    - going to empty my junk cupboard in the kitchen to make way for LO food now he is being weaned!

    My baby is also 6 months old - nice to have things in common - I guess this is as hard for everyone then!

    Just done the ironing and considering tackling the oven - not looking forward to it though.

    Oh my goodness me .... my bottom is so numb! Could really do with standing up for a bit before I need to do the school run...guess thats a good excuse to go and and do the last batch of dishes and put the dry ones away. Might even S&S the kitchen since I've done NOTHING except check OH's taxes over and email him the file to print out :rolleyes: Oh well.... :wave:

    Quietly sneaking back in, I took easter off and then found that I couldn't be bothered last week and ended up doing nothing so I have three weeks of mess and feel determined to get back on track this week.

    Hope all well, I haven't even been signing in to see what has been going on so hope all well.

    Wow! I can't believe how much I have managed to do!

    Catowen thank you for the reminder! I sprayed my cooker with a stardrops mixture, had lunch and then just wiped the cooker clean! It is not 100% yet but so much better than it was! I also used Math's lemon juice in a cup of water in the microwave which also worked a treat (anything to save elbow grease!:D )

    Getting on with the ironing for now but hopefully will be able to tackle the cupboard fronts later on.

    I love the lists by the way as I suffer from "brain fog" and often forget what I am supposed to be doing!:o

    Afternoon everyone, hope you're all well.

    Just checking in - have been clearing up after last nights BBQ - I don't know quite how it happened but I invited 10 friends to our house yesterday! It was our book club meeting and I'd said on Friday we had no babysitter so we ought to have it at our house on sunday and if it was nice I'd do a BBQ. Not such a good idea when I tell you that I was at work saturday and dh left for work at 8am saturday and didn't return till just after midday sunday!:eek:

    lil_me - thanks for the new style list, it certainly took the pressure off today!

    Rach - congratulations, what a lovely sparkly ring :D

    Big ((hugs)) for anyone that needs them - I need to go pick up dd from school and make some dinner. perhaps there's enough leftovers from yesterday........

    Upset and annoyed. The delivery guy said couldn't go in front door as radiator in way so DP took it off, as he was doing that they were trying to get it in back door. They came round the front after giving up, I said DP had removed radiator, he said sorry you'll have to reorder it we have to go now! End result no new fridge freezer, had to cancel the one getting collected by freecycle person or wouldn't have one. Have had to order from somewhere else. Gutted!

    Hopefully get delivered from another company on Sunday. Measurements say it'll fit, but will have to wait and see, not getting my hopes up :(

    Well done to everyone you've all been working really hard, it's me who has lost my motivation now as everythings going to be upside down for at least another week :(
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
