    morning all!¬

    Been awake since the early hours - next door have headed off on holiday this morning and were putting their recycling out at 5.45am (collection is monday) - cans rolling everywhere!

    Have since decluttered my morning walk (1hour), put on the syndicate lottery and had breakfast.

    Am about to start the ironing - OH is painting DS's room - it's a true box room and there isn't really room for more than one person to do anything in there at any one time.....

    anyone care to join me in a HHC/HHI at 8.30?

    morning everyone. havent had time to catch up since thursday.

    DS2 had the hospital yesterday and has new cream to try to clear up his skin but on the way hime he clawed his head and the back of his neck. i had to stop the car to deal with all the blood :(

    the consultant did get a good laugh when i tok out all his lotions and potions to show him and DS2 saw the eye drops for the infection he has just now and shouted "no eye drops" then picked them up and hid them in a drawer in the room!

    and i finally got a new phone! handset number 4 this year and its a new brand so hopefull this one wont be faulty like the other 3! i love it so much! i think i love it more than my kids! i had the 3 version of this phone and really wish i had gone straight for the 4 but no no i went for another fruit based brand. one of the best things about this phone is i get my Mr T app back and i was happily scanning items for my oder last night :D

    Morning all, i'm in the mood for sorting today. :D

    My plan for today is to empty our room except for bed and bedside cabinets. Then i'll give the sparky another ring and if he doesn't appear i'll do the tracking myself. I will have it done before the kids go back to school...:D

    So todays list is
    1) load dw
    2) get kids fed and dressed
    3) shift bin bags from our room into back hall
    4) move units to boys room
    5) clear bedroom windowsil
    6) find a space for the boys wardrobe
    7) take boarder off in our room
    8) wipe skirting boards and if i can i'll take them off
    9) meassure wood needed for curtain track
    10) phone sparky.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Morning all

    I'm kind of half packed, but OH and DS2 are still in their PJs, and DS1 is 'sorting stuff'. Since I'm doing all the work here, I'm neither stressing nor rushing. Most important things are sorted and I 'just' have to pack clothes and washbags now.

    We had planned to be off by 11am, so 11.30-12 should be doable. Have a good weekend and a nice week, everyone. I'll be back sometime next Saturday. I may log on if there are internet facilities at the accomodation and I feel the need for sensible company. ;)

  • have a mad cat, he likes the rain :rotfl: was yowling to be out so whilst i was pottering in the kitchen i let him out even though its bouncing out there. he kept running in and out trying to make up his mind as to what this stuff was, so whilst he was doing that i did the kitchen cupboard so thats frog off my list :D

    only thing is though its made me aware of what im running low on so need to do a shopping list for after next payday to stock up.

    going to potter on facebook games for a bit and then hit the spare room again. going to clear the rest of the floor, then finish my shredding and then hoover.
