    Evening!

    Well i failed to do any of our room, instead, ended up going grocery shopping urghhh

    then attempt to find a part for a boiler, open a trade account, sort out OH's new card. Fix said boiler at MIL's then rush back home for kids.While home, make bread, sort out furballs, make dinns. time just seemed to disappear.

    So i'll start our room tonight and wash the bedding tomorrow. Fingers crossed they'll dry by tomorrow night.

    Right i'm going to get stuck in before i get distracted again.:o

    He however is really chuffed as he has been signed off school until after the easter hols so no doubt I wont get too much done as I will be spending time running around playing nursemaid:(

    Still at least he is ok even if a bit bashed up:) xx

    Mine has a concussion, broken nose and a black eye after getting in a brawl in a gay bar last night... apparently I am not allowed to tell anyone he was beaten up in a gay bar.. the guy took a beating off the bouncers by all accounts.

    I'm new to this whole thing...I just kinda stumbled upon it last night when browsing the OS forum, and being the kind of person who loves and thrives on routine (just like my 6 month old baby!:rotfl:), this got me really excited. If i don't have some kind of plan or routine to follow, i find that days fly by without achieving much, so this is perfect! Only managed to do level one today, with having to take the baby to the doctors and spending 4 hours at my mum's, but just clearing the bedroom floor of all it's clutter and putting it all away felt great :D

    Yipee! Can't believe it - I expected that since I was working and kids were off school that house would be a tip this evening. Fortunately DH had arrived home first and had cracked the whip. Result all bedrooms cleaned, landing, toilet and bathroom. Bad news - washing basket is full again!!!!
