    DD1's room almost gutted... I seem to have misplaced the landing...

    how do you get 3 binbags of rubbish from a room 6x8ft? Plus a basket of washing.. and I still have loads that needs putting away.

    I want the floor vacuumed and the bed stripped tonight and the duvet washed.. I am also going to go through her chest of drawers and do a spot of flinging in there.. If she hated me before she will REALLY hate me now! :D I can fit about 5 more stacking crates under her bed so that will get rid of a bit of landing gibble!

    OH has posted the ebay stuff and my figleaves return and taken the vacuum upstairs and fed Squeak..

    Pigpen~~ why are you gutting DD1's room, I thought she was about 17 or so, surely you should be 'directing operations' and getting her / ds's / dd's to help her?

    Or am I missing something here?

    Evening all

    Not much flying today, kitchen tidied and one load of washing dried.

    Went to I**A for the day with DS2 - free 2 course lunch coupon - to return some stuff and get a few bits

    DS3 has come home from school not well, temp, cough, sore throat. His athletics coach said he was not his usual bouncy self.

    DS1 has had one of my reactions to some bites so has very swollen ankles.

    DH due back from work trip tonight which will be a help.

    Time for a cuppa and load the WM, early nights all round I think.

    Getting up at stoooooopid o'clock tomorrow to get the ferry, so will be turning in early, methinks.

    The Flying Bit: I S&S'd the kitchen before we set out this morning!:rotfl:

    What a productive day!!! I have been in our RoD - the office/craft room. I've chucked out tons of stuff and found things to put on Ebay. I've reorganised the storage in there so i know exactly where all my crafting things are and i moved my desk so it's better to sit at rather than just staring at a wall.

    Have a lovely time LW.. :D

    DD1's room as done as it is getting today I want to pick a few bits off the desk... the mattress is fair fooked though replacing mattresses is next on my list of things.. I have a new sheet and duvet on it though and covered over with a fleece blanket so it matters less about the cats hopping about on it. .. it also means when OH pee's me off he can go sleep in there lol!!!

    I feel like I am going to die now lol..
