  • no catches with pigsback. Some people prefer to have a different email address so you don't have to read rubbishy emails that you sign up for Personally, i just do the quizzes, and i have won 3 since august last year, and then get boots vouchers so i can buy things for the baby. I must have had about £60 of vouchers in 7 months.


    Woke up to the sound of baby talking to himself, which just put a huge grin on my face. Now how can anyone moan about getting up to that. :confused: We've both had our beakfast. The WM is about to go on. Then i'll be waiting for DH to surface to actually get anything proper done.

    I managed some things off my list yesterday, but got engrossed in a book, so i finished that off last night. So, nothing apart from the baby to distract me today. ;)

    Morning. Three loads of washing on the line, only a little bit frozen :D

    Just draped vinegar soaked kitchen roll round my bathroom taps so I'm hoping they will be scale-free later today. I washed my hands well but I still feel like I smell vinegary.

    Vegetables prepared for lunch but not time to start cooking yet. Not planning to do too much else today.

    Good morning everyone,

    Had a lovely lie in this morning - didnt get out of bed until 9.15 (wish i had managed to sleep all night, but never mind!!) So, i stripped the bed and its now hanging outside - it is a lovely day down here.
    Made waffles for breakfast, and we have had a really slow morning - but i have now emptied and started reloading the DW, and im about to go and clean upstairs. Will be back later, once ive done a bit more!!!

    Just cleaned off my taps. They're not perfect but they're much better. I'll have another go next weekend. Why do the cold water taps get worse than the hot water ones?

    Emptied all the inside bins, I had vinegary kitchen roll to get rid of so I thought I'd better empty the bathroom bin and then I just carried on.

    Dinner cooking now, making my stomach growl smelling the roast potatoes!

    Woke up to the sound of baby talking to himself, which just put a huge grin on my face. Now how can anyone moan about getting up to that.

    Believe me after 4 years of it the novelty wears off:p . I agree nothing like a babys babble it really is a beautiful sound.

    Work again today so this morning before I set off I

    Put wash on & pegged out
    Put BM on
    Hoovered downstairs
    Dusted lounge
    Swished and swiped bathroom

    made more cookies when I got in from work yest as Fridays batch had all been scoffed!

    The jungle climber was collected yest and the little tikes house sold for what I wanted so very happy with that. Plus DH got more than he wanted for his PSP (hopefully buyer will pay today so I can arrange collection via courier for tomorrow morning).

    Have got removals coming next week to give quotes (posh company and local bloke). So hoping to get boxes and then plan to use moggins daily list to pack, as in, lounge - do cleaning and pack box of non essentials. Does this sound like a good idea?? Also hoping to find more items to freecycle or ebay, decluttering as I go.
  • Woke up to the sound of baby talking to himself, which just put a huge grin on my face. Now how can anyone moan about getting up to that.

    You're absolutely right.:D The only thing is when little one actually begins to talk make sure you teach them Daddy first. My ds learnt Mummy first and now does what we call The Mummy Mantra in the morning. It was really cute initially but the continual mummymummymummymummy till I go in for him is a little wearing especially @ 5am!:D

    I've done most of my dailies but as it's so nice today we're going for a walk when ds wakes up from his nap which should be any time now.

  • Good afternoon all. Weekends are my busy time for flying unfortunately. Kids are away with their dad for a couple of hours so I have been cracking on and have just stopped for a cuppa. Ok so far I have been to swimming with DS. Went to church. Made bread. Done 2 loads of washing. Stew in SC for tea and should make a couple meals for freezer. Master bedroom really gutted,bed stripped and hoovered, floordrobe put away, all lo's carp removed to their rooms and some stuff sorted out for e-bay. Bathroom cleaned, just floor to go, filing all up to date. Just going to get my long duster now and hunt out cobwebs then tidy DS's room and hoover hall and mop all floors. Phew!! But will be good when it is all done then tonight I can iron whilst watching tv. Then collapse lol Take care all xx

    Lil me I hope your place is ok but how on earth do you set the BM on fire??

    Pigpen I hope you had a good night last night.
