The house is looking great with the little steps i've already done I'll add what I havent finished onto tomorrows, DD went to bed at 8 but DH & DS has just gone to bed now DH is up at 4:30am for work so I don't think i'll be hoovering now. Going to watch BGT results and then do a HHC to try and get threw the last few bits I can for today then settle down and watch yesterday Eastenders on Iplayer.
I would be intereted to know how you roof goes Pigpen 2 weeks ago 2 tiles fell off our roof and smashed one of the plains in our kitchen window so one is now single glazed only. Were off to France in 10 days so don't really have the money or time to sort this now kind of scared what sort of quotes were going to get. also 5 years ago we had a big job done on the roof and it literally lasted 1 year we had to get it done again con arsits luckely that time we were able to claim on our insurance so were not out of pocket.0 -
Evening!
I have bought all the food for the [STRIKE]brats[/STRIKE] darling children and don't think I have had so much junk in the place for years. There will be lots and lots of cooking going on tomorrow evening.
Came back from the market and Minion had made an effort to clean her room, but I still ended up in there for two hours, directing operations. It looks pretty good now, though.
So:
Early up tomorrow morning to get Minion to the hospital cardiac unit for her ECG.
Then back home to have some food (she won't eat beforehand, no way) and buy some sweets in the big bags that they sell at the cinema for megapounds :whistle:
One child is going to be dropped off at 11.50am and we will then get to the cinema for 12.15pm.
All have been briefed that we will wait outside until 12.30, then get them into the cinema and I dash home to get some more stuff done/buy some balloons & assorted other cpra and have my bass lesson, before getting back to them for the end of the movie and various parents collecting them.
One extra girl here until later, then tons of cooking and some last minute cleaning.
All planned: what could possibly go wrong? :cool:I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -
I have just got out my oven's instruction manual and have discovered it has stayclean surfaces. I am not allowed to use aerosol or clean it manually.0

Oh no, what a disaster for you!
Please, let me help.
You can come round mine and clean my oven every week instead....I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -

Hope Toots is ok.0 -

Hi all. I'm new here, signed up about ten minutes ago actually! This is going to be a God-send for me, as at the moment I seem so unorganised. I have an incredibly demanding toddler plus a lot of pets and I seem to spend my days repeatedly doing the same things, that you can't tell have been done within an hour! I have drawers full of junk, corners full of clutter and a spare room full of, well, everything!
I've sorted out my daily minimum of what must be done and pinned it up on the fridge, but what is the frog list? I had a look but can't find what it is?
Anyway, I look forwards to getting organised with you all!0
