    Good morning all, Thanks for the list JJ, I didn't do too bad last week, but DD wanted to put the decs up, so there are a mountain of bags and boxes that need putting back in the attic. Big tree not dressed yet as there was a problem with the lights and we've been busy since they were sorted.
    DD took part in the local memorial service and march yesterday with Brownies, then Mum and Stepdad came for dinner(OH cooked after he had been to work...and done all the dishes :D). Then we had a family afternoon on the wii...bowling and game of life.

    Anyhoo, Hope you are all well and have a productive week.
    I am off to Home Bargains after thr school run, then home, into the lists and hopefully get some studying to do, plus work at lunchtime.

  • Off with DH to hospital this morning, he has to see an ENT so that will be a fun morning, but will fly when back. ALso to be added to my list is a HHI daily as the ironing pile is building up again :eek: spare room is a bit of a tip yet again, i seem to be the tornado in our house that just creates mess and its driving me bonkers.

    right, off to get dressed and scoff some breakfast before having to leave.

    Boddy - have a hug and remember all the good times.

    Hellyboo - your hair dye story made me laugh!

    Jue - Hope you've found your keys.

    My day is already in a mess. The microwave went bang this morning in the middle of the porridge cooking. They are coming out to repair it on Wednesday so I can't go to work on Wednesday.

    I also spent a long time trying to get a doctors appointment for DS2 and have a sit and wait at 10.30 so I can't go to work this morning.

    So far I've put one load of washing on so I'm not doing very well.

    NN took the little ones to school for me (I'm still in my dressing gown with the delays caused by the 2 phone calls).

    I'm off to get dressed now so I'll do a HHC at 9.30 if anyone wants to join in.

    Lots boxed and bagged up just need to get my ars* down there :o

    List of Challenges for this week

    Let's think about Christmas!

    Write your list for Santa! I’ll write it but he never asks for it anymore! :(
    Have you sorted your present list? Yes, list unsure what to get about 4 people
    Wrap or buy 3 presents depending on how organised you are. I don’t wrap ‘til nearer the tidy or it get’s ripped. No buying this week as it’s DD1’s birthday
    Write your Christmas card list. Don’t write a list, just work my way through the address book
    Are you joining in with the Christmas card swap on Facebook? I don’t know where it is! :o
    Do you need wrapping paper/bows/gift tags etc? No, just more sticky tape
    What Christmas cards do you need to buy/make? None, brought on sale in January :)
    Have you got enough stamps? Not yet


    Going to finish my coffee the load DW, TD, check washing on airers and put some more on if I can. It's far to damp and foggy out there to dare put any on the line.
    The DDs didn't have time to do their lists at the weekend so I'll re write those for this week. DD1 has a friend sleeping Friday night for her birthday so the bedroom has to be done!
    It's the boyfriendish (unsure if he's even that anymore :( ) mum's birthday this week so I need to go through the card box to see if there's anything suitable if not I might amble down the town.
    Need to find my other purse as it has stamps in it. I swapped purses when we went to Chessington and I can't remember where I put it :o
    Also need to pick up scripts for DD2 and myself from the Dr.

    :wave:Good morning everyone

    I'm in again this week. Thankyou for the list J xx

    I seem to have slept in this morning :o but I've not been sleeping well, so maybe it was just a 'catchup'; anyway I'm up now and I've decluttered breakfast, so I'll get dressed and crack on with my dailies.

    Hugs, spoons and sticks available to all who need them.

    xx
