All done from last post as well as sorting our room out. Bin bags all sorted and i think i have 3 bag to get up on ebay over the next few days, the rest can wait until free listing weekend. Bedroom been dusted, hoover and windowsil, tops of units cleared.

All bedding nearly dry and then i'll get them back on the beds. DW been loaded and on again. Need to hoover right through but i'll wait until Rhys is awake.

Gonna go and put one suitcase in attic and clean the other for my sister (for when she has little one). Need to clean Joey out too but i'll get the kids to help with that.

B&Q only had 7 of the tiles I wanted... And I needed 60. So went to get the other tiles and found a border there that will do. They didn't have all the tiles, so they've been ordered and will be in on Thursday. Not sure who will collect them or when, but I'm sure I'll find someone to help

Second load of washing on the line, although it doesn't look as if it will dry given how overcast it is.

Going to do a bit of work and maybe some paperwork for a bit.

Just catching up with what's been happening since I posted last night....

Greenbee being related to someone does not make it compulsory to like them... nasty, nasty outlaws!:(

Jojo I'm puzzled... what in the sam hell does KH have against Minion getting sorted out now, in order to prevent becoming a "cripple"? (I thought that word died the death last century, btw!) The man must be a few sandwiches short of a picnic.

Actually, thinking about it, the above-mentioned outlaws and KH sound amazingly like my parents..... :cool:

Seafarers lol your DH wouldn't last 5 minutes with me.... I'm verging on obsessive about things being put back in their correct places!:D

The grass looks nice now that Mr LW has hoovered it.:A All ready for Terrier Ted's arrival, on Wednesday.:D

Also Wednesday, Mr LW's pal "A" is visiting.... again. But I'm informed he's bringing a bottle of champagne with him..... His Decree Absolute finally came through!:T

Such sadness in the world today - in Norway - who'd've thought it? and now in North London - one more star which burned too brightly and burned out too soon...

My heart goes out to the families of those in Norway.

On a brighter note de-cluttering continues apace. Stuff gone to charity shop *fling* including 2 pairs of DS's outgrown glasses which I was reluctant to throw if they could have been made use of - so Oxfam has 'em (and a frog job really). Also some other stuff gone which I CBA to ebay because I don't think it will sell - a couple of bog-standard, non-leather handbags and the cake trim from my wedding cake 18 years ago! Huge bag of carrier bags in the car to take to be recycled at Mr Ms when I next go. Bitty errands done in town - and mummyoffive looked so well!

Bought a mop from Wilkos with a spare head 'free' - good job as the one on the mop turns out not to have been put together properly so will have to go back - but was still able to mop the kitchen floor.

Kitchen cleaned including windows *puts on sunglasses* and vacuumed under washer with nozzle and heard lots of flicked-under-cat-litter being whooshed up the pipe!

Vallikids back early from their dad's again...

JJTTF - sounds like a plonker - fancy not taking scoliosis seriously *shrug*

Obviously wore myself out going out and doing the washing... So ended up falling asleep rather than doing any work. OH called and sounds desperately unhappy. I suspect that his parents are putting a lot of pressure on him. What happened to loving your children unconditionally regardless of whether you like or approve of what they are doing? His parents have never met me, and have nothing against me, but they think he should go back to his ex (who doesn't really want him). Not sure whether for the sake of the kids (who are happier without the yelling and plate throwing) or appearances. Either way, they're obviously pressing all the right buttons right now. Just when I could do with him being able to support me... I know he's trying to but I can tell he's struggling.

Have found some veggies in the fridge that need eating and defrosted some vegetable and tofu casserole, so will have supper and head off to bed. I feel very pathetic going to bed while it's light, but I'm shattered and there is still so much left to do... (funny how all the people who tell me they're going to help never bother... Why do they offer if they aren't going to follow through. If they were honest from the outset I could make other plans and not end up being under even more pressure.)
