    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Good to see you back, Piggers! It makes a change from the place being under a sea of gibble and carp if he sets foot inside.


    But then again, I suppose if it looks like I've been out living the old rock n roll lifestyle :whistle:, that can't be too bad, either. As the peak of his weekend was apparently the OH baking a lemon cake for him :D

    I think I might just to wander off and murderise the Ninja Kitten. The other cats are all sitting on sofas and the coffee table staring at me as thought to say 'tell him!'. His body clock is worse than mine.

    Oh, no need. He has come to me, and is currently wrapped around my foot trying to remove my toe. And the other cats breathe a sigh of relief at seeing this and relax back down to sleep. Nice to know whose side they're on.

    Lol.. We heard a God almighty thump from the girls room about midnight and rushed upstairs thinking Moomin had fallen off the top bunk.. we found 3 very asleep girls in beds.. and 3 very unasleep cats tearing around the room killing each other.. they just looked at us like we had no right disturbing their game..

    This lappy is floofed.. half the letters work interrmittently or type double when they should be single so it is taking so long to type a post I have not had the time or patience to post more than a facebook status in weeks. (to illustrate the point.. single I just had to type 3 times before it had all 6 letters!)

    I have terrible trapped wind stomach pains this morning.. af tomorrow then.. best get a shifty on with this infernal list!

    OH has been delegated a chunk for this morning.. namely posting and watch battery and the important part of that.. getting Squeak out of the house!

    This lot are full of it this morning, I am fit to kill already.. Moomin set her alarm for 6:30 so I have been up since then and had about 2.5 hours sleep! I am not going to be pleasant by lunchtime.

    Ok, school run done......very lazily dropped her by the gate instead of parking and walking across... the car park is a nightmare.

    HHC starting at 9, then on to studying.........xx

    Why does the house always look like a state after the weekend?! I have to get to grips with the kitchen as it looks like a bomb has hit it, before I even begin the list.

    Eeeek! The list looks long today. Still it should only really be a swish and swipe and general tidy in those areas. I hope!

    I've also done 3 loads of washing and washed the shower curtain.

    Very pleased with progress today :)
    Full LBM 26 Sept 11
  • DS and DD2 decluttered to work/school, DD1 woken up! Massive bowl of washing up done and last nights leftovers chopped up and in a saucepan with some veg and stock - these will shortly be transferred to the slow cooker and I can say that tea is sorted!

    Still struggling with winter bugs - DD2's nemesis, her tonsils, are red and swollen and this cursed cold will not let me go!

    Didn't help that OH snored all night! I will get him to the doctors at some point - it's either that or he sleeps on the sofa!

    The DD's tidied their room yesterday - they've done a grand job! Now I have to drag the dyson in there and really get it clean!

    Will probably be off list today but will be flying nonetheless!
