    very glad you went to the Drs Bells, bet you're glad you did. And having a week off work, well you might as well make the most of it. I've got my airing/linen cupboard to sort tomorrow, and I'm really not looking forward to it, it is huge and lined with shelves! It will take ages, especially with much help from Roo pulling everything off the shelves!!

    Hope you're enjoying your benidorm er, I have to say I quite fancied watching that!

    ahhhh really struggling! For this assignment I can choose one of two questions, and Ive been working on one question but I'm finding it relaly hard, should I now change to the other question, I'm not sure if I'll have time or whether its a good idea. Really struggling with this one, baby brain is not helping :(

    Ok, up and at em, already sorted two kitchen drawers, fed fish, made coffee, put on a wash load, sorted another and am tackling the airing cupboard!!! I think some stuff can go but what I'm not so sure. Roo is helping!!!! Very helpful, he's refolding all the towels for me! X

    well i managed to sort out the bottom drawer, do 3 loads of washing and hang them up, shower, give roo lunch, sort out the entire airing cupboard and go to buggy fit :)

    feeling virtuous. Still have one more cupboard to clean in the kitchen and need to give it a general tidy up and clean along with the fridge, but I'm getting there. Really pleased my tutor has given me a weeks extension. I will work hard on my assignment tonight, but not do any when roo sleeps and hopefully I might even get a nap in too :)

    I wonder how much of that I can get done tomorrow. Mind you I'm out at lunch time, so.......

    need to work on my plan a bit as baby is no longer happy to sit in his high chair for any length of time after eating, so hoovering and washing the floor then, isn't really an option..... hmmm thinking caps on I think.

    sorry haven't been posting much, have been posting on the mums get organised in 2013 thread as theres lots of good banter and advice going on there.
