    There's me thinking i had sunday off!
    Darn it!

    You HAVE got Sunday off.. READ what I wrote!!!!!!!

    I said think of 10 things not DO 10 things.. there is a big difference!!!

    Anyway... 10 things on a list.. not to be done today!! Wombats!
    pigpen I will be away from the pc from 6.15 to 7

    tootsx

    Do you want me to do the Fred now while I am sitting here doing nothing having almost killed myself fitting a webcam to the loo...and passing a MONSTER turd.. I'd have done pics but my phone was downstairs... ok so I have sorted out my chest of drawers, filled a bag for charity shop, filled half a wheelie bin (yes I have 2) found some bras which I am sure will fit DD3 and found next years school clothes and put them in the drawer so my clothes that don't fit at the moment can go in storage.

    Sorted the tiny baby clothes into the empty CoD's, put Squeaks in the other CoD's had OH put his away and he has restacked the boxes of christmas presents.

    I need to vacuum my room before Squeak goes to bed... and the landing can be done too.

    the children should go to their dads more often.. I might have a tidy house just like he has then.. :p

    I am just going to do some practising of word usage.. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO... there.. I CAN say it and not explode.. implode.. or otherwise spontaneously combust..

    piggers :D:D:D:D

    Tea scoffed, just eyeing up the box of jam doughnuts now, think OH is in a huff cos he hasn't replied to my last text, keep it up mate and I'll scoff your doughnut too! Meh!

    Gonna go and sort the kitchen out, I'm flaggin now I have to say but I'll feel better in the morning when, for once, the DW doesn't need loading :j then I'm gonna flick through the 'good stuff' catalogue, and buy 10 pairs of shoes in my head.

    Thanks for the welcomes back :D

    I have a nice clean tidy flat for once (vaguely related to a housefire two weeks ago but I am fine :o) but will start back on the lists - i only have five weeks left here in Paris so if I can keep the place tidy then it won't need another deep clean before i move out :j

    My list of ten things - they aren't all horrible, just things I have been putting off or have time limits

    1. Pay rent and give notice
    2. Send insurance details to landlady
    3. Email bank about closing account here
    4. Sort through magazines - chuck or take home
    5. Ditto beauty products (working 6 months in a magazine beauty dept = not going to boots for the next two years) - give away or take home
    6. Clean jewellery
    7. Reclean smoky clothes (anyone have any useful tips on this?? I have a couple of things that the smell just won't come out of)
    8. Clean shower head and degunk drain (oh the joys of long hair)
    9. Scrub oven
    10. Swap itunes and photos to new laptop

    Love and hugs to everyone

    1. Pot on herbs
    2. [STRIKE]Trim tatty bits of hedge[/STRIKE]Mr LW kindly did this.
    3. Finish trying on clothes (part of Clothes Frog)
    4. Print maps for holiday
    5. Do packing list for holiday
    6. [STRIKE]Make cheese straws (needed for Tuesday evening)[/STRIKE]Also made a nut loaf and a cherry pie
    7. Ring builders about patio (Mr LW to do)
    8. Watch remaining programme on video tape (need tape to re-use next week)
    9. Purchase new washing up bowl
    10. [STRIKE]Tidy up and refill bird feeders; take down fat ball holder as that's not in use currently[/STRIKE]
    Not too bad a start; I need to do Lottie's postcard home soon, as she's being collected at 08:30 in the morning. The deal is that I have to do half the postcard from my and Mr LW's point of view, and half as if Lottie's written it herself! It's the hardest part of the whole dog-sitting lark!:rotfl:

    I have a completely clean, attractive and clutter free house for the first since the boys were born!:T

    I have had another day off work today, and can finally say at 14.03 this afternoon (briefly) the house was clean and all the clutter is gone. It can't last, I am picking the boys up from nursery soon........

    It has taken months of baby steps and some intensive work in the last few weeks but I am so pleased with myself

    Just goes to show it is possible if I get my backside into gear :T

    Boys are 8 and 6.5 now. How time flies!
