    Oh this is painful. HHC in half time got postponed due to phone calls discussing the match. Fingers, toes and everything else crossed. As DH on call all weekend, don't need to plan dinner. Planning menus for this week. WM/DW need to go on. Dog needs to be decluttered for a walk - really noisy he is today.

    Plans for this afternoon kind of went astray.

    Was going to try to do a couple of HHCs with an HHA somewhere in the middle .............. but was despatched to Mr W's to purchase DIY stuff (and I hate the trolleys there with a passion!)

    Can't complain as my veg patch is being reconstructed - and hopefully dog proofed!!!

    So, I am really and truly concentrating on my HHA, honest Pigpen.

    HHCs have lost out time-wise - need to do an HHI later. Back to the day job tomorrow.

    Miss A that looks very very painful. Ouchy ouch ouch.

    So, I have done a good hours worth of ironing today which in Tag speak equates to 3 piles of 15 items! :o

    Then I nodded off for a bit. Then I went to the shop and then I washed the car and checked oil,water etc.

    Just going to potter as and when this evening if I feel like it. Get up and go has got up and gone somewhere far, far away at the moment! :p

    DH has finished the new log store and it is lovey and I am very happy :j (PenPen and Greenbee will understand this) Mainly constructed from the lid of the old sunken sandpit and the roof tiles from the old strawberry bit. It even has an integral hedgehog house (actually it is a chanel to vent the TD but I'm hoping a Hog takes up residence;))

    XXjoXX I'll see if I can find her post sometime but it was a while ago.

    Bedrooms all done bar DS3 which just needs a quick dust over. Need to get changed in a minute and off to the Kings Speech. Be back later.

    Service was good and kids behaved, there now in the jammy's. :D

    I'm now tired but i'll hold out and go to bed early tonight. MIL is going to take DD's double bed and maybe bedside units. So plan is to get moving with the room change and DD has already been looking at colours and wallpaper. :rotfl:
    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.

    no chance... dressed, hair brushed and fed and kicked out the door.. I occasionally get the WM or TD loaded before we go.
    Don't you have about 300 children though? I am surprised you manage to even do that,:T I only have 2 and find it a struggle! :o:rotfl:

    Thnx hun, I'll try and hunt it out too x


    Basically I was thinking of making my list of dailies which includes things like loading the machine etc, but thought well I could always load it at night to switch on in the morning.
    I just have no organisation skills at all, I just never know where to start and end up wandering aimlessly around :(
    Think I'm just gonna sit down later and list everything, then go from there, I have been writing things in my notebook but it's all been a bit half hearted, I'm fed up of living in a pig stye, if my Mum came here she'd batter me! :eek:

    I'm trying not to do too much at once but have the council man coming on Wednesday!

    I used to do that, tried to have next days clothes ready too, made sure everything was in school/nursery bags the night before as well, and would try and remember to take something out the freezer for dinner as well:o:D
