    Good morning :D

    I am working today :j I haven't had much on over the holidays, and as I am self-employed & DH is unemployed that is not good :eek: I have 2 girlies this morning, and another one joining us at lunchtime. Let's hope it is not a case of 3's a crowd! I was hoping to take them to the park this afternoon , but the forecast is not looking good :(

    They are playing barbies at the moment, and I am going to set up a craft activity & make some soup for lunch while they are occupied. Sounds like a plan!

    Hugs, sticks & spoons to those that need them, esp Pigpens DD1. I hope you get it sorted.

  • Well that was rather a long HHC!

    But I did manage to do a really thorough tidy of our bedroom, so it's looking much better now (apart from the HUGE pile of ironing on the bed but if I started that now, I'd still be here at 10pm tonight)!

    I think a coffee is in order before the next HHC. Anyone fancy one?:coffee::coffee::coffee:

    MY NEW BATH IS NEARLY DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    The bits came today... I can now call the builder to come sort the kitchen.. 2 days behind schedule but it is ok, we will manage.

    This weeks bills paid, nails fixed, new HD arrived so I will format and fill that.. I need to see if I can get any files off the old one.. it is proving impossible up to now.. there has to be a way! Prescriptions collected for DD4 and DS3.. mostly organised... a few more phone calls and my life will be back to its normal level of insanity :D

    First job.. Dress Dot!

    OH gone to shop with Squeak.

    Oh.. I need to do a Tesco shop too.. and I cannot get through to DD1's HV :(.

    Pigpen hope you get through to HV very soon.

    I'm waiting in for a parcel and thought i would do all those little jobs that I never have time to do..........I've searched all the threads and just can't find a thing!

    many thanks if anyone can help x

    Howdy. I've made a start on my stripes. Will post a pic later as my phone is plugged in to get updates. Also been to ikea and mr s.

    Couldn't find the cheap wooden spice rack I was after, but never mind. I got a cheap chrome rail for DS bedroom. I'm going to hang it at the head of his bed, it has some rubber pockets so will hold a drink, book, his torch lol. A bit like a bunk bed shelf, but for just a couple of quid :T

    Also got a new runner for my hallway. Depending on how it looks when down it may save me the cost / hassle of replacing the laminate flooring!

    Got some plastic fillable eggs 20p for a pack of 8 from mr s in reduced section. My kids love these so I thought I'd grab em, while they are cheap!

    Empty the filter first, and give the rubber seals a good wipe out to loosen/remove any gunk then run it on the hottest cycle (you can reduce the spin) and add either a cupful of white vinegar or a handful of washing (household) soda.
