    Yeah valli fight the good fight.

    The fact you still get CB for him is a big plus for you. Is he recently 18 and doing 'A' levels?
    was 18 in September but still in Y13 and doing A levels.

    My mum and dad brought me another chest of drawers yesterday - I have other pieces whic match, also from them so this gives me an opportunity to 'dump' an old- fashioned bedding box and have *almost* matching bedroom furniture! (will still have two unmatched bedside cabinets, though they match each other, and a small wardrobe).

    So

    Valli's VERY AMBITIOUS plan for today

    • sort out drawers in dining room thus freeing one drawer for tablecloths and napkins (currently in bedding chest - far more sensible to store in room they are used in anyway) CS 'carp'
    • be ruthless about rest of bedding chest contents - CS what can go
    • remove bedding chest - check with mum but think no-one will want it (it's 'utility' ie post war cheap) and *fling*
    • dust chest of drawer, hoover space and fill with organised bedding
    • list on ebay in between - photograph ALL stuff I have to sell and list/relist
    • clean bedroom anyway; change bedding
    • post ebay sale - buy sawdust while down there (ie shops)
    • clean out gerbils; clean LR
    • make list of millions of jobs which need doing AKA Toots list
    Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY

    Morning

    Had some get up and go this morning so went for a few miles on the bike before breakfast, came back and ate twice as much as I would normally! Washing sorted and first lot on. DW loaded with last nights tea things (had hoped DH would do it after I went to bed early but not so!) Not sure whether to shower now and then see if DD wants to go and get a bike or carry on and shower when finished flying. If I sit here much longer tho I will lose all the motivation I had first thing.

    DH back to the surgical unit yesterday, his urgent op looks like being end of July :eek: nd then he'll have to have at least 6 weeks off after. That'll be no overtime for 4 1/2 months then, he's not a happy bunny :(

    Lovely to 'see'you embb - I know you dont need the lists but its lovely to have you around.
    Hope you feeling better piggers
    Mrs MP - sending +ve vibes with you for neice
    Valli - go for it
    Dusty - Hope woody's abcess clears up, they are seriously horrible and stink.Poor woody x

    Hope you all have a great day, prob back later xx

    I have avoided the loo today but my stomach is still crampking and feels bruised as well now.. it'll go off in its own time I guess.

    Squeak and Dot slept appallingly last night.. Squeak woke at 3 and OH ended up in Tiddles bed with her (others are at KH's) and Dot was up every hour from 2... beastly creatures.. I am glad they did it the same night so hopefully we will both get to sleep tonight!.. Squeak went back to sleep about 5 until 8 and Dot slept from 7-9.

    Washing out on the line.
    1 lot in to wash
    cuppa made.. I'll glug that then get these ebay things posted then gut the grotty kitchen and nag OH to do a variety of things.. such as getting the kitchen blinds up before winter!!

    I have decided the tiling in the kitchen is the next big job.. it will be about £400 as the kitchen is so huge but I will nag my uncle to do it and he can teach OH.

    Valli your list looks like mine. I have a rare week off and want to try and clean/de-clutter as much as I can.

    The usual washing mountain is waiting for me, and it is raining. I need to borrow some get up and go.

    Not finished my cuppa yet and my stomach is shouting at me

    Aawww Squeak just counted to ten for the first time!

    I have nine days off, and no real plans for going anywhere. DH has mostly stopped making a major mess and is finishing off the kitchen while he looks for a job. Seriously thinking of splitting the house into nine areas and having a real deep clean and de-clutter - in a head to head half term challenge style like TNG and Penelope Penguin did years ago (I do miss PP). Does anyone else want to play? I may have to do before and after photos to force myself to do it.

    I have emptied and filled the DW, and put the WM on so far today. DH has kindly taken the boys for a walk to see if they can spot where the jubilee beacon is going to be.
