Good morning, nearly afternoon all your lovely flying busy bees..

Don't know what is wrong with me but haven't done a lot this week, always have other things to do, had hospital appointments with DD1 and DD2 (2 hours in the eyeclinic waiting to be seen) and 1 hour in physio dept. luckily enough I managed to get them on the same afternoon.

My house is a tip and I could just cry
It was so lovely and tidy and now it is back to square one. The kids drive me mad, no matter how much I ask, or shout or repeat myself to take things upstairs, it doesn't happen.. The kitchen is messy and the dining table is full of stuff. I think I will just sit and eat some chocolate..
:EasterBun:

I suppose instead of feeling sorry for myself I better get stuck in, but that has always been my problem. There is so much to do I get frustrated and end up doing nothing..

my list is endless so not even going to put it all down

Laters :wave:

Thanks..

Don't even try to do it all, you will just give up. Set yourself a few tasks for today - just do the kitchen, say, and then you will see a difference.

Morning, afternoon or what ever you want to call it.

Had a bit of a hic-cup mid week. BF came to stay for a day before he heads back to Germany and gets deployed to Afghan for 8 months :eek:

Im nearly there with my packing. Its very complicated packing for 2 things one which runs on from the other and you need similar but different stuff and it all lasts 2 weeks. Just hoping i will have access to a washing machine My car is going to be full.:rolleyes: And what is worse i have a job interview in the middle. Im going to have to come out of the field, all camoflaged up and change and drive, do a job interview, change back, drive back, get all war-like again and carry on with the exercise!!! :eek:

Going to finish the final bits up, washing machine is on with the last bits and the bedding has been stripped so i come back to a clean comfy bed (after 14 days of sleeping in an army bed or in a hole)

My list to do:
Hoover downstairs - once got all my kit
Mop kitchen and bathroom
S&S kitchen and bathroom
2 more loads of washing, and it needs radiator drying, ironing and putting away!
Hoover bedroom once the floordrobe of everything being packed is cleared.
Make bed
Quick run around the house making sure ive put away everything that shouldnt be left out.
Flop
Do mental exercises in preparation for weekend.
Dispose of cat to friends house once ive found all her toys lying around the house.
Fill car in preparation for an early start tomorrow.

Right here goes, lets see how much i can get done.

Afternoon all. Pleased to hear some are doing well. Pigpen great news my tiddles (DS2 who is 6) hasn't wet the bed for over a week now downside is Ds1 wet his last night (8 but also has special needs) but at least I was stripping the bed anyway. Boys room is almost done apart from putting some clean laundry away once the rests dry. Also got sitting room cleaned out, which only got a quick once over on Monday. Pleased as I need to pop to the shops for some things I forgot. Unfortunately looks like it's going to pour down here, washings out but can see me having to bring it back in!

Nicki fab icons!!!!
