    Ive been flagging as well today, I am going to blame it on being the end of the month ;) Tomorrow is a fresh start so perhaps we will all get renewed energy to keep going.

    After taking the car for repairs and nipping to the shop to get some more school trousers for DD I don't seem to have done much else. Felt shattered this afternoon and decided to have a nap, which I never normally do.

    The kids are in the bath with their hair baking in nit shampoo (why is it that those of us that keep checking their hair seem to be forever treating and combing the blighters out :( )

    After they have gone to bed I need to get some more pics and ads ready for ebay and pack todays sales. Will be back to check on the tomorrow's list later.

    Would someone care to tell me WHY my daughters shoes are on the pc shelf??? WHY there is an empty cereal bar box on top of the printer?

    And WHY I have done nothing all day? (other than I have headache)

    You have a headache! That's why!

    And why am I here???

    Those pictures show the cleaned up version of my living room!! :rotfl:

    Honestly, my sister can confirm that my lovely dark blue couch was almost never visible! I'd litterally have to scoop crap and clothes off of it to make space to sit.
    So I am delighted that now it looks like this. Shame me into keeping it that way!

    Have to love you for showing those pics though! you are soo brave!
    and it deserves respect that it's not worse with everything you've got going on in your life.

    *hugs*

    You can (or rather can't) see my sofa in the pic on the left!!

    I have another one just the same, except the sofa is brown lol.

    Honestly I AM queen of the piggies.

    I'll go find you a pic of the sofa from the old house.. before I became even remotely domesticated and was an utter sow!!

    Gimme 2 minutes.. I'll be back!

    Oh yeah, your daughter's shoes are on the pc shelf because it probably was the nearest available space on her way in. And the cereal box on the printer? EASY! Person starts a print job, decides to have a bowl of cereal while waiting. Printer is finished just as cereal is in the bowl, person runs to the printer to stop the printjob falling on the floor, and ploinks the box down to catch the paper. Then person goes off and do his thing with the printed work and forgets all about the cereal and the box.

    OK Sister, (Becca) Show off!! I am very proud of you babe, your living room looks really nice.. (and where did you hide my wee darling) is she not allowed to play with Dora anymore now that everything is so tidy ;)

    I go to work for a day and I now I have to wade through 4 pages of super flying from you all. You have all done so great.

    I came home from work/picking kids up from school, put WM on, dusted the dining area but have kept it tidy all week so not that much to do. While the tea was cooking, ironed today's washing (3 items) and put away

    The insurance man came tonight and all I had to do was run the hoover over the living room floor, NO stress or embarrasment, so good :D

    Daillies:

    Swish and Swipe bathroom
    Hoover
    Moggins list
    WM
    Ironing
