    coffeeandfags, welcome, if there is a lot, ask the school to send some little people over to help, most will willingly do so :)

    (It's coffee and a patch for me now but great name btw :) )
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Just checking in to say that I have got nowhere flying this w/e. On the plus side, a good mate (who is feeling [STRIKE]a bit[/STRIKE]very down) came to stay so we had a great dinner, night at the cinema and run out to the country today. I've done the washing up at least and that Xmas present did get successfully returned on Friday.
    Decorator starting tomorrow (not very old-style but after years of DIY, having seen how fab this person's work is, it's worth it to me) so looking forward to having to ignore 2 rooms in my home till they're done.
    Have a good week everyone:)

    you sensible people are probably all in bed by now...i'm on my way once i've written this! i think i did ok today, as i was invited out to lunch at friends after church and then went out this evening for dinner at the carvery (not v os but healthy!) but still managed to get a decent amount done!

    so my jobs for sunday:


    empty dyson
    sort wardrobe
    got 4 big bags of stuff, did drawers as well :)
    ironing mountain (i never do any!)
    put away clothes - tomorrow, not gonna bother ironing :D
    hoover under bed & all through bedroom
    S&S bathroom
    S&S kitchen

    xmas & bday thankyou letters
    water plants
    quick hoover through flat
    fix loose carpet on stairs

    watch new pride & prejudice dvd with a glass of wine :) - went out for dinner with best mate instead!

    also did manage to hoover kitchen floor, sort out and clean up all my jewellery, put rubbush & recycling out, washer & d/w on & unloaded, posted stuff on freecycle,

    edit: realised it doesn't look like a lot, but i reckon i spent 3 hours on bedroom so it really got a good going over!

    good morning :hello:

    dd decided 5am was enough! i saw to her twice, she went from crying to bubbling and i left her till 6am - that was when she finally managed to wake her brother :confused:
    so we are up .. but that's about it :D

    monday is still our weekend because OH works mon-fri night.

    we did manage to put the new shelf up in the playroom and i sorted through some of the toys. looks much nicer now :T
    i just have to sort through all the boxes where everything gets thrown into and try and get everything together again :think:
