Yet more financial faux pas and many other disasterous decisions

Spent yesterday ruthlessly turfing tat out of the dining room. Its now so minimalistic it echos.

The OH spent the evening helping DD1 with her science homework. She was attempting to make a spermatazoa but the end result is considerably more phallus like. I spent far too long with an array of pipe cleaners knitting Escherichia coli complete with pii and pipe cleaner flagella much to OHs ammusement. I thought DD1 was joking when she said she'd told her cience teacher I'd knit one but as I discovered on parents evening she wasn't.

Todays plans involve being in three places at once starting with abandoning DD1 at the riding school by 6:30am yesterdays time which is 7:30am todays time. Obviously we're running very very late but theres a limit to how fast two half asleep children can do anything.

Futher plans for the day involve tackling another room with the same level of enthusiasm I mustered up yesterday whilst wading through a heck of a lot of laundry.

...but is another room now full of the tat?

??? Why??? Just because? and what will the future use of the phallus type object be? Will it come home at the end of term to be used as a beanie hat stand?

Well done, it's good to know a woman who can turn her hand to anything! :T

Children are never abandoned at the stables, they are put to work and willingly work much harder there than they will ever work for for you...

Is that the room you moved the dining room tat into?

I'm starting to use your diary as a pick me up in the morning! I love it!

Oooh such harsh acusations! I'll have you know I tidied properly by filing the vast majority of the tat into the large black receptacle for surplus worthless tat. The remainder was dumped into Land Rover land in the hopes that OH will eventually take the hint.

DD1s homework was to make a 3D cell. No futher details given and since the only cells discussed in class were blood cells and spermatazoa the list was somewhat restricted. Inadvertently discovered that polystyrene doesn't like water based child friendly non-toxic paint as this caused it to shrivel whilst emitting copious amounts of foul smelling fumes. It may well be some warped form of punishment or an end of term competition in the staffroom to see who can persuade their students to take the most ridiculous object to school. She left the house yesterday with a pillow, a blanket, an egyptian headscarf, a hairnet and an envelope in addition to her PE kit and everyday school stuff.

Sadly room #2 is full of more tat. If I was shoving stuff from A to B then B would be the final destination on my list and not the room I tackled on day 2. Much like the tardis under the stairs. Daren't start taking stuff out of it because theres no way even a third of it will fit back in there and I'm rapidly running out of wheelie bin space.

Mind you ideally I'd like to empty the dishwasher in order to do yesterdays washing up (I know I know) but theres a distinct lack of cupboard spece in which to put the clean stuff. Not helped by an OH with cleptomanic tendancies. We have an entire set of imitation cut glass drinking vessels which are hideously ugly and painfully uncomfortable to use. There are almost a hundred of them in total in ranging from sherry glasses to brandy balloons. We can't use them because we might break them and render the set incomplete. We can't sell them or even give them away because his mother gave them to him .... and I can't box them and put them in the loft in case she ever comes to visit and wants a glass of water. Not that shes set foot through the door in almost a decade and given that she lives 8 hours away shes not likely to pop in without a bit of warning. And thats just one cupboard. Every cupboard tells the same story. I need to have a mahoosive clear out and thats precisely what I'm going to do today.

I don't know how to type the snorting with laughter noise Lucielle, but that is just what you have made me do!

Yesterday was simply glorious and so I abandoned housework and spent the day attempting to clear some of the winter debris from the garden with DD2. It looked marginally better until DD2 decided to jet the steps with the hose generating copious amounts of chicken poo based mud which the hound from hell decided to roll in before hurtling into the house and rolling on my duvet. Cue much unanticipated laundry.

DD1 had a great day. She was rewarded for being a gobby wee shoite with the Pony Club Public Speaking Award and spent almost three hours riding. Got there to find her jumping in the arena which is something she was petrified of doing. She fell asleep in the car, stayed asleep whilst we hauled her into the house and deposited her on the sofa which is no easy thing to do. She woke up just in time to scoff dinner, bake a batch of mini cupcakes in her new gadget and go to bed.

DD2 is rather miffed that shes not old enough to be abandoned at the stables for the day.

Finished sewing in ends on the coat. Started picking up stitches for the first half of the front face. Hpoing I can get away with a dozen rows before repeating on the other side and hopefully completing the whole thing by the end of the week. Will be v. glad to see the back of it.

Plans for today involve a long walk in the sunshine and not a lot of anything else, its simply too nice to be stuck indoors doing housework.
