    First td load finished, second wm load in. Dinner done and i'm waiting on kiddies to finish then i'll get the dw back on again. :D
    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.
    :j :j
  • Wm unloaded and on again, ditto DW. DH is getting baby stuff out of attic. Hoping to get a snooze in this afternoon.
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    DS2's HW and my work - lots of it, so I'd better get moving.

    Lunch and a quick coffee at the moment, then I'll see what's next. Mr A's, looking at the time. ;)

    Just took my tealight holders out of the freezer (trying to get the excess wax off them before putting in new ones) and now I've got freezer burn on my hands :(

    Trying to clear my inbox but there's loads of stuff pending action :(

    I need to write up DDs new reward chart for the coming week and get the freezer sorted to see if I can find something for me to have for tea. Right now I'm taking 5 mins out to have another coffee as my hands are freezing :(

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!
  • Good Afternoon all

    Well I've had a busy day of flying shopping done and will be delivered tomorrow.
    Walls in DD's room wiped down as there has been mold growing on the outside wall for a few week and the landlord says that it will just dry out on its own but it still appears to be spreading.
    Clean windows in DD room and replaced nets
    Cleaned windows in dining room
    S&S Kitchen and bathroom
    Hoover through downstairs DD & DS did their own rooms
    Hung out a load of washing to dry
    Baked some Twinks for when in-laws return with OH from their afternoon out with OH and his LO.

    Ive still got the Ironing to do when load on the line is dry and dinner to sort as well as persuading DS that it is not pancake week.

    sexy sorry to hear about your bad week - hope this week is much better.
    vanilla you said a little while ago there would be problems for Dh ahead and unfortunately you were right - I hope they get him sorted ASAP - at least he is trying to help which must be a bonus and maybe keeping busy will help him too. (((hugs)))

    My final tally for this week is sold 23 out of 29 listed -the person they belong to will be well pleased. all I have to do now is wrap 23 things to post tomorrow:eek:

    have been to church this morning, managed to get a load of washing out when I cam back, have made a pot of soup for next couple of days.

    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
