    Iwanttosave .. that will be one VERY twinkly shiny super-flyed sink then.. you have an easy day tomorrow!!

    I'll add my list tomorrow when I have actually decided how much I want to do, if anything.. bedrooms still bearable.. girls room is a bit untidy, but there are 4 of them sharing a room.. and they are all under 10! Boys room has toys sprinkled about. I have thought about storage for the bunny food/litter/hay though.. so it is a start!

    My hallway newly painted looks fab.. any flying ideas how to paint cream over bright red permanent marker pen though?? And black marker pen on red walls.. shining on right through

    [STRIKE]WM's

    BM
    Fold [/STRIKE]and put away dry stuff
    Sort DS2 cupboard (he keeps putting on half mast pants!)
    Remove the clothing from the back room (looks like half a job but it isn't really because I will finish the room once I've done the clothing.)

    So much for the extra sleep I packed in over the last couple of days.. I went to bed at 1am.. and woke up at 6 having had a nightmare about losing my daughter :cry: and haven't been able to go back to sleep, I laid there and laid there and laid there some more, then I had to get up, check everyone is still breathing and decided I may as well come down because I'm just NOT asleep, so... 'IIIIIIIIIII'm off to load the Washer, the wonderful washer of Oz!' (singing before 8am.. is it allowed?)

    Singing before 8am is fine - as long as you wake everyone else up. I like it on the rare times when I have to wake the littles up - months of pent up revenge.

    I haven't got much of a kitchen either - rusty sink, oven and a table. No one could get my sink to shine but I will do my best. Spent most of yesterday digging in the garden so really need to get mr dyson out today.

    Singing is definitely allowed hun, as long as it's not in my ear as I have a migraine. I can now see to type but the only way I can get rid of it completely is to sleep so now I have to try and fit that in too :(

    Good luck to everyone with their fly missions today.

    I will have my shower by the end of this month if it kills me (or I have to sell the kids on e-bay :D)
