  • Very jealous, well done you, did I make it too easy;)


    No :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I just had time to do it as I was avoiding doing what I should have been doing ;):o:p No excuses now as it's all done :cool: (although as it is after 5pm on a Friday a bottle has already been cracked open so no studying will get done until tomorrow now!)

    Evening ladies

    Didnt get on last night, AF arrived and was a particularly nasty mood so I got a takeaway tea and put my feet up. However today I have decided that as I am the only one here for tea (DH at work, DS at GF, and DD gone to Nando's with friends :eek:) that I will definitely get some flying done so that I can chill out a bit more tomorrow as back to work Sunday again.

    Unfortunately I cant find what I have already done this week with out going back through the posts and then I'll get caught up with more reading other posts so am starting from scratch and I will get the majority done.

    So if anyone wants to do a HHC from 7 then I will be working my little socks off once I have changed into PJ's and Uggs for comfort.

    Top hallway hoovered, and carp cleared

    Spare room, all clean clothes relocated to relevant rooms, hoovered and general tidy. Dusting can wait until someone is due to use it or I can write my name in it :D

    Washing rounded up

    Am boiling now so going to go downstairs for a drink of some sort and will sort washing at same time. Nice to 'see' youre all relaxing on a Friday night :rotfl:

    Didn't get chance to pop back after the HHc, got the bits done that needed to be done, also put the tea out, other odds and sods, had a bath, ped-egged my feet and cut my toe-nails.

    OH watching some chinese subtitled film so I'm gonna window shop on t'internet...

    .....till tomorrow ladies when it's washing day, bathroom day and errands day, night :wave: x
