    Hi peeps

    Came home from work via the dentist to find doogie home alone. DS is at his dads, have since found out DD is at a friends and DH is still in the pub where he has been since he met my friend (male otherwise I would have something to say) since 1230 :eek:

    Needless to say there is wet washing in the machine, breakfast stuff in the sink and DD's cooking stuff from last night lurking on the draining board. Is it any wonder I give up sometimes.

    I have no idea who if anyone is coming home for tea so I guess Ihad better start with the washing then bath the dog who stinks - I think she had an upset tummy last night :( and then get on cleaning up this sty as noone else is.

    Love and huggles

    Have flashed all my bannister and spindles down. Flash with febreeze. Whole house smells nice!

    Then lady from up the road popped round to arrange playdate, our sons get along really well so they are coming Sunday for a little tea party... She's lovely but I always feel exhausted after, she talks at a hundred miles an hour, her life seems very chaotic... Maybe she needs flying lessons, lol?

    Think I'll empty the DW and head upstairs with a DVD and see if I can do some more flinging. I did a mini fling in the kiddies wardrobes this aft which was good. DD has grown out of her grobags now, and it's too warm anyway. Think we've finally trained her to not kick the quilt off. Also some fleecy sleep suits she had in winter, no way will they fit her next winter.

    Was at Mr S earlier, just getting a few supplies so we can avoid shopping over the bank hol. Bought dd some tshirts in 18-24mths and DS some shorts in the same size. The man asked me if I had twins lol. DS isn't particularly little, quite tall actually, but he has no bum, and without a nappy, all the 2-3 and 3-4 shorts just slide off him haha, he's nearly 3 and a half and can fit shorts he wore two years ago... Just as well his legs have grown though...

    Anyway, minifling done, might go do some more.
    Night all

    Evening all very civilised time at the cricket watching red kites (well it was civilised until DS3 hurled his bat as he left the field in temper). Just having our supper then bedtime for him whilst I watch the apprentice.

    Paid stuff in the morning then I so need to visit the supermarket and then a haircut so flying will need to be after that.

    LOL same as my DS, he's nearly 20 and now around the 6 foot mark but when I put his washing away on Saturday some of his boxers were age 11-12, and it was only about 18 months ago that I chucked away the age 6 - 7 he was still wearing because his GF used to take the pi**.

    Well done piggers children for telling it like it is :T
    And please dont send the thunder and lightening our way wendywitch as I still have to get the washing in

    Anyway what have I done (not sure if anything was on the list :o )

    Hung washing out
    Bathed dog
    Trimmed dog (well just the one area)
    Cooked dinner
    Cleaned the kitchen/wiped the surfaces etc (not the floor yet though)
    Cleaned the bath and bathroom floor
    Changed our bedlinen.

    Thats it for tonight, and tomorrow I think is he right night for the hairdresser so may not get back in.

    Positive vibes for LL, Toots, LW, Ed and all the others need ing (sorry cant remember all :o)

    Hi all

    I've been working hard but not popping in. Probably because I'm not working as hard as I should/could be. Had a flinging session today which has filled the bins before we go onto fortnightly collection. Wish they would collect the recycling more often as we produce loads of that.

    Anyway today, the kitchen is better, sink is shiney clean and doesnt stink, some studying has been done, some sorting done. Not enough really but I did have a nice relaxing shower for the first time in ages as its usually rushed. So relaxing I fell asleep and woke at school run time.

    Tomorrow puppy is at the groomers, a good blasting before we go away next week will help reduce how much hair gets everywhere. Got a leaving meeting for a head of service who has been great, a real shame he is going. So between then I need to do a pound land shop for razors so DP can shave his leg (tattoo) and do more cleaning/tidying

    Hugs and stuff

    Me x
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Morning all - bit cloudy here but at least it's not raining! According to the local rag the 'village' up the road to us was flooded on Monday evening - we didn't even get any drizzle!

    List looks good for today - got a few bits done last night and will try and be good tonight - we are probably off on a missing beagle hunt over the weekend so I will need to be on top of the household stuff! He's been missing for around a week and is an ex lab beagle apparently - so a sad start in life for him but would love to find him and get him back where he belongs! Can't say I have boring weeekends, can I? :D

    Oh well, best get ready for work - nearly the weekend!
    :j Almost 2 stones gone! :j
