    AJmoney great progress. Well done!

    I have really enjoyed myself today, it is amazing how much I get done when I'm not trying to work out whether to clean of tidy or declutter. I am looking forward to getting my hands on the spare room as we will be completely sorted then. After that I get to spend time planning and creating our garden :j Our last house was so small that everywhere was cluttered so this is lovely.

    I have just S & S'd the kitchen so I am now doing nothing and enjoying it. The weekend job is the utility room.

    I lied, I have been quite busy since my last post. I have written a rather shirty letter to the company we bought the house from as they have been rather slow in sorting some things out...9 months too slow. I have sent a lovely (even if I do say so myself) RSVP for a friend's wedding. I have also finally sent an email to our wedding photographer to sort out getting a copy of the photos from our own wedding.

    Our living room is now clear of any piles of paperwork etc that I have been meaning to tackle for ages. I am now enjoying all the comedy that Friday night has to offer on tv.

    Kazmeister- he has swum every day this week because the heater was broken last week. On top of that he has his out of school swimming lesson that I pay for. I've spoken to his teacher today to inform her that he must shower to get the chlorine off. She was a bit dubious but I rolled up his trouser leg and she actually winced. After today he's back to just Tuesday and Thursdays. I will cream him 3 times daily and use the hydrocortizone x 2 a day so that should make some improvement by Tuesday.
    that must be really hard for him in.
    My house is just a big ball of MESS!!

    Been in bed for two days so nothing done. DH has done some stuff upstairs today though.

    Me, DH and DSS are going to do a whole house blast tomorrow morning to get back on track. With the three of us should only take an hour.

    Will be in bed for rest of day I think though.

    Love to everyone x
    Hugs for you thrifty-gal it must be really hard for you, getting so close to your due date.

    Evening

    Didnt get much done last night in the bedroom
    /[\QUOTE]

    :D
    Oh NO! That didnt even occur to me.

    Well another evening doing nothing apart from doing tea for DD and a new (to me) school friend. Spare chillli boxed up for the freezer. Now DH has got me watching some weird film that I am sure I will have nightmares about but its only a 12 rating. Some sort of mind games type thriller

    Aagh better go battery nearly flat.

    Catch up tomorrow

    Hi all, can anyone help? In the first post there is a link to Toots welcome post. In that post she mentions a Master list...but the link won't work, does anyone know where I can find the list? Thanks in advance x


    This is your own personal list of things you want to get done over and above the lists on here each week, so they will be different for everybody. Toots did hers by going round her home and making a list of all the jobs she wanted to do over the next few months or so. If you can tick them off gradually it helps you get your home the way you want it. :) It could be decorating, sorting out your bookcases, anything that you want to get done.

    Bossymoo I hope your evening was an enjoyable one and very well done for even getting as far as joining WAY.

    JoJo welcome back. You seem to be looking on the bright side of DD's decision and making the most of your time. I hope things work out for all of you.

    Most of my taxiing done, just DS1 to collect at about midnight.

    DS3 needs to be ushered to bed now, he'll sleep like a log.

    DS2 finished school today, just going in for exams now.

    kazmeister - thanks for much needed hugs, it is getting harder! Just over 4 weeks to go. I get really frustrated not being able to do simple things like cook a meal standing up, putting on socks, having a bath etc But I am excited to meet my little boy and about becoming a Mom :)
    Bossymoo - hope you had a good night

    In the end I spent the night cleaning as I just could not look at it anymore. But, will have whole weekend to chill!!

    Hopefully will be back on track for next week. Hope everyone has a fab weekend xxx

    Morning All :wave:

    I was woken by a horrible dream at 4.50 which involved someone beating up DH, his alarm went off at 5 so I got up and made his work piece then sorted washing, so WM & DW now on.

    Kids helped me in the kitchen last night, they wanted pancakes & I told them they had to wash up all the tins, pots etc that wouldn't fit in DW, and as a reward, I would make them pancakes. They loved it!!!! & were brilliant & no complaints, DS who is only five was making sure every bit of everything he washed was spotless, he must take after me :rotfl:. Here is whats left of my list after last night

    Washing basket will be emptied today, need to make the most of ouside drying as we have heavy rain warnings for tomorrow & I hate wet washing smell in the house:rotfl:. HAve a good day all, I may get back on later x

    Bossymoo - Hope you enjoyed your night out & it does you good x
