    Morning

    No news then I see and I'm first here!!!!!!!!!!

    Got up, pc booting up as I made brekkie, first thing I check is here :rotfl: mmmm better go see if there is a new thread to the new baby. But then I really must sort as many ebay parcels as I can whilst eating brekkie, getting dressed, dressing kids and getting out the door, all in the next 50 mins :eek:

    Hope you all have a good day and I'll catch you at some point over the w/e.

    If it's not happened yet maralum I hope it does very soon. :)

    MORNING ALL Firdayits.gif I can't wait for a lie-in tomorrow morning. I slept in until 7am this morning and feel worse than I did yesterday :o Mind you I don't think staying up until midnight helped :rotfl:

    Well my list for today doesn't look much different to the past couple of days, except no school stuff and I'm leaving the beds to air all day;):
    • Dailies
      • [strike]Beds[/strike]All turned back
      • Bathroom S&S
      • Dishes
      • Kitchen S&S
      • WM I think a towel/cloth wash and then the rest can wait until peeps come in
      • Evening Meal
    • Ironing - Not urgent, so not a problem if it doesn't get done.
    • Ebay listings - just need to go through and edit them all so they have proper descriptions & postage costs!
    Okay, I'm going to go and do the washing up now while DD gets washed & dressed, I should also be able to fit in a S&S of the kitchen with the amount of time she takes :rotfl: Then I'll pop upstairs to quickly S&S the bathroom and make sure windows are shut then I can spend the day doing ebay listing editing :eek: Oh joy.... ooopps just remembered I need to look something up here first. Best be off :wave:

    And you have a problem with this??? lol I often sing such classic tunes in the bathroom.. and the neighbours can hear me too.

    YOU SING GIRL!!!!!!!

    It is really good exercise for the lungs and heart and circulation.. all that working they do.

    I may have to go sing myself!

    Back in a bit once the chiblies are banished to school!!

    morning all

    nicki - bless dd singing that!! where did she get that from?

    i love coming down to a tidy house - its amazing the effect it can have compared to living in a pig sty all the time and hating it!! don't get me wrong somedays its a tip but i know i can sort it quickly!! i still have hotspots and paperwork to sort but its so much better- having given up my job to do this full time, i always felt bad the house was a tip, i did have fun with girls but now i can do both and i don't feel such a failure - does that make sense - if this is what i am doing i want to at least be half decent at it

    anyway no sign of marlaum yet unless she has posted in between me starting and finishing this - how exciting

    lil-me i will say once again how much i love the new levels - thanks again

    well off upstairs to do girls rooms after hanging out second load of towels - didnt get done yesterday but i did get all sofa covers washed and picked in AND made space in airing cupboard so they are not all over the landing!!

    catch you later - enjoy sunshine if you have it - it will be gone here by sunday i think - boo
