    Only had 3 hours sleep again :( couldn't stop thinking and when I did fall asleep I got woken up by DC5 scratching at her lamp shade :mad: DD1 and I flea dropped 4 out of 5 of the cats (DC1 was done this morning when she came in)
    When we got up this morning DC5 had managed to get the lamp shade off! :mad: So it's now tied on with a piece of green and white spotted ribbon :D as the bandage has disappeared.
    My friend has invited me out for breakfast this morning but I don't feel like going :o

    WM is on as I forgot to put it on last night. I'm going to have a coffee then start on the kitchen.
    I left fresh bedding in my room last night so I could change the bed today but I think DC5 might have peed on it during the night :(:mad: so I'll need to investigate that in a minute.

    And yesterday I did a quick tidy of the lounge and the washing up and two loads of washing and made a start on the shoe racks :rotfl:
    I am 56 years old with 3 cats and a beautiful view of the beach
  • Good morning all :D

    Up & showered, dog fed & outside, washing up done, DW on, LR tidified. Kids decluttered to school.

    I am off to my friends in a mo to help her get things ready for an iminent Ofsted inspection. It is good for me too, because it makes me keep my 'work' hat on :p I did some uni work last night (well, little) I had to post some comments/opinions on a forum! :rotfl:i can manage that! :T

    Very sad here - a little boy was knocked down last night in a hit & run near here. He was knocked over by a bike, and died at the scene. I don't know him, but it makes me sad to think of his poor family. It happened at 3.30 and he was with his mum. He was only 6 - the same age as one of my mindees. I don't know which school he went to, but it will be a local one. So sad :(

    Ok. i need to print off a few things, then I am off for the morning. Flying/studying will resume after lunch :)

    today has gone better than normal was in a nesty sort of mood,got a few things left to tackle but getting there... are stardrops really as good as everone says for everyday s+s ing?

    i use stardrops and its fantastic! originally i just used it for my floors a few years and and totally forgot it existed till i started on this forum a while back.

    i used up everything i had and thoroughly cleaned out the bottles and diluted the start drops into that. i have a spray bottle in the kitchen and in the bathroom. my house has never been so clean!

    DS2 at nursery. thank the lord coz he woke up on the wrong side of the bed today! so its just me and DS1. he is playing with yesterdays lego.

    taking him into town to paint at the new ceramics place my mates opened to paint a plate or something for my dads xmas. i cant think of anything to get him and last year i got him engraved brandy glasses, the year before a "grandad and me" photoframe thing for his desk and now ive ran out of ideas! it was going to be a popcorn machine but they are like 30 quid and i just cant afford it. £8 for a plate/tile, paint and firing and alot more personal. plus i cant get shouted at for buying something small like that (my parents hate me spending money on them coz they know how tight things are but what i do buy them is always sentimental and normally makes us all cry and is almost always below a tenner)

    right best go start on counting pennies and get a load in the washing machine. its breeding laundry upstairs. i need contraception for it!

    I've done all the dailies, including putting a sausage casserole on and mopping the floor(a bottle of something(I think stardrops)leaked from a bag).

    But the kitchen needs another quick wipedown now as I am a messy cook!!

    I'll do some studying while waiting for the floor to dry and then go and do that.........xx

    Running behind on list today already. DD got gragged through mud yesterday by some oikes at school. Poor thing had to wear her PE kit and some school boy's pants all day. :( Didn't find out 'til late as she was at MIL's after school then Rainbows. She looked clean so I didn't bath her, but this morning she found some dirt in her belly button and was mortified, so I chucked her in the shower and blow dried her hair. It was a miracle we got to school on time! It's photo day today, so the upside is her hair has a chance of looking nice for the pic - it usually looks like rats tails 5 mins after brushing.

    Downside is I'm behind on my list, but here's my list for today - going with my own thing. I even started a Toots list for the first time ever last night. I'll think on and maybe post it later/tomorrow.

    Here goes:
    Wash LOs bedding - in WM now
    Mozzie's trip
    DW - done
    Finalise year end accounts
    Put away one basket of laundry
    Clear coffee table
    Clear LR floor
    Vacuum LR floor
    Pair socks

    Sharon - stop procrastinating and GET ON WITH IT!!
