    Finally got some things done. Ended up spending all morning in the bathroom and we had run out of washing powder so no washing could be done until OH had gone to Mr T.

    Did eventually get enough energy to declutter and dust the lounge. But gave up when I went to dust the gas fire and a doxen ants fell out onto my foot. :eek:

    Luckily OH came to my rescue and hoovered them up. Henry is now left out waiting patiently for DD to hoover through and up the stairs.

    Have managed to swallow 2 frogs...was almost 3!

    Have sent off parcel and ordered nets which I had been meaning to do for about 3 years! Was going to order the blinds too but a bit unsure on measuring.

    OK so snoozette is over!:o

    There were a load of lads out in the Close very late last night faffing about on bikes and generally making a right racket. I did have my window open as it was so hot but had to close it because of the noise:mad: Anyway lack of sleep coupled with a 5.30am get up meant I was very tired! Well that's my excuse anyway :p

    Miss Tag is home as well so peace and quiet is well and truly shattered! Bless!

    I am going to sort out the dining room come office. It looks like a stationers nightmare in there. Need to go to the post office as well.
    I'll get back to the real lists when all thats been done.

    Didn't manage as much as I would like as I got a phone call from preschool at 10.40am, DS was getting hot and lethargic so I had to pick him up, thankfully the Mum who was parent help offered to bring DD2 home so I didn't have to go back out an hour later. Stripped him off when we got home and he just sat on the sofa watching ANTM with me (he never lets me watch anything!) he was refusing food, drink and calpol. Luckily when he cooled a touch he was willing to have a yogurt so I low-jacked it with calpol and that has perked him up a little but he's still not himself bless him. Hope he's better tomorrow, he has a hospital appointment 30 miles away so it'll be a long day with lots of long bus rides :(

    Right time to make some dinner, I hope the mince has defrosted :o

    Well a big improvement in here and lots of washing done and line dried. More sorting to do tomorrow but I am pleased with what I have done.

    Dinner is on, pasta bake with a jar that is 'slightly' out of date!

    DW loaded & put on. Played with my new game on my DS for a while in the garden before school pick up :p

    that's about it really (had a little snooze - it was the big late breakfast that did it!)

    I need to go online now to renew my NCMA membership (gone up 25% since last year :mad:) and order some stationary (10% off when you order at the same time as renewing) and some ink. They are on my frog list, so at least I can cross something off ;) May need to look at my accounts at some point too, but i suspect we may have a visit from the inlaws tonight :( unless DH has text to put them off (he doesn't want them round tonight as he just wants to chill - I said it was his family, his call)

    There was just a knock on the door. A nice man coming to read the meters. I couldn't let him in :eek::o:(

    I really have to get a grip on this place.
