    Pigpen - I can't imagine anything more horrific than my MIL coming to stay when I just want to curl up with my new baby and sleep! My ex-MIL is a total cleanfeak - this thread would be her hourly jobs, let alone a day/week/year. The woman is terrifying in her extermination of imagined dirt and clutter is simply not allowed in the first place. Let's see how she copes with ex-DH and his slovenly ways...mwahahahaha. I'm betting a breakdown for the end of the week.....


    And can anyone tell me what HHC means? Half Hour Chat? Haul Hiney, Clutter?
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    4 items listed on Ebay (minus pics) meaning 1 black bag of stuff to sell has gone from my wardrobe. :D

    I'm off to watch a bit of crappy Tv now and relax before another early night (cause i did sleep through the alarm this morning).:cool:
  • Good evening :D

    I am not doing very well with the lists :o

    I was working this morning until 1pm. Cleared up the toys & then went into town with DD2. She needed bras. She is the WORST person for anything like this :( She did allow me to measure her (reluctantly). I made her a 30C. Went to Debenhams (no Primark cheapies in that size!) She tried some on, but they were too plunging. Then she refused to try on any more :mad: Eventually managed to bribe her with the Smurf knickers she liked!! Ended up buying 3 bras, size 30D (& 3 pairs of knickers). She is so skinny!! At least Debenhams had 20% off everything :j
    Decluttered 2 episodes of Casualty from V+ box, cooked dinner, did most of the washing up, scrubbed upstairs toilet. That's about it :o

    I have Little Miss Sunshine tomorrow, but she has play group in the morning, so hopefully I can get at least level 1's done tomorrow. i will post my list in the morning in the hope that it gives me some motivation.

    DH is working from home tomorrow (apart from a meeting in the morning) so he is doing 3 out of the 7 school runs tomorrow!! I will do 3 (the work ones) & DD2 can walk home from school :p DH looks a bit brighter today. He didn't make an appointment at the docs, but still hasn't ruled it out.

    Ok - i will catch up with everyone in the morning. hugs , sticks & spoons to those that need them. night night all
