Not too bad!

Anyway, good to see I can have a free day tomorrow (birthday)- no spare room and DD is supposed to do her own room - wouldn't dare go in there! May do the extra job as there are a few spots like that in my home and 15 minutes is nothing.

May pop on sometime tomorrow as I know I will not be able to resist seeing what everyone is up to, then up to London late afternoon for a bit of retail therapy, then meeting a friend for early supper and hopefully cheap theatre tickets.

Good night all

Had a huge tidy up today and made the kids help:p . Sons room was shocking now just awful. Daughter cleared kitchen but sent her back 3 times as she was being lazy about it. I cleared lounge, hall, master bedroom and bathroom. Will clean them at the weekend so long as they are tidy just now. Did some ironing, loaded DW did 1 load of washing. Made bread but forgot to put in the mixing paddle oops. Big mess . Never mind will just have to jump to shops in the morning for a yukky shop bought one. Anyway hope ou are all well and catch you later.xx

Morning everyone :hello:

Well I woke up at 6:15 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep but other than a quick swipe of the kitchen I haven't done anything yet as I've been enjoying having a cup of filter coffee in the peace and quiet before the kids wake up Aaaah hear that silence :rotfl:

Hugs to all who need them and I'll fly later and let you know how I'm doing kids bedrooms.....mmmmm DS will be quick DD :eek: and she has the most storage options :rotfl:

Well.. I refuse to do most of the bedrooms! Only the boys room is 'presentable ish' They don't have a door and I have just amde them bring all their laundry down.. and sent them back up to pick up toys.. I might be able to get the vacuum up there later.

My list from yesterday can be copied straight over as I did nothing all day. I walked to SIL's with him and picked up from school and a couple of loads of washing.. all needs doing again (apart from the SIL bit)
