    Pigpen can I just ask- ignore me if it's too much of an imposition. I think I remember you saying last week you have ten children I get confused with squeak and dot are they your littlies? X

    Squeak is almost 21 months and Dot is 7.5 months.

    Decluttered a couple of digestives after almost collapsing in the kitchen with just me and Dot in the house.. cuppa made.. wet duvet hung to dry (it was washed not wee'd) and WM refed and TD pinged back on.. gloomy here today again :(

    Orthotics for Moomins boots after school then nipping to drop some bits at DD1's.. more flinging!

    I want to get the yoke of the baby cardy finished today and start on the sleeves.. I will have a few more done by the time DD1 pops (she has 6 weeks left and DS1 has 14).

    Ran out of steam last week, just kept on top of things so everything is ok, not fantastic but I wouldn't be embarrassed if I had an unexpected visitor ;) I have a huge pile of ironing and a lot of studying to do so that will be my priority but I am also going to try to finish the lists.

    Thanks for the lists Dusty and Juliejim :)

    yI can't copy and paste tuesdays list into my post, what am I doing wrong or is there an easier way?

    I am flying already and I have already done the HH clothes pick up only I split it into 2 x15mins.

    So overall a good start, just taking a breather and a 'power nap' and will continue. I WILL NOT BE BEATEN!:rotfl:


    Thanks Mrs Moneypenny, thats what I was doing but my copy option wouldn't highlight! Tried again following your instructions but with the same results!!:(

    I have bunged some clean odd socks in my pocket and when I am passing anything dusty I put a sock on my hand and BINGO! another shelf wiped:j I have made up another spray bottle of white vinegar and water to keep upstairs, so with trusty socks and solution the mirrors are gleaming. No effort at all. I have taken plenty of breaks and had 2 power naps. Thank You all so much for the motivation, the tips and the encouragement. You really are the BEST:beer:
  • Welcome to all the newbies and congratulations to the 2 pregnant ladies.

    Vanilla - well done to DD
    Pigpen - sorry to hear about DS3, hope it turns out ok, DD3, she will grow out of it, but 'till then be strict. I think you know all that anyhow.

    mias nanny i just highlight the new list and click copy then find my previous post with the list/s ive been working from in click quote to bring up a new box then click paste to put the new list in as well.
    then its just a cas of removing the quote marks and prevois days chat before posting the message.
    not sure how clear that is to follow maybe someone else has an easier way to explain it.
