    Floor scrubbed by hand to within an inch of it's life ready for resealing. Feeling calmer now if thirsty and I can't get to the sink yet.

  • Livingroom floor has been brushed including moving all the furniture. Also dusted everywhere in there too, paperwork all sitting on sofa so that needs to be filed.

    Gonna grab a coffe and make a start on the kitchen and then get DS3 to playgroup. Plan is to get a town stuff done while he's away. :D

    Any suggestions for 14 and 18 yo boys would be much appreciated.

    computer games? books? trainers? phone/mp3/ipod/ds/other gadget? Driving lessons/passport for oldest.. needed for Id not just jollidays!? clothes/coat? and don't you dare forget the socks and sweets!

    My 16 y/o has had a WoW subscription for the last couple of years.. he doesn't need stuff so it is an ideal solution and at £7 a month doesn't usually break the bank! My oldest 2 get housey things as I don't want them to have clutter! My 13 y/o is buying himself a cheap laptop (he gets DLA for his diabetes and I am using that)

    My 15 y/o is a girl so she is really easy to buy for.

    DW done
    new cat flap bought.. we keep being invaded as ours has had no flap all summer.. but it is freezing now with a 6 inch square hole in the door.

    Looks like nap time for mini-beast.

    Well, littlest been asleep for an hour, so I have got a little work done. She does have a chest infection so we have the delightful fake banana fluorescent yellow gloop. Urgh, I shook it after forgetting I'd loosened the top and had to change my trousers as the banana smell was everywhere haha.

    Anyway, she is alright, just needs rest I think.

    Not much flying will happen today as she just wants to sit on me. I don't mind so much as she's not usually one for cuddles so I'm making the most of it...

    Away with the fairies :beer:
  • Thanks dusty for the lists. Im in. My daughter came back from uni on Wednesday and went back last night, it feels like a load of bikers have driven through the place. She managed to drag a very large suitcase full of dirty washing, so its been a bit non-stop. She was a real diva, wanting to be waited on hand and foot, but hey, whats new. Im just glad she realises how much has been done for her. Shes been told, bring your washing but do it yourself, so i think the last i will see of that. Anyhow, flying, I have such a lot on for the next few weeks that im going to be a lurker. I feel a bit bad just coming in and posting my dones/undones without reading the posts, but i just feel up to my eyes, and then that means reading all the other threads im subscribed to, so time out from mse. Hope everyone keeps well. Happy flying
