    morning :hello:

    yet another early start [yaaawn] - 5.30! again :eek:

    BUT i s/s bathroom, unloaded d/w and i am dressed and washed :D

    did my evening 'routine' (it's not a routine just yet ;)) yesterday and it might actually work :think: - as i said: i am dressed :D
    kids clothes are ready for them to go in (after their breakfast of course!!)
    recycling is out (frees my kitchen surfaces) and floors are sweeped

    so a nice start to the day :)

    not sure what my list is for today. i can't handle 'a list' atm :confused:
    so i just report back as i go along

    OH is starting a new shift pattern on thursday. instead of 8hrs nights mo-fri - he'll be working 12hrs (6-6) nights in an odd pattern (like next week starting on thursday 3 on 1 off 2 on 3 off - and wanst to work that 1 off too :eek: - the money will be nice though :think:) - BUT that leaves me with the kids all on my OWN :shocked::confused: -
    well, i guess we adapt ...
    I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work ;)

    Morning, I like todays list, my dining room is fairly tidy, only a few plants, so will give me time to do the study as still needs work. Also I'm out all day tomorrow as the road is being tarmaced so all cars have got to go by 8am and cant driver back until 4.30pm, so might try to change our bedding as well today as I'm sure that will be coming up on the list soon.

    ..........just be careful using DW. Don't want to confuse a *dear wife* with a *dish washer* :rotfl: :rotfl:

    DH is my favourite. [showing my age now] It always makes me think of Ermintrude fro the Magic Roundabout, who called everyone *Dear Heart*.

    You mean like BM always rings breast milk and bowel movement in my mind.

    SC (slowcooker) says Silly *rude word*

    and OH says Old Hippy!!!!

    Pixxy my DH works that kind of system too and also does 12 hour shifts, he also worked overtime last night and is booked in for two more overtime shifts this weekend which is supposed to be his weekend off! He only gets one weekend off in a month so I am not a happy bunny.

    He hardly gets to see DD any more and I have to deal with absolutely everything around the house. I only married him because he knew how to mop a floor! And I divorced the other one because he was such a workaholic! Perhaps it's time for me to trade in again :D

    :confused: Don't most DH's confuse their DW with a dishwasher - and cook, cleaner, nursery maid, personal shopper, gardener and general Jill of all Trades - not our lovely male O/Sers of course :D
