    It's amazing what can be done when the kids go to bed. :rotfl: Rhys now sleeping and rest are still up but quiet. DW been emptied and reloaded, wm reloaded. I think i'll get another bit done in the kitchen.......


    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Cupboards, I just used one of those non scratch scouring pads with some Fairy Liquid or Stardrops. Then wiped over after with a microfibre cloth.

    Anything you use will require a bit of elbow grease. But once it's done it'll just be a wipe over when the list comes round each week.;)

    Thanks ladies. I have sugar soap, fairy liquid and stardrops in! No excuse, so can you remind me of that on Wednesday purleese? :D
    Didn't do any ironing, I completely ran out of energy.
    So I need to add HHI to tomorrows list.

  • I'm in. Should be doing stuff in the morning, but going with a friend to see the Blockheads play tomorrow night - as soon as Minion mentioned that I had a gig to go to, her father offered to have her for the evening. :D

    Need to do:

    Front room

    DW
    WM X 2 (my clothes and bedlinen)

    Splat tray _pale_

    Buy cat food before they have a go at my legs as I sleep.

    Repeat prescription!!!!!!!! Only 1 day left!!!!!!!!!!

    Register at new doctors (can't be bothered with trek to old GP's anymore when there's a polyclinic watchmacallit 10 minutes' away).


    Currently sitting in front of telly in the dark with DD insisting on watching Marley and Me, hoping she can't see me flooding with tears. I told her not to watch it (and she's crying too). Wretched dog movies!!!!
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

  • Some decluttering done (well - a big box! Not bad.) I need a toaster so it's a trip to somewhere tomorrow after my broadband box gets delivered. I'll wait til then and get a swishy thing for the floors too :D and then hopefully I can get the place done with relative ease.

    I filled and flung 10 binbags today, been absolutely ruthless.

    We now have a landing we can walk along without bumping into the ironing board, 4 boxes of stuff for car booting, bedrooms and landing hoovered.
    I cleared all my clothes away.

    The kitchen looks great, microwave cleaned and worktops all cleared and cleaned.

    We're on the countdown for DD2's operation so I know I'd like a lot sorted before this so we don't have to worry too much about housework.

    I woke up about an hour ago and can't get back to sleep. I don't know what I've done to the thread order on OS but it's all over the place. Beavers tonight and interview tomorrow then SW. I've got the munchies now but I'm not planning on getting up. Suppose I'd better see if I can get back to sleep although I'm not holding out much hope.
