    Both kids bedrooms tidied and hoovered and clean clothes put away. WM and TD both fed again. Munched a bag of crisps and downed another cuppa that DH made for me. DD back from town and is eithe being appreciative for a change or trying to tellme I stink as she bought me a gift set of shower gels, bubble baths etc. Admittedly I havent showered yet as going out later and thought it pointless when cleaning but I didnt think it was that bad :p

    I did mean the mouse for my lappy lol... I loathe the touchpad.. I cannot do the timed levels on candy crush without it!!!!! *cry* I've only had it a couple of weeks too!!

    I have decluttered half a head of hair, I washed and brushed it.. I combed off enough to knit a sweater for a gorilla!

    naughty babies dressed..

    Squeak followed OH into the kitchen... 'Daddy food??... Squeak eat?' She is so cheeky.. she forces us to sniff her sore bits when I put the savlon on her.. at least she endures it being put on. She is looking a little better at last.

    Back from the dance studio and am deciding what to do. It is bright here but crisp. It is now 7 days minus 1 hour until my reunion. I have shortened my new curtains for my bedroom so should hang them, but they need to be ironed.

    Ha ha I have decided to tackle ironing mountain.

    HHI anyone ?

    Congratulations embb :o

    CY glad your DS came home in one piece - what are they like eh?!

    Pixiedust and pigpen
    - thank you for the advice about using Advantage instead of Frontline, I will be buying that very soon! And we did use the Indorex house spray so hopefully it has worked but boy was it expensive!

    Dustykitten - did you get much gardening done today? I'm not much of a gardener but do need to do some tidying up. Just I am a whimp when it looks cold out there!

    After I posted last night I put a load of WM on airers, and reloaded WM to come on early morning. I also did a menu plan for the week and a shopping list.

    Today I have:

    Cleaned toilet, sink, and shower
    WM x 3 all drying(ish?!) on the line
    Mr T shop with a £4 off voucher (yay!)
    Washed dishes from brekkie and lunch
    Tidied bedroom

    Now onto some ironing with a bit of Eastenders on catch up.

    Long Haul flight in progress

    trouble is I keep getting distracted by the in flight entertainment...and the boiled sweets (AKA CANDY;)) aren't helping

    BUT

    I was taken (under protest if I'm honest) shopping for clothes for me. HATED task. On Thursday. Anyway I am a size smaller top and bottom (but top is a size bigger than bottom IYGWIM) so I have new clothes, a belt to hold my loose trousers up *glow* and I decided, this morning, to declutter my wardrobe. Everything's come out, all items checked, wardrobe and hangers dusted, 3 bags to charity shop (not all M&S has gone at once, though, obviously;)) and had flung 3 pairs of shoes, one too tight, once lokis funny and one pair I have had for ages and never worn. I also went to Tesco and got some stationery bargains which will go into the prize box at school - they get a prize when they have 'won' 10 stickers. Went to Shelter and bought ALL their 'party bag' type stuff for same purpose. Have FULL washing lines.
    I have 'bottoms' ranging from size 10 to size 16 :rotfl:
    I'm *almost* a 14 - first thing that diminishes is the derriere. My bum NEVER looks big :rotfl:
    Am going to fill maiden with ironing, then clean the kitchen.
