Woke up this am with a big BD but DH has been so sweet and loving I'm feeling much better now.
Beds all made, washing all put up to dry and got another load of DH's work trousers doing now. Not sure what we're having to eat today but will cross that bridge when I come to it!Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0 -
All rads covered with wet washing plus the clothes horses. Boys bedding next as DS2 sneaked a cream egg to bed and nibbled abit and then slept on top of it, so cream all over bed. :rotfl:
Lunch made and eaten, Rhys now away for a snooze and 2 kids tiding their rooms (punishment for being pains).;)
Bathroom to be done next as it's piggen.
DS1 can clear up Rhys's toys in the livingroom and then i can hoover in there after.
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 :j0 -

Jinky67 fantastic news about your job. Good luck for Monday.
I am going to try and declutter 30 things this weekend - and I don't just mean taking the bottles & jars to the bottle bank, that will just count as 1 declutter thing.

Wish me more power to my elbows:) I need determination and to stop being lazy!
Cheers m'dears, Silver

Good afternoon everyone
SeafaresCongratulations about the house and have a lovely day today.
Cyclingyorkie I hope the bus ride goes ok.
Not much done here this morning other than clean and deodorize the rug and carpet as Dogbot had an accident in his sleep last night. Unfortunately the rug was beyond rescuing but fingers crossed the carpet seems to be ok.
OH has now taken himself off to Wales to go mountain biking and will return tired, cold and hunger this evening but until that time I will sit here worrying as he has gone off on his own
:doh: "Let your boat of life be light, pack only what you need- A homely home and simple pleasures,one or two friends worth the name, someone to love and someone who loves you, a cat, a dog, a pipe or two enough to eat, enough to wear and a little more than enough to drink, as thirst is a dangerous thing" Jerome k.

Just had a funny 5 minutes - was in my bedroom and looked at my bottom shelf with the big cardboard box full up of shoes. I tipped the box out and sorted through the shoes; I'm keeping some of them but am getting rid of about 7 pairs for the charity shop (don't like/don't fit me), found 2 pairs of DH's shoes which I've given to him. I've got rid of the box and laid the shoes out on the shelf so I can see just what I've got and it looks much better.
*off for a lie down whilst DD fans my fevered brow*!!
Think we're off for a walk later; I need some exercise as have been hibernating all week
