  • Well I came upstairs to put little lady in her sleep suit, popped her in her cot while I nipped to the little lady's room and when I came back she's nodded, so I've cleaned the en suite.

    Which means I have 1 room left before the house is in order, it's the dumping ground room, so will start that tomorrow

    Shegirl - where did you order your underlay from! New carpets hopefully for us pretty rapid!

    I stripped, washed, dried and remade DS1's bed, will do ds2 in the morning!
    Stew and dumplings for tea & meal planned for rest of week.
    Sorted out some Cubs stuff ready to be validated at tomorrows session.
    Really need to speak to somebody in the know about a session i have planned for Cubs. I have a nigglying doubt that the information i may give could be restricted (Army stuff) So this is vital.
    Will put the rest of clothes away whilst boys are in bath.
    Tonight i will be in bed at 9.30!

    Wilsons Underlay ebay shop.Fab prices,although you need to go through the pages to get the cheapest (some pages the same item is dearer lol) http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Carpet-Underlay-Store/shop-page.html_?rt=nc&_sid=777889279&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1581&_pgn=1

    They've got cloud 9 cirrus for £38.95 per 15sqm roll plus free next day delivery and also cumulus (THE best underlay out there according to most) for £43.95 with free next day delivery:T

    Both are fab for heat insulation too :)

    We did that today! All the B's :-) School was open so still had to take big girl, but the rest of us had lots of fun :-)

    Tomorrow (snow permitting) the 2 eldest are in school. So my list is as follows

    1/ drs appointment at 8.40 (grumble grumble)
    2/ aldi shop - aiming for sub £55 for the week...
    3/ make lasagne for tea
    4/ clear out Welsh dresser
    5/ usual Hoover/wash up/one load of laundry
    6/ run (weather permitting and I need a new inhaler from dr)
    7/ bunting and cushion
    8/ poss friends for tea after school but friend not got back to me yet

    Am loving reading everyone else's lists and fab achievements - is definitely keeping me on track. It's looking increasingly likely I won't be returning to work in September, so I need to crack this organisation lark - with the help of you lot I think it can be done - although I'm sure there will be some falling off the wagon to be done...

    OK so far done an hour and a half of my assignment, so so boring, I love reading poetry but not writing about it :(

    Snow has stopped, I hope it lasts until tomorrow so that me and Baby can play in it, although I don't know how the baby will play in it bearing in mind he's not yet walking, but I'm sure he'll have fun!

    I've gone a little bit into panic mode, of, I wonder if I have enough food in if I get snowed in... not that I will get snowed in, I just hate driving in it, is more it, mind you, I have two shops within walking distance so can go and get bits from them, Just need some milk really I think, I just go into stupid mode and start thinking about why haven't I got any dried milk in, or frozen some more bread etc. So silly.

    Right best get on I suppose, really don't want to though.

    arrrggghhh really really really cross, was going to record miranda as I love it, and even managed to set up the free view recorder, and I got the time wrong and its just finished, Gutted, I've been looking forward to that all day, that was my reward for working so hard on my assignment :(
  • Can you get it on iplayer?

    oooh I don't know I've never used it. I'd just told myself I was going to work for another half an hour or so, then watch it, but I don't think it appears on I-player straight away does it? i really don't know I've only ever used 4od

    ETA thanks mysk girl just fathomed it out but its not avail just yet, good that you can watch live tv on your laptop though! I didnt know that!

    Well I think I'll call it a day with the assignment, I;ve not done any for half an hour, trying to sort out the bloody freeview recorder thing.

    Snows back again, am starting to wonder if I will actually get snowed in!

    Jobs for tomorrow

    hang up washing
    put clean clothes away
    make bed
    tidy bedroom
    put rubbish from upstairs out
    put rubbish from downstairs out
    wipe down high chair
    do 2 hours of assignment when baby sleeps
    hoover through downstairs
    mop through downstairs
    tidy hallway
    hoover upstairs
    hoover stairs
    bake cakes
    build a snowman
    go for a lovely snowy walk

    Think thats all for now, I'd really like to get this list done as these are the things that are really annoying me at the moment, well apart from the nice things :) Also really need to clean out the microwave but it's one of those jobs I keep putting off, that and unloading the car :(

    Aren't you meant to put some lemon in some water in the microwave for 30 seconds or something to help clean it? Anyone know? Think I saw it on Kim and Aggy once....
  • Cut a lemon in half and place both halves cut side down on a plate with a tablespoon of water. Microwave for 1min on high - should be all steamy and lemony inside and will wipe clean with kitchen roll. Enjoy! Sadly lemon will be no good for G&T thereafter...

    Good luck with the assignment, what are you studying?
