    Can't believe it's morning, feel like i could sleep for another few hours. Rhys up at 6 this morning. :mad:

    Sparky is to arrive at some point today, i'm hoping he'll be here for 8.30 but it more than likely will be this evening. Plan now is get dressed and get kids to school. Then get on with the second coat of white. The house needs a real good tidy today and i need to get sorted for tomorrow. Need to be at airport at 6am and i still have all the paperwork to print. :eek:
    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.

    I've done DW, emptying WM now for another load of bathroom bits and nappies, oh the nappies, it never ends! Washed up and washed all the bathroom paraphenalia, bedtime sports sipper for geekling#1. Now to defrag the comp (no twitter for how long?) and put away geeklings clothes. I may be a while!

    Morning

    HOW much can one child qriggle and fidget in bed?! I thought W was wriggly thing but Miss A took it to new levels last night :rotfl:

    I spent 3 days in our bed with DD2 when we had Swine flu! I know exactly what you mean, although DD2 was 15 at the time so larger scale wriggling and duvet pinching IYSWIM!

    Washing on, DD2 up and breakfasted.

    Must fly this morning - DD1 is expecting guests - so hovel must be immaculate!:rotfl::rotfl: Funnily enough it's not ....so it has to be me who picks up everybody else's c***!!!!!!!!:mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Still glad it's bathroom today - ours is too small to swing anything in so won't take long!


    Have been feeling rough for about a week now...run down, no energy, dozing in an afternoon, hint of a sore throat...well this morning I ache all over and my nose is running. Still at least I know why I feel rubbish now!

    DD2 leaves at 8.30 - HHC anyone?

    Tuesday ~ Living room, Hallway, Stairs

    DONE!!!:T

    Wednesday ~ Bathroom and Study/Pc Area

    Level Three
    Wash your bathroom mats


    I'm still amazed at how quickly I can get jobs done if I stick to the list, it's unheard of for me to have cleaned the bathroom and desk before 9 in the morning. Have also done the DW, washing up, cleaned the kitchen (not that it really needed it after Monday but because it took 2 minutes I thought I'd keep on top of it!).

    About to make a start on our bedroom as I'm going to be struggling a bit later in the week as working longer days, and it's only our room that's still letting the house down!
