My sister is coming over to take the boys out for a couple of hours (cries at the thought of some peaceful hours without them ) so I will try to finish the list in that time so I can put my feet up later.

How did you both get on optimistic-mummy and funfairprincess? It's funny how much easier I find it to keep going for a whole half hour when I know I've got company but can't manage it otherwise!

My "HHC" turned into 45 minutes scrubbing the bathroom. I'm ashamed to admit it hadn't had more than a S&S for several weeks At least the faint smell of wee has gone now after a thorough scrub of the toilet, floor, wall tiles, skirting boards,... (boys with terrible aim!!) :o:o

My lists are now looking like this...

Monday - kitchen and dining room
All done :j

All done :j

Aarghhh kids driving me mad. They are just annoying each other (and me). And fighting. Have fed them, put littlest moo to bed (think she was being scratchy from tiredness) and sent DS to play in his room. I've now got a clean bed, and having a lie down. Told DS to get in his own bed when he's tired. Hoping for a three-way nap.

Apparently they don't like macaroni cheese. They like pasta. And cheese. But not pasta and cheese. I think they do it on purpose. So, to spite them, it's chicken casserole for tea. With veg. Ha.

Why is it whenever I try to post someone or something requires my attention- it has taken me most of this morning to do this post. The trouble is I can't ignore door bells, phones or DH. Ah well that is my moan for today, not really importaant in the scheme of things.

Despite the above I've not done too bad as not a lot left to do.
Actually now the sun is shining, I might do a bit of weeding. When it is a choice of flying in the house or garden the garden wins each time.

Afternoon all

I did manage to clean the bathroom before I headed out and put the WM on.

Decluttered a get meeting with another Governor who's role I'm taking on.

Chatted with 2 neighbours on my way back home.

Out again in an hour so need to decide on dinner for tonight and sort out lunch for DS2.

I'm off to a slow start today as I accidentally fell asleep on the sofa last night, then woke up with a neck ache and had to trundle myself off to bed at around 4am. Fortunately hubby got up and took himself to work :j and doesn't seem to be in too much trouble about yesterday so that seems to have worked out okay. Going to have another tea and crack on with my list. Hope the flying's going well
