The joys of self-employment) and now I'm going to try to play catch up with a couple of HHC :D House isn't too bad as we cleaned on Saturday but I didn't get around to doing the bathroom, so that will have to be my first priority after DD's changed (so I can add her school blouse in the wash ;)) if she ever comes home.

    LOL no wonder the worlds overcrowded with families the size of yours and mine pigpen.

    off to do more tidying as the boys are hovering for the puter

    It isn't overcrowded at all it is just not well utilised.. There are very few people at all really it is just that most of the resources are misused and not shared equally like they should be.. far too many hog everything for themselves and far too many have nothing.. it is a disgrace really.

    I am a raving communist.. :p

    Not a lot of flying done - but Dulux dog look has gone as promised. i told the hairdresser 'think Judi Dench/Liza Minelli' and that's the 'look' I now have. And we both agree all-over purple would look good :) - but I'll have to save up for that as I have new specs to pay for after this afternoon's trip to the optician's :eek: Varifocals plus special thinned down lenses equals spensiveness :cool: and I've gone for a new look. Byebye Elvis sunglasses inspired specs and in black framed preppy look...oh my, I hope I like them I'm going to have to wear them for two years at least...blind as a bat without my specs :D

    Bought some fresh bread buns - fishfinger sandwiches for tea - not very posh, but tis just what I fancy and DS is easy to please ;) as long as there are no vegs included he'll eat it :rotfl:

    Am really going to have to sit down and create a budget, and stick to it, or else Christmas is not going to happen in this house :( i seem to have haemhoraged (sp?) money this week :(

    Bye for now xxx

    Piggers, your posts make me laugh. What happened to yesterday's Baldrick comment?

    Ok, so I'm editing the list to leave anything that is outstanding to make me feel not so bad this week:

    Monday - kitchen and dining room
    Shine your sink and taps
    Wipe worksurfaces right into the corners
    Dust
    Sweep and mop the floor

    Tuesday bathroom and study
    Sweep and mop floors
    Clean toilets including the pan and pipework
    Clean Bath/shower and sink
    Clean the light cords

    Wednesday - Living Room, Hall and Stairs
    Hoover, all the way up the stairs
    Dust any fluffy surfaces
    Bash your cushions outside and watch the dust fly
    Dust behind/inside radiators
    Put that lovely clean cover back on your ironing board

    Thursday - Kids rooms, Spare rooms or another neglected room
    Dust

    There, looks a bit more manageable now.
    Spend less now, work less later.

I have had a couple of imps making random posts here and FB so maybe they managed a spot of editting too.. I'll go check.. Squeak was up to a spot of re-speccing on OH's WoW the other day..
