    Morning All

    Pleased you think today's list is an easy one - it'll give you plenty of time to do other jobs you keep putting off! I've got a conservatory and hall to do which wasn't too bad until the kids cleared the DR table and floor last night by dumping everything in the conservatory - which reminds me, I've got to find my keys - they were on the DR table - now I have no idea where they are! Better make that my next job then.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all, :hello:
    Rhys managed to break his cot last night, he was for moving into a big boy bed at christmas but looks like he'll be doing it abit earlier. Mind you i'll have a nosey at the cot and if i can fix it he'll be back in it. ;)

    Course this morning and then it's all about sorting the house. I plan on having a very tidy house by the weekend and i really want a good nosy at my cook books, find something new and easy.:rotfl:

    Thanks Juliejim for the lists this week.
    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
  • Thanks to all the thread runners!

    Busy week this week - still awaiting confirmation of a date for a funeral in Leicester.

    Otherwise need to get my butt in gear - lots of stuff needs sorting cos we are in CHAOS again here!

    Off to get DD2 out of bed...

    Morning, I'm in, thanks Juliejim for the listies

    Have had an @rse of a weekend, and to top it all off I managed to dye my hair day-glo orange :eek: so first on my list is to dye it back to plain old brown! Went to Mr T at 6.30am (avec hat), grabbed a box of dye and ran out! So will have to go back there later too! Rent needs paying this afternoon aswell. My downstairs is just the Kitchen, LR and DR but it all needs a good S&S anyway so will go over it all.

    Thankyou for your concern - no DVT but told to rest knee - took hours for them to tell me this following Doppler scan. As DD was here I ignored the mess and let her look after me!

    Now I must get on as have to leave the house in half an hour for a meeting and I am not even showered yet! Back tonight
