  • I swept and cleaned the floor beneath the sofa which has been out for about a week after my Christmas present a cooker arrived.
    Totally exhausted.:beer:
    Too tired cannot even think of the Level it is.
    The above efforts are an effort to get flat tidy and keep it that way, to persuade a man friend in pictures that I am a Domestic Goddess really.
    Any domestic efforts I expend cannot be compared to the industrious efforts of folks here. *takes hat off to everyone* I have so much to learn.
    Best wishes in domestic endevours to all.x

    Morning All

    WM and TD emptied and reloaded.
    DD's bed stripped
    Dinners done

    I'm dressed, kids are in the process and most of the bins have been emptied - just got to gather rubbish from upstairs as it's bin day today. Other than that I'm pretty much sorted for the day although I need to get my SW stuff as well.

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all,

    Ooo my comma key is working again. I think Ds1 must have fixed it, good job really because he was doing a massive essay on here last night. Nothing like leaving it to the last minute. Can't think where he gets it from. :cool:

    I've topped up his dinner money and he's gone off to catch the bus. Ds2 is still in bed, he doesn't go back until tomorrow. I'm just scoffing some toast with blueberry jam and then i'm going to make a start on something.

    Just wrote a huge post and it disappeared :mad: oh well I'll shorten it this time.
    I'm in this week though I'm still not well and now I think I have an ear infection coming :(

    We spent Sunday at my parents having a Harry Potter fest :D mostly done for my dad so he could see them all but it also gave my mum a chance to read some of the book we got her for Christmas. It might sound stupid but since my dad became brain damaged he gets a bit funny about her doing certain things - mostly things he can no longer do himself so she doesn't get much "me" time.
    Yesterday we went to my friend's house as it was her birthday then back to my parents for the last 3 H.P films :D
    So that's been 2 days I haven't had to cook :j

    My girls go back to school tomorrow so lots to do today including packing the decs away which got delaid by Harry :p Their room also needs a proper blitz and I'm going to help :eek: which they're going to hate :D;)
