~ Everything else!
    Level One
    Spend half an hour pampering yourself.. Jo.. nails.. they look appalling! *Sigh* I always struggle with this – I'm not a “pamper” sort of person. Can I count playing with Dilly Doglet for half an hour? It's the most fun to be had around here when Mr LW's at work.:o
    Extras
    1. Clean fronts and backs of 2 radiators Done
    2. Binbag dance Done
    3. HHI N/A; HHYoga instead
    Ive also got reversed sleep patterns at the minute, which means Im up all night and sleeping late in the day.
    I'm like this, too; have you managed to get any medical bods to take it seriously? All I get is "well go to bed half an hour earlier". Like that's going to help.... just gives me an extra half hour to lie there staring at the ceiling.:mad:

    I hope Lady L got on OK today - sorry I wasn't around earlier to add good luck vibes. I'd decided, as I already had today's list, to crack on beforeturning on the 'puter.

    Anyways, gotta go now; Mr LW's called to say he's on the way home, and I have to prepare Quorn fillets in white wine sauce for dins.;)
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    Rushes in..... Hello everyone! Such a busy day. DD2 is 5 today - I can't believe my baby is 5. My broodiness is out of control but it is out of my hands now.

    DH took the day off and he is off Monday and Tuesday (Tuesday is his birthday). I have taken DH shopping and bought him a new outfit for his birthday. We had a nice lunch together in Pret and spent 3 lovely hours together without children which is quiet exceptional for us!

    24 hours before the 50th Party rsvp's are starting to come in. 40 invites sent 12 RSVP's received. The pictures of the party will be on FB when I get my act together.

    I've cleared mount ironmore this afternoon. I have the school uniforms in the WM and I think I am sorted for Monday morning back to school. I think I will have a sore head on Sunday so didn't want to leave myself with anything to do.

    I doubt I'll post tomorrow or Sunday so I want to wish everyone a lovely weekend and lots of bids on Ebay!

    ooo I'm SO cross...:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    tomorrow, at 9:15 I have the mobile tyre fitter coming. So I've been across the road to ask the lorry driver who parks his firm's lorry across the road from my house ALL WEEKEND EVERY WEEKEND if he would please move it so the tyre man can park across from mine. Well he's out all morning and no he won't. Even though he knows why I want the space and even though he knows the tyre fitter WILL want to park near my car (compressor etc)

    This parking here has been going on for YEARS (why he can't drive to work in his car and pick up his lorry from the depot (and yes he has a depot) I don't know. The depot is under 2 miles away.

    There have been LOADS of complaints about this lorry but it's UNDER the size so it's allowed (I checked about 3 years ago so have not involved myself in the petty behaviour that other neighbours have indulged in over this commercial vehicle on a residential street)

    But for ONCE why could he not have done me a favour - just once?
