    Morning All

    Piggers if I'd known you were up in the night I'd have joined you! Are you going back to bed when OH gets up?

    I'm just sorting out the clothes in the conservatory and then my plan is to move the settee in there when it's empty, hoover underneath it, put the box of Beavers' Christmas presents underneath it, as I bought them in the sale and I've got nowhere to put them, and then put it back. Not sure what's happening yet today - DD wants me to help her with her bedroom which will be a job and a half.

    Anyone who doesn't want family time, can have me time instead!

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning Everyone!

    Sleeping vibes to JulieJim and Pigpen. Hugs to Bossymoo and Mumto5.

    We have been asked to go round to a friends today but she hasn't told me what time so I can't plan as well as I'd like to.

    I have put the WM on but that's about it. Today I must:

    Hang the wasking out
    Go to the pet shop
    Drop off luggage scales to my Aunt
    Visit friend
    Clean the windows
    HHI or 2!
    Pack for visit to MIL tomorrow and Friday :eek:

    We'll start with that and see how we get on.

    No chance.. He would be in and out the room like a child telling takes and asking me stupid things.. I'm up until this lot are away to bed I'm afraid.. so about 9 tonight..

    Off to kick OH out of bed so we can drop DD3 at summer school.. I'll grab prescriptions on the way back if there is somewhere to park and I am now uploading my 10 ebay items :D

    I like today's list as our cleaner is here so that is most of it sorted and my mum and dad arrive so that is family time taken care of. I have a problem with one of them...telling someone you love them. I tell DH all the time, however I have never told my family that I love them and they have never told me. It might seem weird to most people and I guess written down it doesn't look so good, it is annoying as the love is said and shown between my parents and my sister :(

    Anyway sorry for that. Off to work in a sec as one of the guys is having issues with someone, told them off for doing something wrong and now that person says he is being victimised! So today I will mostly be making sure that the "victimiser" is ok as he is really not coping very well with it.

    Morning folks

    I have cleared hall, stairs, & landing. S&S Bathroom. Cleaned LR windows inside & out to clear paw art from Miss Muddy Paws. WM is on and it's towel day so it wont stop for a while.

    My parents made a surprise visit yesterday, I don't think they have been since Christmas. They ended up staying for dinner.

    We are waiting for the loft insulation people to arrive. Not sure how we are going to get into the lavatory today. Not good with DS2.
    Boys are going stir crazy already.

    ps. I love you, Flyladies
