    Thanks all.. I am rather pleased.. however there is always something so every penny I have is now being thrown into making the house habitable and warmer.. hopefully what I spend in maing it leakfree and draughtfree will be scraped back with lower energy bills. There is so much to do!!

    Baby decided 7:45 was late enough to be sleeping has had 2 boobs and a poo and is now in her jumperoo filling her clean nappy and demanding breakfast.. no wonder she is so blooming huge.. she has to be to fit her stomach in!!!

    I got her up leaving grumpy gills in bed.. he has been coming to bed stupidly late and being an @r$e during the day... so he can stay up there today and Freja and i will have some peace!

    Todays lists..

    Strip, wash and replace all the childrens bedding. This will be interesting due to rain!
    Fill a wheelie bin.. there seems to be far too much tat accuulating around the house so I'll deal with that
    DW x2 or 3
    I am quite tempted to throw a ginger cake in..but that might not get done as no chillies here to eat it.
    OH can bring Henry down
    Downstairs vacc'd through
    HHC in my room.. it is a pit!
    Get out tape measure and measure up carpet/heating for back room, curtain pole for DD2's room and for front room.
    Drag out sewing machine for DD2's curtains
    Take Jacob for shoes and get CP for DD2's room

    Think tha'll be me dead/collapsed/asleep in my dinner.

    OH can do dinner tonight.. or get his furry self to takeaway, I'm not doing it!

    Cuppa and change stinky to start with and then she can have her breakfast!

    Morning all

    Going to be a busy day, as you know Miss A's bedroom is going to be updated, someone on our local freecycle asked for a cabinbed (so no need for me to advertise it) so this morning we are clearing Miss A's of toys, books etc! Got some stacking boxes from Mr M's.

    First day of no swimming and we are going to be non stop!

    Not 100% debt free yet.. still go the loan and mortgage.. but I WILL be rid of those.. but I know what you mean.. your day will come .. and others will envy you :D

    You know.. I REALLY don't think I would ever have got rid of it all had KH not left.. it kind of gave me new focus to dispose of it.. so I am in a better position financially when I do end up paying the full mortgage payments out of my pittance income... just need to persuade Freja to grow slower!
