    pigpen: i am amazed that that little 'monkey' didn't vanish under that mountain ;) - she does look cheeky!

    wow! some amazing transformations happened here! great pictures everyone :T

    haven't done much today. but ds is at nursery in the afternoon so it's our time :D - played some games with OH online and watches some of our so endless recoreded series. that actually is kind of cleaning ;) (watching and deleting :D)

    played lots with the kids!!!!

    but did also a few things around the house
    kitchen is clean, d/w un-reloaded, floors swept, toys off the floor, s/s bathroom, cleaned downstairs toilet, 3 x w/m, 2 loads dried-folded-and put away, shopping got delivered earlier and is put away
    so not too bad really :j
    I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work ;)

    wow pigpen - i am so jealous. I am one of 8 kids myself and love being from a big family. I would have loved to have had a large family but dd is an ivf baby so we only got started late. Ds came as a wonderful shock when dd was 17 months old and i would love another one or 2 but as i am 41 time is passing and so i count my lucky stars i have 2 wonderful healthy children....

    but your picture has got me broody... off to try and tempt OH to an early night!!

    Thanks for posting the lovely story pigpen.:T
    No flying for me today - cough still very bad, work still very busy. Have just done dailies and (pathetic really) wiped thick decorating dust off about 40 leaves on my weeping fig, which is still living on hob. It was a housewarming gift from a very good pal who's now dead, so it deserves care.
    Still living only in bedroom but ordered new sofa today (3rd I will have ever owned, 1st brand new one ever). Happy flying all of you.

    Pigpen - what a lovely family you have - no wonder you are so proud of them!!!! I wouldve loved more children, but wasnt meant to be, but more than happy with the 2 i have - they make me very happy.

    Pleased with tomorrows list - i do the bedrooms at the weekend, due to looking after the LOs, so apart from the bedding and dailies, i can concentrate on any hot spots i come across (that or MSE, wonder what will win???)
