Kids have been nice and thoughtful this morning so far, girls shouting and screaming at each other and DS thought it was a good idea to shove toast up his nose! I just hope he sneezed all of it out, he won't let me look so I'll have to sneak attack him later no doubtTotal Debt at LBM - £19107.03Total now - £11091.220 -
Morning ladies, DS has gone to a church group for a couple of hours so what can I get done?
HHC at 10.15 anyone?
I'm going to start now and keep going into it, I've plenty to do!
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

Hope all are well.
When I get home from work, I need to tackle the bedroom as I couldn't find my meds this morning.:o But the new packets were to hand so I could start on those;)‘Keep your eye on the donut and not on the hole.’ David Lynch.

How'd you do Bonnie?
I've found my bedroom floor and the top of the cupboard :j
put away piles of clean stuff sitting on the cupboard
rounded up more washing
WM x 2
TD x 1
started pulling out summer stuff to go up in the loft, think that I might wear cropped trousers, but unlikely to wear strappy dresses or t-shirts this year (its autumnal here, cool and very wet)
rehomed a pile of DS's clothes to his room
found a pile of neatly folded plastic bags - why? now in recycling
bleached the loos
emptied upstairs bins
time for a cuppa? HHC at 11.15 anyone?

Good morning
Happy Birthday Sammr85 :bdaycake:
I worked really hard on the kitchen before we went out yesterday, but it looked like a bomb had hit it by the time i went to bedSo back to square one
DW has been emptied & reloaded (thanks to DH), and dog fed.
I have a Virgin man visiting my bedroom laterso i think I will clear the floordrobe in there today :rotfl:i need to go into town later with DS for some school stuff - was going to go this morning, but can't get going
and need to be back by 12 (for said Virgin man)
We had a good day yesterday at the theme park, spent loads of money againhad lots of people round, including BIL, SIL and kids, who turned up unannounced at about 7.30 when we were about to sit and eat dinner & chill - hence the bombsite mentioned earlier (it reached the LR & DR aswell) Also decluttered £10 on a flat tyre repair that we noticed when we got back at 5.30 (luckily i live opposite a tyre shop, who shut at 6!)
OK - must crack on. I think I will try & catch up with Corrie while doing the bedroom. First - breakfast. Will updae later.0 -
