much like you do!

Doesn't everyone rush about like a nutter filling bins the day before the binmen come?

Mine are emptied Tuesdays so I spend all day Monday running around the house filling up bins.... We filled the brown bin and a black bin just from the garden this week!!! And there is more to go!!

TD reloaded...

I am all restless and fidgetty again

I have decided OH is taking Squeak swimming next week.. He needs kicking regularly so I shall kick him.. it might stop him texting a certain person for an hour

Oh I see, it was the so organised bit that was confusing me

I had to take some gardening waste to the tip today due to my bin antics being ruined by the new recycling system here:eek::rotfl::rotfl: I miss my old operation wheelie bin days.

Head is spinning after school meeting with several very vocal parents.

One bedroom now has it's first coat, second coat to be done in the morning. Hubby managed to knock over the tin of paint over the carpet but i think we've rescued it. :eek:

Right i am going to fall into my pit in the livingroom.

Oh Rhys has managed to keep the other two boys up until 11, so much for me worrying that the boys would keep Rhys up. :rotfl:

Morning All

DH woke me up by ringing me and I have a headache. Kids are off school but I'm not so they're going to my mum's. Swimming tonight and DD starts her lessons too so that's 2 hours I'll be out of the house for so I may as well write Thursday evenings off now.

Right I'd better get up and do something.

Have a good day all

Hugs

I am in a foul mood :mad:, boyfriend problems. I'm wondering if I'm forseeing the end
He lives to far away to bother trying to argue with so I'll just take it out on the housework. Have to get as much done as possible as I'm meant to be going to his for the weekend . . .

Still have the whole of the bathroom to do as I never got around to it yesterday.
I forgot to get the washing in last night so will have to wait awhile before I can put the next load out.
DD2 is off school today (DD1's year has to go in - they're at the same school so it seems strange to me), I was going to get her to help with some garden jobs but she's arranged to go to the beach so I'll get her to do them when she gets home
I have given her a list of jobs to do in their room before she goes so all I'll be doing in there is hoovering.
We are planning to decorate their room this summer so everything will need to be packed up at some point but it'll wait 'til they finish school.
Right, I'm off to declutter a cup of coffee DD1's just made me :eek: before making a start. If any of you see me lurking give me a kick!! :rotfl:
