Good morning everyone and good luck for today Skintbreeder!!!!!
Well the plasterer turned up at 8am to repair the hole in the living room ceiling damage so I have stayed upstairs out of the way while he repairs the damage OH flooding the bathroom caused. We had a new bathroom fitted in the summer and plasterer seems to think that as well as damage OH caused we may also have had a slow leak!!!!! There has been no mention of cost for the repair as yet either so am crossing my fingers and praying that I don't become the recipient of a large bill!!!
Am going to make a start on the bathroom!!!!loobylou2.Proud to be dealing with my debts and aiming to sort out the mess in 2013!!!!:eek:0 -

I was with you penpen!
Well I've started having a bit of sort out in the LR - this might not be a good idea seeing as I have a houseful of people and they are now awake so I would imagine that they will be making their way downstairs soon.NST #10 Steps 7K 2/30 10K 2/12 5 a day 3/30 NSD 0/20

Kenwood scrubbed and some dough in ready for bread later. Found and scrubbed the old teapot as I am rattling through tea at the moment. S&S'd the loo. Emptied and filled the DW and made a start on the wash in sink stuff.
Off out for a walk with the children shortly so back for more cleaning later.'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
Come on then JJ, I'm going to bag up the duvets and get the boxes ready for the decorations to come down........................0

I've been up since 8 and have been feeding the WM and TD. All dry washing has been folded and put in the ironing pile or in the respective person's box for putting away.
The littlies are tidying their room, they are making a terrible row. I have incentivised them with a trip to the cake shop after lunch if they tidy to my satisfaction. The older boys are painting at MIL's house for a tidy £50 each. I would have done it for that amount!
DD1 is trying to sleep off a nasty cold at her boyfriends.
The family laptop has vanished. I'm more than a tad annoyed as tapping away on my phone isn't good for my eyesight!
Good luck to SB5. I hope all goes smoothly and simply.
Now to tackle the kitchen which is going to take a good HHC.0 -
Internet is playing up, due to go off today or tomorrow, so think that's why.
Spare room is looking a bit better. Duvets bagged up, boxes down here, bits and bobs put away. I know I've finished a bit early. Will carry on in a minute..........0
