    Thanks for the eb@y help Valli.

    Done a big shop at Mr T. Managed to duck the boys football this morning. Youngest lost. Middle son won. Much better weather conditions than last week. DH took his hangover and had a good post mortem of the evening with the other Dad that was at football. Everyone left at 1.15 so I'm a tad tired.

    DH and DS2 ate frogs by putting away the garden furniture. It's the first Sunday its been dry enough to store it away!

    Going to do HHI or 2. Is it wine o'clock yet?

  • Good evening :D

    I feel much better today :) I have had dinner tonight. I even had some Revels (unfortunately I broke a tooth on a toffee, so I will need to phone the dentist tomorrow :( That'll teach me!!)

    I have stripped, washed & remade my bed, and washed & dried 2 more loads. DH & I took the dog for a nice walk in the sunshine this afternoon. We have also got a few bits in Aldi (that were too expensive in Mr S on Friday). And we tidied up the Summerhouse a little. The double buggy has been folded down, and everything put in neatly. My kid stuff only takes up about 1/4 of the space now :)

    2 out of 5 of my ebay items sold. I have printed off the labels & they are ready to take to the post office, with my books traded in at Amazon, tomorrow. Not mega bucks, but a start.

    Juliejim - thanks for everything you have done for the thread. Promise you will keep posting :)
    Bossymoo (((big hugs))). Your playroom sounds wonderful :) I wish I had the room for that. It would be great to have a separate room I could close the door to every night!
    Dusty thanks for keeping the lists going. Although I am tempted to offer to help out, I know I don't have time at the moment. Maybe I can take a turn when my studying is over :)

    I have made my first casserole in about 20 years. I usually have to make at least 3 different dinners each evening. I wasn't looking forward to it as I don't like stews etc. It was lovely. However, DS1 "threw his toys out of the pram". He said he would rather starve. I made him eat some of it, feeling very cruel. He is sulking now. It is looking like we have enough left for at least 2 more days :)

    Ironing mountain is no more, park visited, broken ear phones exchanged. 3 drawers sorted and bedside table tidied. Tape dispenser refilled ready for present wrapping.

    I wouldn't mind doing a guest week sometime if needed.

    BM the garage sounds fabulous. xx

    Ducked out again last week..just so busy..now have a horrible sicky bug and 16 year old DS got up this morning saying his excema was really itchy...got steroids out to apply but he is covered in chicken pox...he is not impressed lol...think 2 LOs might end up with it too....luckily older 3 have had it already.

    Think I will just have to post what I manage ...even if I cant do the lists

    Sorry not to comment on everyones posts but heads all over...loads of love to Bossy and the LOs though

  • just a quick update, not done much beside cooking and a S&S today. was up as my old C scar in a lot of pain as flybaby seemed to be stretching and kicking against it, took me 30 mins to pull myself out of bed in the night to go the loo

    so I am just going to just draw a line under an otherwise very good week, and start on the new list in the morning
