Hello everyone,

I've spent the morning gutting the little ones bedroom. This was being done because the non recycling rubbish is supposed to be collected tomorrow. I am now hopping mad because they came today instead - it's not what is printed on the sheet from the council and I haven't put my bins out (nor have 75% of the other neighbours). 2 weeks until the next collection and my bins are full:mad: I'm going to give the council a few choice words.

I've used Martins tips email to bag 12 bottes of wine in the Mr T wine sale and got 500 clubcard points all for the princely sum of #44

Got my Electric & gas bills today - gas are increasing the monthly DD payments because we owe #235 but perversely the Electric is staying the same and we owe #285.

DH is away. DS1 is feeling sorry for himself in the LR.


Vanilla I've read the thread and wanted to send you getting yourself and the kids sorted vibes.

Valli - I trust the vallikids are home and the house is now becoming less than immaculate. Have the found the egg? I can totally understand your reasons for hiding it (nom, nom)

Sockdrawer and Natty - hope your migranes stay away.

AJ - like Nixie said, try M&S. Lots of positive reviews from people who have bought bridesmaid dresses.

Hope everyone has a lovely day.

I am committing to try and do at LEAST one WM when i get in from work today. two if i am feeling ambitious. this as well as cooking a meal for dinner and ensuring my kitchen and lounge stays tidy.

I will also try and sort the laundry baskets that are piled high in my study and empty those. but thats only if i feel like it. :P

i have been to town and bought DS's blazer, ordered contact lenses & bought cleaning stuff, bin bags, etc from Wilko's. i was fairly good - although I did buy some silicone cupcake cases

Since getting back i have put washing on the line, reloaded WM, picked up poo from the garden, and done some of the list. Having a breather before the school run (peace & quiet shattered!). i may take the boys to the park after school, to burn off some energy

I'm glad it's not just me that hides the ironing mountain..lol. I have mine in a 60l purple plastic storage box in a corner in the living room, covered with a lovely cloth and a big cushion on top of it for my little Amycat to sleep on when she fills like it.

I need new specs.... I first of all read this as six hundred and one purple plastic storage boxes.:rotfl:Then I thought, no-one could have that large an ironing mountain!

I need a serious boot up the bum today; Mr LW's back at the office after a total of 5 days at home (wfh yesterday) and BD is scratching at the door trying to fill the empty gap.

I did have a wee triumph this morning though - cba to type it out again, so here's where I posted on the Disability & Dosh board.;)
