Well I've done behind/under the desk :j It was a nightmare! Re-arranged, labelled & "tidycable"ed all the wires and attached the 4-way-extension to the back of the desk to save some space on one of the shelves. Then I made the mistake of deciding to hoover the fan on the computer :eek: Ended up almost taking the computer apart trying to tackle all that dust and ick! It's still not properly clean as OH will have to get a can of pressurised air or something to clean the last 2 which are too inaccessible to clean with a soft paintbrush;)

Just had lunch (toast & coffee as I need something hot to warm me up) and I could really do with popping out to the shops as we've just ran out of spread. I desperately need something really hot and soothing as I just can't get warm today, so a nice can of cream of chicken or mushroom soup would just hit the spot Think I might pop to the co-op...trying to avoid Aldi & Asda until the weekend when I can get OH to pick me up with the months shopping Right...off to tidy up the kitchen (will wash pots later when I've had something hot) and then Co-op I'm coming! :wave:

pigpen: The only card you got was from MIL a month late!!

Did your lovely kiddies not even make you one? Well, belated happy birthday wishes!! Who needs birthdays at our age, I still feel young.

Great isn't it?

8 children, one husband, 2 parents, 1 grandmother and no birthday card... until today!

Not to worry, I got presents and after all.. they ARE the important bit!!

ooh.. best wrap hubby's present.. I usually end up foing the wrapping last minute.. but I need to go take the bedding up so I will do it now.. then ring GP surgery for blood results.. then empty at least 1 of those infernal tesco crates in the hallway!.. no doubt it will be time to collect the grubs by then!

I am REALLY tired again already.. I'm wondering if it is all this cleaning making me realise how unfit I am!! lol

Think this flylady is making me into a bit of a cleaning snob!! Called round at a friends today and all I could think was her patio doors need a clean, and her glass coffee table and her telly screen, then I noticed the cobwebs:eek: .

What has this site done to me!!!! I wanted to scream stardrops, white vinegar and microfibre cloth. Even found myself wanting to clean it for her!!:rotfl:

How sad am I???

Has Pixxysu's message made anyone elses screen go really wide?? Is it possible she could edit her message.

Not sure if she meant any of that or whether little fingers (if she has kids) have been busy lol

pigpen

Yes.. it just needs a few spaces adding to break it up.

Now we ALL know she leaves the flylady page open AAAALLLLLL day... lol.. we know your secret piixxysu!!

Well ok day, quite suprised as kids are off school, done loads inc baking etc, remembered to list eBay things but some more to do, all the washings done from last nights sicky time, have had to put TD on to get it all dry. Waiting for duvet etc to finish the bed. Bedrooms done, all floors done (will redo living room when kids go to bed as no doubt it'll need it) Still need to put a stack of laundry done away, will do that when I put the boys to bed. Then just the nighttime stuff to do and that'll be it for the night
