Morning all
DS2&3 both off school with sore throats and coughs, so they are in bed. I've got a sore throat and earache myself but I'm up and at um, although not planning anything too strenuous.
Dailies almost done. Plan to do the 3 reception/study rooms and then the rest of the day doing paperwork.
I have ebay sales to pack and post too.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
I'm with you on that Cyclingyorkie - my DH leaves his shirts by the side of the bed and it drives me mad. Also he flings his underwear at the basket (at the end of our bedroom) - if it goes in great, if not he just leaves it. Makes me :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
Caz74 hope you feel better soon. Always horrid when a cold starts isn't it; wrap up and keep drinking hot drinks and don't forget your paracetamol!
MrsMoneypenny - you did do well yesterday! Don't envy you with 10 hours worth of ironing though. I like watching re-runs of ER on Sky Atlantic and tend to iron whilst that's on; fit Drs take my mind off what I'm doing
Sazzyb - lucky you going to New York! How long are you going for?
Jackywhizz busy day for you too. Hope you get the brakes sorted and also the funeral goes as well as can be expected.
It's trying to snow here but I must stick with my promise to clean out the chooks. They all laid yesterday and DD and I made some lovely buns thanks to their efforts
! The bathroom should be OK for me as did it yesterday but have lots of other stuff to do too:
* Typing (got 1 job and another on the way)
* Give DS his antibiotics at school at 1.00
* Clean all the mirrors
* Put away all Christmas stuff (still got cards on a top shelf that need to go into the loft and a few other bits and bobs on the drawers on the landing)
* Bag up more stuff for CS tomorrow on the way to swimming
* Check bank balance (sailing a bit close to the wind iykwim)
* And of course turn the chicken coop into a 5 star luxury hotel!
Best get off my bum and get going ....Flymarkeeteer: £168 and counting0 -

Morning all!
Another returner -to-the-fold here
- think I last was on here in Sept/ Oct maybe?:o Nice to hear of the new babies:)
My house is suffering at the mo and DH is extremely grumpy as a result so I really need to regain control over it. I've not even been swish and swiping regularly, so I'm adding that as an item to my list to make sure it gets done:o
I'm doing my bathroom in this bit - DD has her own ensuite and the 3 boys share a bathroom - they are responsible for cleaning their bathrooms on a weekend (although I empty the bins and change the boys towels - they'd use the same ones forever!!)

I have made my phone call about the tree-pruning, so that's one frog done, and also done some shredding so I have something to light the fire with tonight. I've been for a 2 mile walk, unloaded the DW and had breakfast. I've done LOTS of email filing and have now run out of excuses not to do some proper work, so I need to put the heating on (I can't manage without it if I'm at my desk all day), have a shower and put some washing on so I don't get behind.
Then deal with some outstanding work including preparing for a workshop I'm going to tomorrow evening :-)
Oh... and must get some logs in at some point, although I'll probably burn mostly coal this week while it's cold.0 -
