Washing on the line, tripple pegged, hoovering half done. Kitchen sides all wiped, not looking too bad. Hard floor hoovering and mopping is next priority.

How can anyone hate folding clothes? I LOVE it.. it is by far the 1 housey task I do willingly. DD1's OH admired my folding a few months back and moaned at DD1 for not folding the same as I do lol. If anyone else touches the clothes I have to refold them all again. Nice folding = no i*r*o*n*i*n*g

I just hate it, dont know why, its a thing I have up there with emptying the DW, washing dishes in the sink & peeling potatoes in water:eek: :rotfl:. I am very pernickety about how towels are folded so I do them but clothes are folded nice when Ironed, if they are not going on a hanfer, it doesnt' matter how nice I fold, they still need ironed :rotfl:

It is when the tongue does not separate fully from the underside of the mouth so in effect it cannot poke out or lift up so sucking is very difficult and hard work and many cannot feed well because of it. My niece had hers fully attached right to the end so her tongue didnt move at all but some it is just a tiny bit and fixes itself but most are somewhere in between.

Hi everyone

Ian - thanks for popping in to see us all x
Skint - good luck today with little Holly - what a wonderful HV.
Ionafan - glad your day ended better than it started

Anyone I've forgotten (PMT!!!!!) hugs, coffees and alcohol where needed :beer:

Stripped and changed DD's bed today, cleared floordrobe upstairs, washed mountain of dishes, made a start on paperwork in the study, cancelled Bokwa class for tonight as PMT is raging and simply CBA.

Took car into town for it's service first thing today and hope it won't be too much as both my car and OH's van needs Road Tax tomorrow. Can't find the paperwork for OH's van, but I think I'll have to get him an MOT too before I can get his tax. After 2 new tyres last week, I really could do with a Fairy Godmother sprinkling some fairydust around here.

OH has just been painting the kitchen which I have been nagging him to finish since he started it in September (and he's a Painter & Decorator by trade!!!!!!!!! :mad:) - he should be doing his Tax Return for tomorrow night's deadline, but we all love to procrastinate, don't we?

Let's look at this week's list then and see if I've done owt:

Wow, looks like I have a few tasks ahead of me - Paperwork is a must today, but I'll try and hoover through at least.

OH just about to do the school run, so HHC for me before he gets back - anyone want to join me?

TMD xx

Dustykitten

I'm tongue tied, never stopped me voicing an opinion on anything though, even though I can't do this

Hard floors hoovered but not mopped yet, I don't like mopping so I'm going to finish chewing my frog and then give it one big gulp

Dustykitten

TMD if you do tax online it tells you if you have a MoT hence how I found out on the weekend that I didn't.
