    Thanks to all at FLC,.
    Attempted to post this so many times but computer keeps freezing. Spending the half term being with the children and trying to get on top of the house as plan on doing some DIY over the Easter holidays. Wow impressed with what i have managed to do, especially as the children are off too. Have even managed to get all the beds done too so washing will be up-straight. Just need to get going on the ironing. Will do that tomorrow night, I hope.

    Am at work but washed this mornings cups before leaving and put the baby bottle steriliser on, put bin out at front. This aft I'll do some sweeping, clear a hotspot, do a wm load, give te tots some dusters and wipe round switches etc. Bath night tonight so we'll have some fun in the bubbles and 'swimming' lol

    This is my first week, and I don't feel overwhelmed at all. I don't have lots to catch up on, but just back to work last week so want to stay on top :D

    thanks but im sure it needs to be a harder one..gentle might not work:)
    *Picks up thigh-length stiletto boot* mummyroysof3 do I need to throw this at you? Be warned, I'll have to throw it right-handed, so I might not be very accurate!:rotfl:

    I'm lounge-ing today. As in cleaning the lounge, not lounging around.;) I'll still have to dust round the large dragons, but it had a very thorough do last week, with Mr LW's help, so hopefully it'll be OK.:o

    Anyone want to join me for aHHC before lunch, starting 11:45, to get a good start on dust-bunny eviction?:o

    Good morning all, late joining this week due to half term. Thanks to JJ for the lists.
    I wanted this week to be a big clear out but as always things don't go to plan!!
    I have made a start by listing some bits on gumtree but to be honest I just want them gone, so going to give them to the end of the week and then they're off to the charity shop.

    Hope you are all well and hugs and spoons to those in need xxx

    Concentrating on the spare (RoD) room and DD's room............she wants it decorated but can't face painting so going to update with new bedding (bought in B&M's) and some wall art that I'm going to get from ebay. She has been told that it needs a good clear out first though.

    Mum is having trouble trying to get a visa for upcoming holiday....she is going to have to go to London for an interview with the US Embassy.......seems too much hassle to me........be better off going to France!!

    Anyhoo.........on with the lists........xx
