    Just having some lunch.

    Oven racks in the bath and oven has cleaner on it.

    WM done

    Just finished clearing out the cupboard under the sink (Iknow it was on the list the other week but I didn't do it then) so I can put all the kids' painting stuff under there in a big tub.

    I've got until about 2.30 then I'll go fetch DD from school then straight to my parents' house for tea:j

    Just having some lunch. I've managed to photograph about 50%+ of the stuff to go on ebay, Turbolister is now saying 26 items waiting to list..still loads more to go :eek: Starting to flag so after I've eaten I'm going to do some more dishes (yes I'm actually CHOOSING to wash dishes :eek: ) then I might be rejuvinated enough to carry on. I really need to get through these last items before DD comes home as there are some toys in there thats shes outgrown but doesn't know I'm getting rid of :shhh: I've already finished filling one box with stuff to go to the charity shop at the weekend (OH can do it in the car) so I'm wondering whether I'll end up filling another one :rotfl:

    Right, lunch done so I'll finish my drink while having a very quick mooch around here then to those dishes! I WILL have a clear sink by the time I go to bed tonight with or without OH's help! :mad: :wave:

    I havent'done any cleaning yet (and it shows!!UGH!) because I am busy painting the hallway.
    And of all the times in the year it has to be this one that my baby girl has chosen that she doesn't need afternoon naps anymore!

    AARRRGGG!! Why will this child not go to sleep so I can get some work done!
    She has been singing in her bed for an hour now so I did do some painting.. but i have to go get her out again now.. she's wide awake.. can't leave her up there when she's not sleeping right?

    I love that little darling, but there are times when I wish I could take the batteries out for a few hours..

    I haven't done any cleaning yet because I have been sat on my backside all day! o: At least you're doing something useful!

    I've managed the washing up and to make some pumpkin soup. Soup was not good; too sweet (bleurgh) so I substitued it for a can of coke and two wagon wheels. :rolleyes:

    I accidentally got sent 2 isofix car seats instead of 1, so I've just, erm, put the spare one on ebay. :o

    I am a very bad girl today.

    Hey Shell! It is very quiet on here. I'm having a dreadful day. Man came from BG and still cannot fix heating :mad: and I've had to cope with a sulky son and my not so fun inlaws today. I've done no Flying except cooking them toad in hole and pancakes and I'm knackered. Need Flyboy or Pigpen to cheer me up or a joke from Ladygrim. ;)
