AnwsMum have you tried online for downloads of the programmes for the router. Most companies offer this now.
Shirley, don't panic honey those rooms will be on next weeks list so don't go OTT on catching up.
Pigpen, sounds eventful, bet you're pleased to be home! Hope tummy sorts itself soon. Cattle prods staying with Moggins, I'm only the temp babysitter (:p) until Moggins is sorted.
Right well I did get to the bottom of the basket, but son making flood this morning has made more washing, so that's on now. Have prepared most of dinner. Got kitchen to sort, it's a tip. Desks looking that way too. Need to get a tape measure out, measure each room upstairs and all the furniture and see if my room plans I made at 2am when DS2 was awake will work! Downside is if we swap rooms mine will be bigger for us to make a mess in and more to tidy up :rotfl: Ironing of uniforms needs doing, bah I hate ironing. Might make some muffins as I put coconut in the last batch and DS1 spat them out! Must do lunch box jellies before I forget!
Right best get a wriggle on. Don't forget those uniforms etc tonight everyone!One day I might be more organised...........

moggins - just caught up on the thread. babe, i'm so sorry. you must be going through it at the moment. let me know of anything i can do.((((hugs))))
punky - re: ironing. i only do the absolute necessities. so, i only iron one or two skirts and some linen trousers i have! and i just do them on the bed as and when (i probably iron abour 2 things a month!!!). i hang stuff up to dry inside the house, and to be honest i notice very little difference that its not ironed. i certainly think that a few tiny creases are worth having rather than hours of ironing!!!Mum to gorgeous baby boy born Sept 2010:j0 -

Not been around over the weekend so only just seen Moggins post - my heart goes out to you. Many years ago I got out of a bad relationship (my daughter was just a baby) and I know how tough it can be, but I came through it and am now stronger and happier (in fact have just spent the weekend with a wonderful new man but that's another story!!).
In just a couple of weeks you have helped me get my house in some sort of order and feel enthusiastic and excited each time a new post comes up with the next list. You help alot of people and we all appreciate you - there will surely be lots of good times ahead of you as you deserve them.
Good luck to you.Proud to be dealing with my debts0 -
Hey everyone :j
I'm still in London. not at home. We were meant to be back by now, but then went out for lunch, which ended up taking 4 hours. So, as the in-laws are back off hols tomorrow, we decided to take the extra day and stay to see them. We'll have to go back tomorrow to release the cats from the cattery prison.
I haven't been lazy though. I've fly-ladied the kitchen here as my BIL and girlfriend haven't done it in a month, and i wasn't preparing baby bottles there.
Moggins big hugs to you. I hope you end up somewhere suitable for you and your kids, particularly your DS. Don't know what to say to you, but if i can be any help, please say, as you are always so thoughtful towards us.
Will be able to rejoin the flying on Tuesday. This week's challenge is that DH's aunty and uncle will be visiting on Friday, and as they haven't been to the house before i want it to be ship shape.
Big hugs to everyone,
Michelle, x0 -
Went to farmers market today and bought £5 worth of potatoes and loads of carrots. Potatoes turned to mush when boiled grrrrrrrr. I could have got twice the amount of potatoes in ASDA for that and they would have boiled beautifully. Was trying to support local growers but doubt I will do it again as I need to save money. Hate when pots go to mush
Anyway washing almost up to date, ironing almost upto date. Most of the house tidy. Hall cupboard cleared out. Under stairs cupboard half done. Some of large kitchen cupboard done.
