  • Morning all,

Nothing like leaving it til the last minute! I'm now having a coffee while dd1 watches ben & holly - still waiting for dd2 to wake up (she is only 1 so this is very very unusual).

    WM is on

    I'm back to the dancing school this morning and feel very unfit. Off to sort airing cupboard then get ready
  • ive fed and watered the cat and also changed his litter tray and got the used tray in the wash on a hot wash to clean it. so much easier than scrubbing it out in the bath.

    going to potter again today as still not feeling great, phoned work again and just waiting on my manager calling me back for an update on why im not going in :(

    going to potter about upstairs as downstairs is ok bar some dusting and hoovering which can wait.
  • Boo!

    Hope to be back with you soon (following a hectic summer :) ) once I've packed my lot off to college, university and Texas ;)

    Great to see you :D

    This morning involves manic cleaning up and hopefully some packing as I've realised I need to do as much as possible before my manicure this afternoon. The freezers are almost bursting at the seams as I try to make sure there is no food lurking before i go.

    Morning all,

    Ds2 is having a massive tantrum because i won't let him out in the garden to play yet. He's not the quietest of children and i don't want him waking the new neighbours. Although the noise he's making now is probably worse than if i'd let him out. :mad:

    I've put the wm on, fed the boys and fed the cat who thinks he lives here.

    HHC at 9.00 anyone? I want to get the bedrooms cleaned this morning. I need to go to the market and will take Ds2 out for a walk somewhere.

    Sorted out lots of paperwork last night - and left a big pile of shredding for little one to get on with this morning.... He likes it!

    Just have some last bits to put away and need to find homes for things like spare greetings cards/wrapping paper etc.

    All receipts and statements which need to be updated to my spreadsheet (which I havent updated properly since July :eek:) are sitting in an orderly pile on the desk.... which still needs to be gutted... Im not sure how much crapola is hiding in the desk drawer!!

    Thats a job for tomorrow now though!

    Im taking the little one to the 10am show at the cinema which is Rango - then I have a voucher for Pizza hut so Ill take him there for lunch - day out and lunch for both for £7! (plus drinks...) Then I have my friend coming round tonight... Not sure how much packing ill get done before then as a mad-tidy up will be required!! :rotfl:

    Have a good day folks xx
