    I did the boys room today.. kind of!
    I'm NOT doing the oldest 2's rooms because they are too big to have mummy picking up their skids.
    The girls room is being left until a weekend when everyone can muck in.

    The cot which I put in the skip this afternoon and was there at 7pm has now GONE!! .. it doesn't even have any screws, some people must be very needy.

    Mark Science books as meant to do it Monday and is still not done.

    Now, the other thing is I have a problem with the 27 fling boogie, mainly because I am a "chucker outerer" anyway and throw things when they need to go. How do you find 27 things to throw away on a regular basis?


    Fairly productive day but still don't know what a floordrobe is? And OH has come home tonight (I was expecting hiim to be away) and undone lots of my good work. How do you stop your OHs messing everything straight back up?

    As far as I know, a floordrobe is what you get when you chuck your clothes on the floor instead of hanging them up or putting them in the drawers :D
  • Thanks Pollybear and Moggins of course!

    Ah, thanks, well at least I don't have that job to do. I hate putting clothes away but always FORCE myself to do it. It is the one job that takes a lot of effort.
