Everyone is doing SO well!! I'm really impressed :T

I'm printing off the lists for when I get home . . . but big sis is coming over to look on internet for cheap airfares - so I don't know if I'll get much done - AGAIN!!!

Morning all, :hello:

Only reached level one yesterday! I used to do level three every day and I have to admit that I miss it . Still, I have beautiful, happy children and a relatively contented DH (he loves us all dearly and wants to be jolly, but I think the sleep deprivation is starting to get to him). I've sent DH back to bed and baby and I are chillin' in the sitting room. I may get up and have a little go at the kitchen jobs I missed yesterday. But I may not...

Well done moneyqueen :j . Isn't it especially lovely when your DH actually notices the change in you? I felt so proud the first time my husband told me how clever I was for keeping the house so nicely. He also realises now that he lives here and can even, if he so desires, tidy up too!

Shirleypark I do that too! Too hot for too long because I just love those bath bubbles so much . I end up feeling sick as a dog and going straight to bed . You'd think I'd learn my lesson :rolleyes: . Enjoy your tidy desk today and feel very satisfied, knowing how organised you are .

Glad you're back on track demonicangel . Where did you find your motivation? Was it under the ironing pile like I said or had it fallen down the back of the fridge? My mum once found a dessicated fish head down the back of hers! :eek:

Tell me about it michelle - my friend popped by with her two little "angels" yesterday. Let's just say that those boys don't need to go to school - they're already perfectly qualified for a career in demolition! :rotfl:

Solway, you're just like me. We went in to town yesterday and I bought lots of weird things like a grobag for the baby, some olives and some chocolates from thorntons, but forgot the bread for Owen's lunchbox today . Now we'll both be in the naughty corner, supervised by your cat and my four-year-old. :eek:

Good luck with your back door HopElizzy - why do they destroy the expensive things? They never just chew on a sponge or write on plain old paper :rolleyes: . My boy's the same. He has "decorated" the side of his divan with blue felt tip. Not even stardrops touched it . Little monster, when we see graffiti outside, he parrots me "That's very naughty, we don't do that, only bad boys do...". But I'm pretty sure he has a burning desire to join them .

Good morning everyone,

Not had much time to read through the thread, so hope everyone is ok xxx

Yesterday wasnt too bad, i did manage to sweep the kitchen floor and clean the oven, but that was about it from the list. I did clean the bathroom and toilet (and get all the beds made) but with the new LO, that ment that i couldnt get all i normally would do done (and the fact we went out straight after dinner) Oh, i did load, empty and then re load the DW!!!

Im out all morning today, but only have one LO here this afternoon, so hopefully i will start to catch up later - would like to as new LO back tomorrow, so wouldnt be able to do anything then, and there would be loads for Thursday then!!!!

Right, better do something before first LO gets here,
Have a great day everyone, hope to report some progress later!!!!

Thanks lil_me :T My priority today will be the hotspot (boys are home and they are Hotspot Hoodies :rolleyes: )

Then I shall progress down. Also have to do some coursework, but I think the best way to do it is to spend 20min coursework - then a bit of FL - then a bit of coursework and so on.

Morning all

Well had a good day yesterday. We measured up bungalow but had a bit of a panic as the wall we were going to put our 3 seater sofa against looked like it would not fit (sofa 7ft long). It is our dream leather sofa and cost us a lot of money 3 years ago so really did not want to get rid of it. Anyway trip back and the wall is 10ft long so big - phew! Measured out bedroom too as DH want to put his computer desk in there and that fits so thats looking good.

May also pop to bungalow and give that a clean. When the tenants moved out they left the cobwebs behind :eek: everywhere needs a good scrub and now the new boiler is installed we have hot water so no excuse. We also need to paint the girls room.

WM is on - looks like more rain so that will have to go on airer.

Lounge should not take too long and leaving windows until I can do inside and out (hopefully this weather will improve soon )

Morning all. Feel a bit brighter today, started with an earache and bad neck last night so must be coming down with something, feel a bit grotty this morning but DH let me have a lie in. Went food shopping at tea time with DH so thats made life a bit easier, he should have been away for the rest of week with work but cancelled as hes too busy so have had to quickly meal plan for the week.

Hope everyone is okay today and has good days flying,
Moneybubbles, AnW'sMum and Michelle thank you for the hugs!

Morning all - absolutely manic here as I over slept until gone 7am and I had to make DD a lunch up (she's decided she doesn't want peanutbutter & jam pittas as her friends said they're not allowed them :mad: ) so I've made one up for me as well. Then the car wouldn't start - thank goodness it's going in to be hopefully fixed today :mad: I need to go into town but it's raining, so that means I'm going to get wet as it's just as quick (and over £1 cheaper) for me to walk at this time of the day. If I decided to go later it would just go wrong and I wouldn't get there so since I'm part of the way there when I drop DD off OH did suggest that I should get the bus back though especially as it's 3 miles back up hill :rotfl:

I've done a batch of dishes (packed lunch stuff wasn't washed last night ) and made the lunches and had breakfast and now I need to get things out to take with me to town (notebook, prices for ink cartridges from Argos to see if they are the cheapest I can find) and DDs stuff for school and she's running about 10 minutes late so probably no computer for her and I'm off as my head is starting to hurt thinking of what I've got to do. Oh, and I've still got about 20 ebay items which need to be dispatched but I've run out of packaging :eek: Hence the trip to town!!! :mad::eek::mad::eek::mad: :wave:
