Morning Flyladies!

I'm just off to work, but had to update on my progress yesterday. Got in from work knackered and just wated to sit down, but decided to make OH make dinner (he cheated and brought lasagne home from work) and did just 30 minutes fo whizzing around picking up stuff.

Just as I sat down feeling very smug we had an unexpected visitor! And the house was ready! :j I felt so pleased with myself that my new personal mission is that every room will be ready for visitors (our bedroom not so good this morning).

I didn't manage to sort out our wardrobes last week because OH was on nights and sleeping all day, but he's away for four days now. He won't recognise the place when he gets back!

I'm quite sadly excited at the prospect. :j :j

Have a fantastic day all.

Spend some time sorting in the garage ~ have decided this will be my project for the next little while. It is full of stuff left over from moving house a few months ago. I went through three boxes this afternoon, so that's a good start!

OMG I am so cold after doing the school run. I'm going to sit here and drink my coffee and do my filing first so I can warm up enough to get my body moving again. I had to take my friends little boy to school today as she was sick trying to brush her teeth. Poor thing is only 7 weeks pregnant! Looks like she is in for a time of it.

A bit late for me but I decided to do jobs before I came on here for a change when I got back from the school run So I put Houseworks2 on and boogied/sang loudly while cleaning (maybe thats the reason my neighbour went out :rotfl: ) :dance::whistle::dance: Instead of setting a timer I decided to keep going until the CD finished and it's worked.

MOGGINS - I hope you don't mind me asking this. We've decided that i'm going to be a SAHM but we still want our kids to go into nursery for a couple of hours a week. We've not lived long in Gloucester and we don't know this area at all. Do you know of any decent nurseries in the area? I'm going to see the Bupa run Teddies nursery at the Virgin active place on the Barnwood roundabout this afternoon - it looks quite good! Any help would be much appreciated!!!!
