    I realised that it was completely pointless cleaning the house top to bottom when DD had a friend coming around so I spent the day looking at estate agent websites :D I'm glad I did now, DD's room has just about every toy box out and the livingroom has bits of popcorn all over it :rolleyes: They're currently sitting watching Barbie & the Nutcracker and it's the quietest they've been since 3.20 when I picked them up :eek: They've got chips for their tea, and OH and I will either have chip sandwiches or stew.

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Im so glad its Friday - and just found out that DSs footie match has been cancelled tomorrow, so we have a morning at home!!!
    Managed to do everything i wanted to today, apart from the toilet ceiling - may do that in a minute tho, there isnt much to do, so shouldnt take me long.
    Also need to hoover, but DD is out at her club at the mo, so will do that later, as she is bound to make more mess when she comes in!!!

    I work 30 hours over four days - CTC people count that as full time so so do I. I come home at about six, cook, start laundry, wash up and start bread and then start moggins list. anything not done by nine gets carried over till the next day and i try to catch up on wednesday and at the weekend. Anything not done by Sunday night gets deleted cos i know it will come around again soon enough :D

    Anything you do to get done is something that wouldn't have changed if you'd done nothing.. be proud of the little achievemnts.. we are just sad and have nothing better to do than runabout the house all day mopping and twinkling and scrubbing.. we are just a bunch of scrubbers!!

    Keep it up.. and remember every little thing counts.. including washing yourself!![/QUOTE

    Hiya 5.gif

    Not promising much today - actually probably only what's already done LOL

    Laundry - one load hanging on airer
    Bed made
    Kitchen bench wiped
    DW
    Will have the boys do all the things in their bedrooms that I haven't gotten done over the past couple of days ;)

    Now I'm off to work with DH for the morning. Then this afternoon picking up new couch for my sister and delivering it to her place. I can imagine after that I'll be couching out in front of the TV. Well, we DO have to take a break sometime, don't we :)

    Ah but then you see i have only been "blessed" three times and not eight and two thirds of them have left home :D Also as a single parent I get Daddy Weekends off and can potter away singing to my mp3 player or listening to my DAB radio without anyone getting under my feet.
