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.;)

Right, I really must go in search of some spoons and GUAG.:D

LW 601 was what I read too. Only piggers could accumulate that much.

Oz says s*d off BD. I send spoons.

Great to hear about the triumph. It is often the small things that mean most. For me - not spending the day in front of the TV. But actually reading a vaguely intellectual book (ie not M&B which is by BD choice)

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:(

Even the cats know in this house that the day doesn't start until the DW is emptied

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT RIGHT NOW MY HOUSE IS SO-O-O-O TIDY.
It will stay that way until approximately 7:30 this evening.

Guess the valli kids are due back then! Hope they have had a fab time.

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.

Same here. DD gone up by £20 a month - we owe about £300 too.


Shopping trip wasn't too successful but never mind. Going to do an hour in the garden now to get the back garden jobs finished for now.

I'm going to do another HHC at 4.10 if anyone wants to join me?

dancemum

hollyh I missed your HHC so I'm off on one now


Dusty don't forget to collect DS2 4.45

We are back from zoo and managed to buy a stay play & explore ticket which allows us to go to 2 more attractions before end of December. It was £60 and normal zoo family ticket was £44 so I feel we have better value. Off to transport boys to swimming lessons soon.

Dailies and wm done

hex2

Dancemum - you must live close to me then! Is Twinlakes included this year?

I am off for the next week which is great. On a declutter and tidy mission as usual.

OH has been sanding, plastering and painting the new bathroom so a deep clean will be required.
