    cleared and cleaned worktops
    cleaned hob
    put away dancing costumes and shoes
    sorted DVDs into boxes and put in their real home.


    I'm having a wee coffee and nicotine fix then I'll make a start on the livingroom.

    The coffees not doing it for me now, feeling shattered and if I sit here much longer I'll fall asleep.

    forgot to say earlier I have my fingers crossed for your friend Goodintentions

    Morning all

    Really cross with myself as I drank too much wine last night (friend pouring so not sure how much, I thought only 2 and a 1/2 glasses) so feel grim and tired now. Off to have a shower and put neighbours rabbits out.

    Gotbags has lived up to his name most of the week and I have my mother coming over later who will ask why grotbags would not come to her house. This is a difficult one as he just doesn't like going and says it's boring but he doesn't want to hurt her feellings.

    Whether any flying or frogging will be done today is highly doubtful but I will do my dailies!

    Goodintentions, could you try freecycle? If there is anything of potential value put it on ebay (free listing weekend this weekend) or just bang it all on freecycle. :)

    I still haven't made a dent. The weather was so lovely i went for a walk with the kids instead. :) Now DD is sleeping and DS is playing on the floor next to me so i am enjoying a cuppa and a peppermint aero :o lol!

    I will crack on soon. I will.
    Sarah. :p
    DD is 8 years old DS1 is 6 years old
    DS2 is 14 months old

    BLARGH!!!!!!

    I have a cold.. OH has a cold.. Squeak has a cold... I have no sleep..

    Today OH is doing the curtain pole in DD2's room.. and I'm doing her curtains.. I think putting them off for 18 months is quite long enough..

    It may be that absolutely nothing else gets done mind lol.

    I have sorted bags for the W/E at OH's mothers.. without the swimming gear. this baby is simply not going she is far too snotty and grotty and water borne viruses in swimming pools are gross.. as is the slick of snot! If they don't like it.. tough titty! MY baby!!!

    I have emptied a drawer into a storage box so the clothes that actually fit me can be put away tidy.. so that's done.

    Baby feeding time.. she can then be bathed as she is caked in dried snot and lemon from the lemon jammie dodger she had before bed.. and the tiny bit of mud she found to eat while OH was 'watching' her!
    Sort baby food/juice/spoons/beaker into bag
    Sort MY food into bag ;) .. juice is in already.
    Parcel up another ebay parcel and have DD1 post it.

    Oooh... I have a package to collect from the PO too.. best get moving it shuts at 1...

    Snap! Pigpen.
    DD1's room has been without curtains for over a year. Curtain pole was put up on Tuesday - so one of my Frogs today is to iron and hang curtains ready for DD1 return from uni on weekend.

    Very impressed with Space Bags/vaccuum storage bags! Tidied away all spare bedding (from overspill on landing) into 1 jumbo bag neatly INSIDE cupboard. Amazing how much it compacts - quite a thrill to watch it shrink! So much fun - I did it twice !

    I had some smaller bags for 'clothes I'm going to get back into- the 'shrink' wasn't quite as dramatic, but now neatly packed on top of wardrobe.

    HHC didn't go too well as DD arrived home half way through with grazed knees, arms, etc so had to sort her out. I have made 2 phone calls from my frog list though and sorted out a little but more on my major hotspot/ kitchen work surface.
