    I was in the process of checking other posts - have concluded that the poster is getting his/her post count up in order to be alllowed to post links...so a pre-emptive stirke there Piggers!

    must go and do jobs..

    They seem to have some strange chinese/japanese web site, so I would say spam in the making.

    Does anyone else start a small job that should take a few minutes and it goes pear shaped, and an hour later you wonder why??

    Anyway

    Kitchen OK

    So now to take the Dyson for a walk, I will see how far I can get, aiming for all downstairs where the floor is visible, stairs and landing.
    Starting now..................

    Afternoon all, not caught up yet.

    Seems like it's another week of mostly doing the right things but not necessarily in the right order.

    I've got some washing out on the line. I've cleaned the bathroom and toilet. S&Sd the kitchen, living room. Cut and edged back lawn. Went to tip with DD2 and got rid of the last of the rubbish, came back and had a good sweep up. Looks much better now. When DD2 gets back from her haircut she's going to help me move pots round in the garden so they're not all jammed on one side.

    OK, some catching up now. Hope everyone's OK.

    Zero flying achieved so far, got some urgent calls to do once the boy is down for a nap, then I'll get tea sorted and crack on.

    Bit annoyed at DH who got up early with dd1, but neglected to even empty the dw, then got annoyed at me for not making his sarnies quick enough! If the dw isn't emptied first thing it really throws me now - just makes it hard to clear up brekkie properly so kitchen/diner/living room (our main room) stays messy till past lunchtime:(

    Anyway we've been to soft play this morning and burnt off some of the crazies so hopefully can have a quiet afternoon and potter in the garden a bit too.

    I also desoerately need to write up some notes for an observation I did last night for my coursework as DH is holding me hostage tonight to sorting out finances for some of the charity work I do ..... it seems I have a tax problem........:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Woohoo town run done. Rhys has no problems with his eyes but they'll see him in a year because of DS2's problems. Glasses all left in for repair and i finally lifted mine. :D Plus the bank sorted me out with the online banking and hubby, so happy days here.

    Rhys now done for a snooze, everyone's been fed and then we're heading to the shopping center. I might even push the boat out and get the bbq gas. :rotfl:

    Hubby now seems to think it's his tablets that make him not give a hoot, i just think it's an excuse. So my plan of action is me and the kids. I'll be putting my energy into doing things i enjoy such as the garden and he can catch up when he's ready. I'm not wasting anymore energy on it. :D

    Right time to get ready for the shopping center....
    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 :j
