Not much progress with the list today. Doing a baby sale tomorrow so had to run into town and get replacement batteries for all the toys that have run out. Why do kids toys take so many different kinds of batteries?:mad: Also had to split some notes so I've got plenty of change but might have to go and get more.

Just going to prepare dinner and that will be my lot for today I think. Looking forward to Strictly tonight:j

Friday - Master Bedroom & Landing
Level 1
[STRIKE]Check fire alarms are working[/STRIKE] They sure are! They go off every time I boil water:mad:

Nearly sliced the top of my left middle finger off doing the sodding recycling. _pale_

Normally, I don't have to think about it and stuff just does in without faffing around. But this time, because they've changed everything, I ended up nearly losing it on a tin edge reaching in to move them around into the other box.

I am NOT doing a Tony Iommi.



Upstairs loo is clean now.

Upstairs all vacuumed.

One set of my curtains has been 'fluffed' up - I drew the threads too tight, so had to release them. I shall have to find some more curtain rings to match in a shop, so that I can get more fabric to the side of the window, as they look a bit stingy compared to Minion's, which look wonderful.


Bedlinen waiting to go on the bed. Thinking of dying my hair tonight/tomorrow, so will have to dig out darkest blue/teal stuff instead of the pale blue, I think.




It's 82 degrees in the darkest corner of the house. I can't begin to imagine how hot it is out the front today. But the grass out the back has now dried as the sun got round there and I have a cat apparently unconscious under the board seat between the raised beds.


Have resurrected the clothes airer and there is a load drying on that in the garden. Have also moved some annoying plant related gumpf and decided that I would really rather like some ice cold beer round about NOW.



I really need to do a huge supermarket shop, but I'm trying to delay it so much, I'm running out of everything at the worst possible moment.

That cuts more than one way

I was also thinking along those lines but didn't want anyone to think I was criticising their choices - but if PTA people are going to make such tactless comments about things that are actually none of their business I think they need to be put firmly in their place. Much like these people who feel it perfectly alright to ask a childlesss lady if/when she's going to start a family.

Yes, I know what you mean - I dont have anything against the mums who dont work - I just dont see why some of them have to look down their noses at those who do....

Anyway - home from working on my day off

Best do something productive, although Id much rather sit in the sunshine...


Good news piggers, Hello Toots and LL xx

lil_me

Piggers so pleased he's home, enjoy that much deserved rest

Sorry I keep meaning to post I read a bit then it's off to do something else

I have however been extremely busy, puppy comes a week today. We've been clearing out and getting new furniture for the boys room. They've chosen to have bunks, then a wardrobe/desk wall. Several items now gone, started building wardrobes which are now usable just need doors on so have started to refill them. They mean the boys will have their own organised in a way they are happy with and DS1 has already started putting his things away tonight without fuss.

Downside is now nothing more will get built until Monday due to work for DP and I'm booked to take the boys out both weekend days, he's out Sunday so next week it'll be full speed ahead. This is what is left to do (plus daily stuff) before pupsicle comes

Fill wardrobes
Build centre wardrobe for desk to go in
Finish edges on flooring
Sort kitchen Inc clearing floor
Mow lawn
Get rid of DS1s bed
Build bunk beds
Sort shed
Sort through 12 boxes (put any I don't get done temp in shed)

Must go, need to find the tickets for tomorrow I've misplaced again!!!

Another pic of little woof, his name will be Diesel. He's an Alaskan malamute and is red rather than the more common grey



All excited

vanilla

Thanks everyone for the congrats and i must say seeing Aunty Vanilla did make me smile...:D

Well done all who have just got new jobs.
Pigpen glad to here your DS is home.

I'm totally shathered today and nothing has been done in the house for a few days and to be honest nothing will be done until tomorrow. OH is relapsing and i'm waiting on the HTT to ring, i don't forsee too much sleep tonight. I feel a very full and stressful week coming my way..:(

Right i better go and empty the dw and reload, at least there will be clean dishes in the morning.

Hope everyone has a good weekend xx
