    Hello all *grins sheepishly*

    been to work ALL DAY today and we're STILL not ready for the new term- but getting there *sighs deeply*

    Welcome noobs - grr at KH Piggers.

    Lamewolf has answered some posts eloquently (as per) so, basically ditto.

    Cannot get on to ebay for soem reason. I have much to do so must get on. Might start with a little gentle ironing :rotfl:

    Well I got a bit carried away with the ironing and 3 hours later the basket is empty and decluttered to appropriate bedrooms. The only problem is that all the draws need a good sort through so I think that will need to be a job for tomorrow.

    My list currently looks like this:

    Wednesday - Master bedroom and Landing
    Level One

    Vacuum the floors
    Level Three
    Polish any glass bits.. table tops, lamps, mirrors etc
    Declutter and wipe the bedside tables... or whatever area you use as a dumping ground!

    Think realistically this will have to wait until tomorrow as my DS's won't sleep if they think I am upstairs.

    Anyway, hope everyone has a productive evening :D

    Just had to share, littlest moo has done her first wee on the potty! I'm taking it on hol with us to keep up the momentum, lol.

    She has been sitting on it but not long enough to catch one, but tonight was happy to just be there. She said

    "I a toilet. Like mummy"

    lol.

    Shame she had a press stud vest on and it dipped in :D

    Well done to her! I was reading it thinking you must be so proud and read the last bit and laughed!

    I got onto my jobs today, seemed to do bits of this and that, hoovered the kitchen downstairs and the stairs. Will go and check off on my list. Did 2 loads of washing and will do the ironing when they dry :)
    Lots better than the beggining of the week

    Wednesday - Master bedroom and Landing
    Level One
    Vacuum the floors

    Level Three
    Dust and deweb.. don't forget the bedframe and light fitting!
    Polish any glass bits.. table tops, lamps, mirrors etc
    Declutter and wipe the bedside tables... or whatever area you use as a dumping ground!

    straighten LR
    water flower pots

    I'm really pleased with my bedroom, which, to be honest hasn't had a thorough clean since we moved back in 5 months ago, BUT also to be fair, it's been the storage room for the other bedrooms whilst they've been getting decorated, it looks so nice now though, I'm so pleased :)

    Hugs all round, there's lots of you having issues at the moment xx

    Just grabbing 5 mins before cleaning up after dinner.

    Will update list later but have been back to town and got a refund on DH's jumper (which I htought was a medium and too small - it was a Large and too small :eek:) Went to Jess*ps who knew nothing about the cameras I wanted to compare so went out of town to PC world where they had all 3 on display and after much texting DH I bought the one he wanted! The spec isnt quite so good at the one I was erring for but it is pretty cool being a smart camera and able to connect to wifi directly to email pics but still light enough, tiny enough and easy enough to be a point and shoot one.

    One lost for dinner as DS (son not sister :o) at work but one gained as DD has friend round who brought a massive GF cake and a loaf of bread for me :D. Think I will save them for Friday though as the friend is also GF and then she can eat her way through the cake too.

    Thanks re KH.. I thought I was doing my best to be accommodating.. but DD3 wants to go on her trip with her new friends and the girls want to go to the bbq and it isn't like they have a plane to catch..
    You know you are accommodating and have done everything to ensure they have been able to have contact. If they had have been catching a plane then you would have worked around that as well, you always do and are not being unreasonable. He made arrangements you are sticking to them - the original ones!
    As they are growing up they are seeing what he is really like and making their own decisions. I think that says it all really.

    amyloofoo - have a massive hug hunny and fingers crossed it was a one off with work.

    thats fantastic, one to note down and remember for when she is about 18 :rotfl:

    Nice to see you back Dusty. It reminded me of when we were kids. Dad always used to take us to Blackpool on bank holiday week. He was (and still is) very shrewd with money and knew that by going up then, that was when they used to test the illuminations so we got to see a lot of them, for about half the price. He was MSE before Martin was :money:.
    More from my list beckons then I'll track back and hopefully update.

    Mmm, I could really do with another of my HM thickshakes for my throat but there was about a quarter of a tub of icecream in the last one :eek: but my goodness it worked. Will have to settle for a strepsil, not quite the same.

    And Piggers surely not - you'd know wouldnt you?!!!

    :wave: back at embb - did you get the tyre sorted. And did you move, I thought youd been there longer than 7 months (terrible memory)
    Mortgage, we're getting there with the end in sight £6587 07/23, otherwise free of the debt thanks to MSE help!
