    CAB lady very nice - took DD1's history, photocopied the paperwork and they will be in touch when they have worked out whether to refer her on to someone they know or keep in house.

    Came back via station to get DD1 a railcard - needless to say I paid (another £28!)

    Now having belated lunch:eek:;) at 4.40!

    have booked DS into dentist's for Wed - suddenly he has toothache now that the tonsilitis is on the wane..... Poor kid - he has never had a filling and he hasn't had a/b's in the last 10 years! He gets a new job and then suddenly everything goes wrong! Fingers crossed nothing else happens!

    more wakeup vibes for Ed! My sister is a trained theatre nurse - she always said they never shouted at teenagers to wake them - instead they washed them! Maybe we should have bedbath vibes for Ed instead...

    wow holly you did fantastically in your HHC
    glad you had a nap when ben dd seafarer sleepis more important

    waxed and cleared the didning table just got to rehome the clutter that accumulated on it all it has on now is the fruit bowl some candles and the salt/pepper pots. need to find the table mats

    was thinking the other day about a teenager i read about in a similar situation to Ed, his family had tried everything tapes of them talking tapes of his favourite music nothing seemed to stir him. then somehow a tape got mixed up and it was 'oldie music his parents listened to that he didnt like. the result the teenager stirred mumbling "will someone turn that off!"
    i pray Ed wakes soon

    am just finishing my HHironing had a break to sew on a button for DD

    neither of the kids that have come home so far have commented on the kitchen floor and they've obth been in the kitchen LOL

    I am feeling disgusting today.. I have had ear ache for days and today I am feeling really dizzy and nauseous along with it.. then the fan farrier ring saying they have a cancellation tomorrow at 9:30 so do i want that rather than the wednesday appt I am psyched up for.. no thank you!


    Sorted opticians for DD3 and DD5, rang to find out when DS3s appt is at diabetic clinic, chased WM repair.. apparenty my machine has been written off.. so they are sending me a cheque for £350.. so being sad I am REALLY tempted to get a 2nd 12kg machine.. and a 2nd TD. Me?.. Excessive?? Surely not!!! put all appts into my phone.. I get a day off in 3 weeks and 2 days!!!!!!!!!!


    Best go do dinner seeing as noone else appears to be volunteering.. lets hope I am not sick in it or have a dizzy do and fling it on the floor!

    more chance of said pigs flying than help from this lot!

    my 18 month old helped by closing the oven door!

    dinner in.. freezer crap but if they wanted cuisine they shoud do it themselves!

    TD emptied, stuff folded and refilled.. so much washing!

    dd2 credit topped up.. that has got rid of her for the next 4 weeks!

    I'm sort of in this week. I'm really struggling to get motivated at the moment - I think perhaps its the cold weather, but I just cannot be bothered with anything. :( The house is clean-ish, the usual hotspots are still there & I'm sat in my room of doom trying to ignore the piles of paperwork that needs sorting.

    I am going to try to keep up with level 1 - anything else is a bonus ;)


    Level One
    [STRIKE]Wipe the table and work surfaces[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Sweep/Hoover/mop the floor[/STRIKE] did this on Sat so doesn't really need doing again
    Level Two
    [STRIKE]Wipe the hob[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]HHI[/STRIKE] did all of it last night
    Level Three
    Sort your store cupboard/baking cupboard/ladder and meal plan
    HHMe time for everybody
    Extras
    [STRIKE] HHPaperwork or bill paying/budget updating[/STRIKE]
    Dust any surfaces which need it
    Dry any doormats/boots etc which have been left wet from the snow

    I also cleaned out the minging microwave:eek:

    Ruth x



    My Feb list:
    1. Do RTM accounts
    2. Enter my parents accounts onto Sage
    3. Sort DD's Birthday party/ present
    4. Organise all the other birthdays this month & make sure cards & gifts are sent in good time.
    5. Lose 3lbs to get back to SW target & finish the 30 day shred
    6. Sort stuff for school trips
    7. Ebay 10 items
    8. Sort holiday photos
    9. Bank kids Xmas cheques
    10. Sort kids clothes & toys for the Spring NCT sale. I need to be ruthless as we have far too many kids clothes :o
    10lb to lose & keep off in 20204.5lb/10lb:rotfl:
