    You'll have to remember that I AM DUTCH! (and the Dutch are notorious for one thing only) :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Anyway... blushing all over and done with now.. I've spent the morning visiting MIL, and we just all got back in the house. I'm eating some lunch now and will get cracking with the cleaning in a few moments.

    Happy flying!

    But I have been out most of the day with DP and the boys, he's now took over kitchen with car stuff again and hope to get living room done when boys go to bed, aswell as the rest of it. Did manage to get DSs specs collected, go shopping in £1 shop etc while I was out :D

    I'm quite pleased with how much I've achieved considering I am still recuperating and the kids are home and DH in bed! The living room looks lovely and neat, the hallway is hoovered, the dining room is a little tidier, I have loaded and unloaded the dishwasher twice today and the WM has just gone on for the second time too. I cooked a huge pan of chicken curry around lunchtime which is a good job as I didn't realise DH had to be out the door at 5.30pm (he normally starts work at 9.30) So I already had the curry cooked and I pulled some rice out of the freezer and zapped it in the microwave.

    The kids have been fed and are now in bed so I've done the kitchen too. Now I'm going to put my feet up and watch Bones until 9 then I'll come back and post tomorrows list.
    Organised people are just too lazy to look for things
