    Still haven't found my keys and I've sorted out the stuff that had been put in the conservatory so I don't think they're there so now I have no idea where to look. I've also sorted a hotspot in the LR and once I've finished getting dressed I think I'm going to hoover.

    Just got SW tonight and I'm only being weighed as I'll have the kids so I should have plenty of time tonight to get stuff done which is a good job really as I've got a meeting here tomorrow evening at 7.30 and DS has football first so I won't really have much time to do anything tomorrow night.

    Morning all, yesterday was a complete wash out..:( Went to my course and did an exam, fingers crossed i pass. Then when i came home i had to talk OH down and get in touch with CPN and doctor. HTT now out as well and it's likely SS will be in touch too. So it sucks in the Vanilla houshold at the minute.:(

    My plans today is the house, starting as soon as the boys go to school. I will report back this evening with a very long list of things that have been done..:D
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Morning everyone. I was in bed at 12.15 - very late for me. FIL took him in this morning - I love my FIL!

    I'm going to go into work for a couple of hours today. I don't think there will be much to do so I will do a Mr T shop online.

    I've out some of last night's ironing away. I need to lay out the little ones school clothes and get myself sorted out.

    I really hope your keys appear Jue

    You and me both for more sleep Dusty!

    Had a strange nights sleep. Woke up with a whole new story line for one of DD2's favourite kids programmes running through my head :cool: Worse thing is it won't go and I'm thinking about costumes!! :eek:

    Not much got done last night except an argument with DD2 about the state of her side of the bedroom :mad:
    So her stuff still needs removing from the living room and the bedroom still needs finishing (she did make a start on it).
    Couldn't mop hall floor as DD2 hasn't removed her bike :(

    TD is on :o it's a load of towels so were unlikely to dry anywhere else and if they did they'd be scratchy! :p
    DW will be on once my coffee is finished :)
    I really need to do some study today but don't feel like it and I really need to go to the building society. I've [STRIKE]lost[/STRIKE] misplaced my internet passnumbers so can't do online banking and it's driving me nuts. I also need to post the boyfriendish's mum's birthday card. I think I'll give my mum a call see if she wants to amble down with me, she could do with a break from my dad.

    WOW I just called her and she agreed :eek::eek: My mum never goes anywhere so I'm amazed :eek:

    Morning

    Last night I dreamt I was driving in a unfamiliar town and I ended up at a flylady's house where there were a few more flyladies. They helped me plan a route home. :)

    MB changed and in wm
    LR S&S done
    2 presents left to buy from us
    presents for DS1&2 from my parents to buy

    Must remember to ask if they want me to write there CC & envelopes again this year.

    Hugs to Boddy
    Hope Toots is ok. Haven't seen any posts for a while.

    Back later xx

    Sort those books out - which can you get rid of? - Hex please don't have palpitations - are there any new books out from the same authors that you could put on your Christmas list or buy other people? :eek::eek: That involves moving the bunkbeds, opening the cupboard, removing the outdoor Christmas lights, and then trying to get the boxes out and then sorting through them all. I think I may just sort through the bookshelves and my room:cool:

  • Lost another 1 1/2lbs this week, so that's 32 1/2 all together now (must update siggy) :) Was hoping for a wee bit more as have been extra super good, been running and Zumba-ing lots, but I'll take it anyway! And this morning I found my collarbones :rotfl:

    DS2 is being a grotty grot bag so not sure what flying I'll get done today. LR isn't too bad but floor needs mopping and everything needs a dust so hopefully will get that done.

    Got a few more pressies courtesy of Mr T's double up vouchers, so really need to sort out a list of what I still need to get, and I still need to pay my rent, which I'll do after lunch.

    I never seem to manage much on a Tuesday for some reason! I think after WW takes up most of my morning I just flop for the rest of the day. Need a fluffy mule or two...
