Achieved very little, washed up and loaded DW.

Morning from hell really. Mother on the phone with the usual pre Christmas nightmare her and my sister cause every year. In a nutshell told her I'm not playing their stupid games this year.

Not getting very far with the carpenter and what I don't like about the windows either.

At least insurance assessor caused no hassle so the 3 of them have taken up my entire morning and now I have to sort out my governor stuff for tonight's meeting.

Sorry that was a right moan wasn't it.

Well, I've vacuumed the floors downstairs and put the DW on again, as something made everything smell of homemade barbeque marinade.

About to get Minion to the physioterrorist and then, depending on whether it's too cold or not, might nip into the hairdressers, as I have a show tonight and, having seen last week's photos, I need to do something with it (and my huge stomach, but that can't happen overnight, sadly).


It's cold today!

Hi,

So far have been to tesco, S&S'd kitchen, put the bins out for tomorrow, WM and TD on, made soup and fed the boys, and fed them again, and again! Can't seem to fill them up at the moment, especially the older one. Think I will have to bake some cheese straws or something cheap to keep him filled because it's costing me an arm and a leg in yogurts and fruit.

Soup is smelling good so I'm going to crack on with the bathroom and then have a bowl for my lunch - always soup on a Monday as it's weigh in day tomorrow (let's just ignore the 3 nice biscuits I just had...)

HHC anyone?

Good afternoon, back from work and put a load in the wm. DD home with me too......she had a couple of spots on her face last week and I didn't think anything of it but today now she has some strange red marks on her hand and the school secratery has advised taking her to the docs(hate going there though!!!), I'd rather take her to the chemist and see what they say.....neither open till 2 though, so I'll pop to the chemist and then if they advice going to the doctors then I will go.

On a flying note I have got my list of 5 things

Opticians
Doctors( was on my list before dd, so will have to go at some point!!!!)
Hair cuts
studying
desk shelves

We'll see how I get on with them.

how sad and a waste of time life must be for many sat writing a list of cleaning chores! I hope many of you are just lonely and just looking for 'virtual' chat! If not then get back into paid employment asap.

How sad that some people have nothing better to do with their time than read forum posts, which they have no interest in, and try to wind poeple up just so they can some interaction in their otherwise lonley life.

sorry I just stumbled on it by accident and was amazed at what I was reading! Won't bother you again!

ps learn to spell!!! I'm just going to put the bins out - thought I'd share that with you... I presume that's what the thread is for? lol

Afternoon all!

I'm coming out of lurkdom as I seem to do better with the lists when I'm posting.
I'm pleased it's the bathroom today, as I scrubbed all the tiles down at the weekend, so I can just finish it off when I get home from work.

I was inspired last week to dig out my old suede gloves. Does anyone have any tips on how to clean them? The dry cleaners won't do them as they're too small an item to go through their machines. I've had a scrub using suede cleaner for shoes, but they still look grubby.
