    Morning all :hello:

    Tired today so don't really feel like doing much, just got back in from walking DD#2 to school which usually picks me up but it hasn't. Hopefully the coffee I've just made will do the trick. Thank goodness I don't have much to do today.

    Moggins list: When I read it was the master bedroom I said 'what? again?' :D doesn't it come round quick, thankfully as it's my old dining room it gets hoovered/tidied daily so just the bed sheets to change/dusting really. The cupboard under the stairs had a good clear out a few weeks ago and is still good, nothing new has been flung in there, so don't have that to do.

    my list:

    * Do brekkie dishes/dry/put away/ Done
    * mop living room floor (again) Done
    * mop kitchen floor (again)
    * hoover through downstairs Done
    * WM x 2 - one will be the sheets of my bed Done
    * TD x 2 - might poss hang the sheets on the line though, see how the weather is later Done
    * Make beds Done
    * tidy DD#2's room, there's always stuff on the floor every morning Done
    * Fold washing and put away Done
    * make the tea


    LJD1 (((((((((((hugs))))))))) thinking of you today :kisses3:

    shell that's great news, a good nights sleep works wonders

    Lovely photos everyone, if I had a digital camera I'd post some :)

    Hmpfff i'm not doing very well I'm afraid!

    Had to go out this morning.. shoe shop was having a sale and I'm looking for some new boots. Ofcourse they didn't have the kind I wanted.

    Grmbl... one whole hour wasted that I could have spent doing my bedroom!
    Did get some fruit on the market though..

    I'm having me a cup of coffee now, and then it's off to the bedroom. Quick swipe I'm afraid as I also have to get ready for work. And tonight is line dancing so no time there..

    AARRGGG why are the days not longer!?????

    Just having 5 minutes :D Phew, done dishes/living room floor/hoovered through/stripped my bed and put in washer/put rubbish out/dusted master bedroom

    nicki My teenie dyed her hair last week, it said dark brown on the box but when she came down it was jet black, and I mean JET, she looked like Elvira , oh how we laughed :D

    Also my OH is convinced I'm pregnant what with all this cleaning :rolleyes: er no!........:rolleyes: mind you it WAS the only time I cleaned, just decided enough was enough and it was time to take charge, a clean/tidy house makes for a clean/tidy mind or summat like that, and it's true :D

    Dds have both had their fringes cut (long overdue) and then we went to the zoo - had a great time and took a picnic - we have season tickets so free now too.

    Hee hee... think there must be something wrong with me today... I was just looking back all the flying you've all been doing (I do it too, I just do it quietly :D ) And when I read this I thought scaredy cat had been cutting her daughters' fingers! I think that says a lot about me. Good job I've not got children (yet! evil laugh... *mwah hah hah hah* )

    Hugs

    One load of washing done and on the line and the cats blankets just doing now.

    Won't change my bed today because I won't have room to dry it, I normally do it Saturday or Sunday. But I've dusted and vacuumed (all bedrooms) and vacuumed the landing that I didn't do yesterday (was it yesterday?).

    My understairs cupboard was done at Christmas to get stuff in and then again after when the stuff was used up, so that's OK.

    And I've made some orange muffins, they went a bit of a funny shape but they taste OK :D

    My hair has turned out okay even though I've done it myself :j Usually I have to get OH to attack the back of my neck & ears with nailvarnish remover but this time I managed to make less mess & do the clean up myself :D My hair is now the colour of mahogany furniture from Argos :rotfl:Just going to attempt to do something with my nails as they're a state. :o Now let me get one thing straight....it is NOT date night this week :p I was feeling lower than low last night and really cruddy so I decided to do something for me to make me feel better today...infact I'm thinking of painting my nails bright red next..I would paint them black but I haven't managed to spot any black nailvarnish for a while, I think all the EMOs have bought up the whole stock in Liverpool :rotfl:

    Oh well. I've decided that apart from the washing up and finishing of the lasagne EVERYTHING else can wait. I need my version of a duvet day which is me doing NOTHING :D Maybe I will do all the ebay listings tomorrow. This chilling out is making me feel much better. ;)

    Lil me - Hope you feel better soon bighug.gif

    Off to get some lunch before I attack my nails ;)
