lil_me thankyou so much for doing the lists even though you have so many other things going on.

No problem Shirley, it's actually making me take a break, kettles now on for a coffee as I know tonight will be a late one, I know I need to take breaks from previous experience just find it hard to make myself. You lot keep me sane, strange as it may seem, partner has gone 'out' as we ended up arguing, again. Too much stress for me to put up with him being lazy and moaning without snapping at him. Never mind.

Well whoever was dealing out the kicks today you must have got me as well Since I last checked in here my DONE list looks something like this:

• Dailies
• Livingroom - hoovered & will dust tomorrow morning
• Kitchen S&S including tea dishes
• Kitchen hoovered
• Bathroom S&S
• Bedrooms x 2 - hoovered & dusted - just need to wipe DD's window tomorrow morning
• Ebay items listed & edited
• OHs ebay parcels wrapped, labelled and awaiting dispatch
• Money up-dated
• DD's homework including a complete book review! (Mr Busy, who she declared at the top of her voice in the playground was me :rotfl: :rotfl: Boy can that Mr Man fly! Whole house clean plus a bath/breakfast in an hour? I've written requesting his assistance for all.....:p:rotfl:)
• Tea cooked - Bacon, beans & fried eggs.
• 2nd load of towels/cloths done
• Bedding washed and drying on maiden/hangers

Going to wait up to see how my ebay listings go (due to finish at 10.15pm) and then I'm off to bed ready to be up early again tomorrow. NOTE: ironing still not done I'll do it tomorrow while watching a DVD

Night night :wave:

Good evening!
Got back from a late yoga class to find the kids' sin bin nearly empty - they have got into a habit of putting things away so quickly!
Ironing planned for tomorrow morning the basket is overflowing, want desperately to get a replacement drier (cuts down on ironing!) but must wait til OH gets his bonus then we can get one cash rather than on the buy now pay forever!

I went with my husband to buy a new dryer with cash a few months ago and the salesman didn't know what to do with cash. He had to get his supervisor and then they had to work out how to open the till. It was hilarious to watch as panic set in.:rotfl:

The plasterer turned up to quote when he said he would - hurrah. To get both rooms done is going to be £15 more than I currently have in my house savings account so that's cool.

I saw the prints today of the photos I took at the christening at the weekend, some of them weren't as good when they were actually blown up to 7x5 prints, but that might just be me being a perfectionist. However, the person I took them for really likes them so that's all that really matters. I've just posted a wanted add on freecycle incase anyone has any photography stuff (books / magazines etc), whether it'll come to anything I have no idea, but you never know.

I've managed to get most of todays list done, not poked those smoke alarms with a pointy stick, high victorian ceilings and being short don't make a good combination. Still need to do the old dance with the hoover, but the BF is actually leaving for work before me tomorrow so I might get it done tomorrow morning. Sorry neighbours, but you'll have to put up with the noise of the hoover at 8am !!

tracyg - well done on getting those credit cards paid off
lil_me - I think this thread keeps me sane too. I used to resent the fact that the BF didn't do any of the housework (well he cooks and will sometimes do things if I ask). Atleast now I don't feel like I'm the only one doing housework.

Right I'm off to bed, happy flying.
