Good morning everyone,

Right, plans for today are the living room - will dust hoover (move the furnature, not just hoover around them!!!) will check for loose coins, but never find any (dont get many visitors, and i never have any!!!) and will def do the skirtings and dado rail in the hall today as well. Will also be doing some cooking, so the kitchen will prob need another clean.
Havnt done anything so far today, other than get dressed and have a cuppa - going to have another cuppa whilst the children are still in bed, then i will get them up and start!!!!
Hope everyone has a good day xxxxxxxx

I am SO disheartened this morning!

There is just so little time each day, and I am so tired!

The house is turning into a tip again, as the family is totally non cooperative.
for two days I've been a little down (PMS) and not all that active, and BOOM! like a bomb has hit the place!

I find the kids doing very strange things again, just because I'm not checking up on their every move. (wet towels get left in schoolbags, lunchboxes unpacked, lunch from yesterday not even eaten still sitting in it... etc.)
DH showed great spirit over the weekend by helping with the washing. I had it ALL done! Washbasket was empty! Last night I went into the bathroom to brush my teeth and I could hardly walk in there from all the dirty clothes and towels on the floor! And DH has gone back into a state of doing nothing. Did he get into unpacking the DW before going to work (we run it during the night)... well he's completely given up on that again now... The kitchen looks like it exploded now..

It's been raining for almost a week straight now and I am completely fed up with that!
I am tired!
I hoovered downstairs yesterday, but if you look at my floor now, you'd think I've not done anything in a week! (with the rain, everybody trapes mud in..)

I think i'll move to a little cottage in the middle of nowhere.. Just me, myself and I. Sorry for the moan.. just going to have meself a wee cry I think.

Oh Moggins - not the understairs cupboard of doom i beg you:eek:
This is known as the eff-off cupboard in my house - as in "will you look for the whatever under the stairs?" "eff-off!" Spiders and goblins live there! Oh well if you insist - i may be gone some time!

Time for family meeting, me thinks..... sis Take time for yourself, after all it is only a house, you will get burned out and then where would they be? There is always a little retreat here in Scotland for you....;)

Thanks Sis!

I just don't have the time!!
Kitchen is rescued again now, so I'm taking me a cup of coffee and a wee read here.
Tonight I've got dancing lessons (I LOVE that. that'll cheer me up)
Tomorrow night there's meetings at the various schools (the draw back of having loads of kids.. LOADS of teachers to speak to!)
thursday night is dance lessons again... Friday night DH is out..

And I'm away from the house 5 hours a day going to work. I'm just fed up!

(hmmmm lovely coffee)

If I had the money, I'd book me a week in beautiful, lovely Scotland for next week! Only trouble is, I'd come back to find the house exploded, and the kids still wearing the same clothes as they did when I left!
My DH is a darling and I love him to bits, but he's got NO sense sometimes..
