    This is why I'm just focussing on the office today . . .

    Also, what you can't see hidden behind the black chair, is a rubbish bin that the cats tipped over and played in this morning. Mess everywhere!

    ok.. ok.. ok... I'm up already!!!

    Actually I've been up half an hour and made sure everyone is dressed and brushed. I did end up chucking my beer in the loo last night.. word of warning.. however bad the indigestion is DO NOT take rennies when consuming alcohol.. it froths likes nobody's business.. straight out the top!!!

    THEN you have to wipe the loo down at 2am!!!

    The head is as always FINE, tummy was happy once the rennies and froth were ejected! My glued nail is however unglued and sellotaped back together, I hate breaking a nail!

    AND it is rainy today.. after the lovely (but FREEZING) sunshine yesterday.

    I don't want to be here...I want to be in bed warm and cozy and asleep. OH tried waking me up this morning but failed, so did the alarm clock but I was woken up by DD coming in to say she'd had an accident in her bed :( First time she's wet the bed in months, if not years! I'm putting it down to the fact she got into trouble last night for lying to her friends mum and me then getting me so worked up that I was ready to give her a smacked bottom in the middle of her classroom infront of her friends - can I just point out that I NEVER smack DD, I always use a time out or take something away or refuse to do an activity that she likes/wants to do - so she's grounded for 2 weeks :mad: She's nearly 6 (in 5 weeks time) and I'm having to implement grounding already :confused: Sooo my plans for the weekend have changed now as I was going to have her friend around for a couple of hours on Saturday so I could tackle the garden in peace :rolleyes:

    Anyways, enough rambling & complaining from me. My list for today is :

    Do some of the dreaded ironing need to first go out and buy an iron. I switched it on yesterday, and zilch happened. :mad: I was hoping it would last a bit longer so i could save up and buy a steam generator one, but don't think i can justify it while on maternity leave.
    Write a list of all things to take away for weekend
    Start putting out on spare bed
    put new tax disk in my car
    will also need to pack baby bag to go out
    and if i'm out to buy an iron i might as well pay the cheque into the bank today, and save doing that tomorrow.


    unfortunately i am behind where i wanted to be as the ironing was meant to be done while the baby was asleep last night, and with it not working i decided to just go to bed and do nothing.

    Oh well. Baby didn't wake up till 8:30 for some reason, so ,my timings of the day are already out, so i will have to see what fun i can now have today. ;)

    Yeah - Todays list is already done. I dont think I have 27 items left in the house to throw at way at the mo but have found another 5 things for ebay.

    Just done a quick S & S of kitchen, lounge and bathroom. Off to make beds.

    Other jobs

    Ironing from yesterday
    Put WM on - DONE
    Post Ebay parcel - ABOUT TO PACK UP
    List other items on ebay
    Prep Roast & Veg for tea
    Clean loos (S & S)

    Had an excellent day yesterday so am up to date with everything (I even made cookies!), due to lack of sleep I think I was afraid if I sat down I would nod off so just kept on the move all day instead.
    Right off upstairs will do quick loo check

    See you later!
