    Morning all

    1 lot of ironing done and airing in a sunny window

    I have been to the huge Tesco (which I hate) twice in two days...
    1st day - searching fior swimwear for DD for the US
    2nd day - to take a curtain tieback to choose a shade for my bedroom as I saw some nice ones there the first time!

    I have NO PROBLEMS getting up on days like these - I have also showered and dyed my hair!

    I'm now updating my e bay sales spreadsheet!

    Monday ~ Kitchen/Dining area
    Level Three
    Clean out a cupboard..

    Extras
    1. HHI
    Thursday ~ Bathroom, Study and Stairs!
    Level Three
    Wipe paintwork up the stairs

    Friday ~ Childrens Rooms, Spare rooms Or just neglected spaces!
    Level Two
    Binbag dance

    Just this left to do now - had a long break to catch up with the marathon.

    Stairs paintwork next alongside the outside of some doors up and downstairs

    Then a couple of hours in the garden then a couple of hours reading which will equate to about 4 pages of quite possibly the most difficult subject I have ever come across!

    Thanks Mrs C :D I have decided to go for a very long walk next Friday early early early start too to beat some of the traffic then call in with Easter Eggs for family on the way home

    Feel a bit downhearted a not going but I'll perk up when I'm in the garden sowing some more seeds

    So nexdt week need to try and do a room a night then an hour for reading all after work. Tonight's tea is sausage casserole and I mention it as I can reheat it tomorrow for a quick and easy tea and then ned to keep to this theme for the rest of the week.

    All washing is on the line so had better do a bit of HHI after the paintwork wiping down

    Have a great day everyone and see you all later today

    Our front door has decided not to work anymore and thankfully it has closed and won't open, so thats another job for tomorrow. The fella that did the other door a few years ago said if we rang him instead of the company, then he would do it cheaper. :money:

    Right i best make a start on the boys clothes...
    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.

    Plan for the weekend (not necessarily in that order):
    laundry - just waiting for last few bits from DS2, but doing cleaning cloths at the moment
    DW
    [STRIKE]wake DH[/STRIKE]
    get DS1 up - WIP
    make DS1 tidy space at bottom of loft stairs
    2 HHCs each in bedroom done 1, bathroom done 1, DS2's room done 1, back yard/garden
    school stuff
    HW with DS2
    phone hotel re DH's reunion weekend - need to phone back on Monday
    car stuff (please fling fluffy mule if this is still on the list by teatime) - can't do anything until friend is back on Wednesday
    bake a cake or two
    lunch
    tea
    sort through DS2's clothes to see what he still needs
    find out when friend's son is going back to turkey so I can bake twinks for him to take

    Done 15min or so general S&S downstairs. DS2 dressed and playing out, DH decluttered to the club and I'll give DS1 his last warning now. Going to start school work so I'm not too tired to do it later. ;)

    Morning all

    Not caught up yet, and I didn't put the computer on yesterday but I've just noticed it was Lady L's birthday so I'd like to say I hope it was a lovely day :)

    Got two loads of washing done and dried yesterday and today two more loads out, including my bedding (finally). I've changed from winter to summer duvet so I apologise in advance for the impending cold weather.

    Not much else done because most things are still everywhere. We have put the little bedroom back together and we collected the cats yesterday afternoon. Meg seems blase about it all but Tigger's a bit clingy. He's not half as tough as he likes to think he is!

    Going to try to catch up now.

    2nd 2 loads of washing in
    2 loads on the line
    2 loads brought in and folded.. 4 more to fold from yesterday though so that will take all day
    DW on

    OH outside mincing grass.. I asked him if he wanted me to get DS to do it.. then went outside and got he mower out.. ;)

    DS1 can paint the fence instead then.. I'll call him karate kid instead of Dobby for the day lol

    Squeak is outside in her pushchair watching daddy get himself hot and steamy lol..

    Girls have filled another basket with dirty laundry! :eek: This is the 5th basket in 2 days.. I WILL have their room tidy so I can sort their clothes.

    Found a few bits I might brave ebay to list.. couple of nursing/maternity bras and some monsoon baby clothes.. might as well sell them as Squeak won't be wearing them.. I hate babies in jeans they are so uncomfy. I have 3 binbags of stuff to go on netmums too I think and I have decided to sell the highchair and buy one which we chose rather than make do with the one from my sister.. I don't like it and Squeak hates it and they tray is too far forward and she can't reach food off it.

    I am sorting Tiddles wardrobes later.. she can't close her drawers at the moment and everything she puts on is up her legs and arms.. KH said she has to wear stuff he bought to go to his.. and most of it he got last summer and is cheap crap that has fallen to pieces or is outgrown.. or both..
