    Well.... roofy guy has turned up finally... so much for half 8 .. but at least he is here.. maybe works on my mothers time.. or wanted to make sure I was out of bed!! lol.

    Good luck !

    Sorting last ebay parcel to fling

    Washing ready to go out on the line when I glugged my cuppa..

    waiting for binmen to empty the bins so the boys can go refill one of them :D They have the odd use.

    My throat is so incredibly sore today :( I could cry.. strepsils aren't touching it as usual.. ooh... I wonder if I have any of the boots ones left.. they are better... I'll go rummage when Squeak gets up. She had me up about 4 times last night so I have had possibly 3 or 4 hours sleep..

    Maybe docs for this, something vicious doing the rounds had DD1, 2 and now hubby is a right state with it although hubbys is his ear canal and throat area, girls was throat.

    Sounds like we will have a good day.. the 3 small pinks have been told off about 100 times in the last 45 minutes.. I see smacked bottoms ahead for today.


    Forgot to add, we have date of DD2 op, start of school hols so I can get planning.

    Parcelled a parcel up for short bird

    Woo Hoo!:A

    Well, I've cleared everything out of one cupboard (Huge frog, there) washed the Dyson and left it to dry, recycled 4 bags of clothing, bags and shoes and excavated the contents ofa few plastic boxes. (Several tadpoles, then!)

    No, not this morning... you would see flying pigs over the whole of the UK if that were the case:D I'm getting close to the Big Wardrobe Clearout. In common with my former colleagues, I've put a load of work clothes in the charity/recycling bin - only 2 1/2 years after we were made redundant. So there's a couple of tadpoles! I shredded half a folder of stuff from work on Saturday: I don't think I'll need time sheets from 2005. (And have stifled the voice that says "oh yes you will!)

    I'm having another sort out this week for a book and record fair and intend to get some ebay up on Saturday (and maybe late Sunday) and am packing for 5 days away Up North.

    Interestingly enough, I have discovered that 3 or 4 records I swore I wouldn't part with ever can be sold this weekend even if it is to a record dealer.
    Have a good day, all!

    how did you get on Juliejim?

    I decluttered hubby to work having ironed his shirt and made his sarnies:p, s&s the kitchen, swept, fed the kids, folded some washing and got some nappies fluttering on the stand (my line is temporarily out of action awaiting relocation) Dealt with a pooey boy and got him dressed

    Got loads of phonecalls and horrible big venomous toads to do today - not sure I'm going to make much headway on the list, but will do what I can.

    Now going to dress the other naked child and get myself out of jamas

    Morning lovelies! :wave:

    Had a bit of a clear out and sweep of the outside utility room last night, not sure what came over me but I grabbed it and ran with it, MUCH better in there now. Desperately need to do a skip run and sort out the normal shed. I also gutted the LR and had a fling, also in the kitchen. :T

    Got work today 11.00-5pm 2 houses back to back but hoping to still have some energy left to do some stuff round here when I get in.

    Teenies been at his mates since Sunday avo and boy the difference in this house, It's quiete and I still have pop/food left :D and there's very little washing. Love him to bits but can't wait till he moves out :D

    Been to the shop, made some brekkie and am just about to wake 2 pre-teens from their sitting room slumber, littley had a sleep-over last night and they took over the LR. Waiting excitedly for 2 maps of America arriving today-hopefully, tis the little things :j:cool::D

    Ciao for now ladies! xx

    Woooooo! for the roofer piggers :j
