    *Flakes out on sofa*

    Mr LW is wfh today. So.... Listy is all done EXCEPT for dusting the lounge/electricals, which is simply not possible with him working in here.*rolleyes*

    Both today's Froggies are already eaten,;) and I got rid of another Tadpole from the Giant Clothes Frog - all my shoes have been tried on, the rack has been gleamed up, and one pair of too-tight sandals put in the RSPCA box.:o

    Lasagne has been made, half of it eaten :drool:(dins is at 12:00 when he's wfh) and the rest will be for tomorrow night's dins, as he'll be home late.

    I'm quite frazzled today, too; we had "A" round last night for cider'n'chat (poor beggar is still waiting for his Decree Absolute). I seem to be getting a lot worse at coping with Other People, because I'm really getting a bad dose of fallout, iyswim, in that I keep getting fits of the jitters, literally physically shaking. :(

    Must go and do my Brain Training now, as I won't get chance later; then it'll be time to throw on some warpaint and head out to do errands in town. Deep joy!!:cool:

    6 month DS still wakes at night and it's caught up with me today.

    I've eaten the two frogs, but am unlikely to do much else off the list for today.

    Inspired by this thread, have bribed 5 yr old daughter into helping me gut her bedroom for the first time since she moved in last October. Needs hoover and dust now and she's willing to get rid of quite a lot of stuff. :T

    Also, DD's bedding washed, again, and her lunch bags are in the washer (she chucks them around at school and they get filthy)

    Going to try and move off my backside and at least dust as it well overdue.

    So, 2 days of flying, 3 lists complete. Fantastic! DD1's friend came round earlier, she walked in and said "WOW, it looks really nice in here. It's clean" :o:D:o

    I've worked so hard I'm sweating, and my ears are buzzing!

    How's everyone today?

    Afternoon all :)
    Oh I got up so late today that I'm not even going to tell you what time - I'm so ashamed :embarasse
    Haven't done anything except sit here for a good couple of hours filling out a job application form - really want this job!
    Going to shift my booty now because I have my nieces staying tonight and need to do a very quick tidy, shower my pooches who are smelling and then shower me because I smell worse,lol!
    Catch you later or maybe tomorrow - think I might be a bit too busy this afternoon!
    Hugs everyone,
    Jenny x
    Everything happens for a reason :)

    Must be lovely to get some feedback.

    OH is back at work, so we have been to Mr T, McDs and then swimming for hours. Considering swimming is on the list of things I am allowed to do I really rather hurt :(

    Just having a cup of tea and waiting for the throbbing to stop then I can crack on with something. Boys are watching a film because they are shattered - I made them swim ten widths before we left on top of a couple of hours messing about :p

    HHC at 3.30 anyone?

    woo another thing to cross off my list :)

    carpet has been bought for spare room and babys room, £400 for both rooms from carpet right. now i dont know if we got a good deal on the carpet or what as ive never had to buy carpet before, but for carpet, underlay and fitting for £401 i should be happy with that if it lasts 3/4 years right? or should it be lasting longer just so i know roughly when to expect to replace it.

    going to do some list work in our bedroom as OH is playing COD and annoying me with it :p
