Just butting in again - I have a helper for tidying. I taught my young (18 months) dog when he was younger to "tidy." I now sit in a chair and he picks up all his toys from the floor and puts them in his toy box in exchange for very small pieces of chicken or cheese every now and again ... well worth it!!! Especially as I have a back injury.

Right off to do upstairs (it's bedrooms & landing day here) while the second load of washing does. Asda shop already done and put away earlier! Thank goodness for 24 hour stores - 6.15 am is the ONLY time to shop - no queues no people in the way - in and out in an hour - bliss (well as much as shopping can be - hate it passionately!!!)

Nicki, well done, especially with ironing, I hate ironing sooooo much! Being Aunty doesn't wear off, I have a neice and nephew I adore

I'm not even they're Aunty thats the thing :rotfl: I guess it's going to be a "respectful" Aunty for both of them which is going to be weird as I'm only a distant cousin :rotfl:

Already dusted the bedrooms & livingroom, infact I had it done by 7.30 Need to do some jobs but I think I'm going to have amore restful day today - I have a cracking headache. School run time :wave:

Just spent the last hour catching up on threads rather than getting stuck into my list!!
WM on for 2nd load but not looking like I can peg out so that will be all over the house trying to dry.
Going to leave girls room until tomorrow as they are at their dads for the weekend and it makes more sense to wait until they are not here to mess it up again!
LO's room done except for vacuuming

Happy flying everyone!! xx

PS Maralum I do sympathise with your bath dilemma - my house had never been so tidy when close to my due date as didn't want MW's thinking bad of me !!

It's not that tricky if i worked it out, but you will have to have a play. :rotfl:

• I do it by copying the text of the person i want to quote, then
• i type

  persons_name wrote:

• then paste what you copied
• then at the end, type .

i think you may need to hit the quote button on my post to see what i typed. Not sure how else to show you how to do it without it doing it in the post.
The forward slash / is needed if you want the bit you quote to appear in a box.

When you are writing your post, you can usually see what other people have written under your post.

hope that helps. Bet there are a few of you have a play with that now today rather than flying. I am now going to stop procrastinating and walk to baby clinic. See you all later.

Michelle,x

I've ironed hubby's work shirts...

Just having a cuppa and a packet of cholesterol (crisps) then I am cracking on with the bathroom & loo.. we have a plumber in tomorrow sorting the radiator so I need it presentable so he can make a mess!!

washing sheep both will be on in a few minutes and the DW and BM.

Hubby has taken children to dentist.. the others go next week.

My friend has just rang me and she is away for the week on holiday and will be here next weekend (bank holiday) so I have a night out booked!! WOOHOO!!! That WILL be a good night.. it usually is! I have a night out with my sisters booked as well.. I'm getting a bit popular it seems!... probably because my frugal living means I have more money available to buy their drinks lol.. you know what sisters are like!

Anyway.. other than that.. I have..

Front room to whizz over
dance bags to find for tomorrow
kitchen to S&S
[STRIKE]bathroom to twinkle
loo to scrub[/STRIKE] (floor was washed with wee this morning so it is a bit pongy)

[STRIKE]DW[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]Hang wet washing on the line[/STRIKE] 2 lots out so far
BM
fold and put away dry laundry

After.. my cuppa!!

And tonight I am going out as my reward for completing todays tasks!!!!!!!!
