Skint - I'm exhausted just reading your list. Please can you send me some of your energy - I'm happy to pay for it

just trying to note down all the good stuff that is happening TMD I just wish it showed - working myself to a frazzle and the house still looks like the Pitz

I am having a :coffee: and a quick catch up on Fred, so feel free to take some spoons while I try to work out what will make this house look like a home rather than a Disaster Zone the Red Cross wants to send volunteers into :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: if I didn't laugh I think I would cry right now

DD3 goodwill has run out (coincidentally the same time my hard cash ran out )and is back in sulky teenager mode and a civil conversation is impossible, let alone getting her to cuddle DD4 so I can get some listy stuff done

to resolve at some point soon - chocolate sandwich spread has been trodden into LR carpet last night (while DD3 just watched him do it :mad:)

DS cup of milk has been catapulted quite literally across my room from my bedside chest of drawers - casualties include my mattress, valance, my bedside cupboard and all its contents, my wardrobe doors, and a large portion of the carpet - apparrently he was pulling out the drawers one at a time to use as a ladder to try to reach my bolted wardrobe cupboards when gravity conspired against him.:mad::mad: Thanks a bunch Gravity :mad:

DS has emptied his piggy bank to play pirates allegedly - so his "treasure" is hidden all over the house - daren't put DD4 down anywhere for tummy time until it is all accounted for

I think I will get the bedroom de-milked and crack out the V@x and de-camp to DD1's room for the foreseeable with DD4 and DS til my bed is properly dry

Chances of completing gloss work in dining room this week? H£ll has more chance of freezing over oh well fun and games -

right time to catch up with rest of Fred

What are you flyladies doing with eggshells/strawberry plants, I must have missed something ??

for a guess they are sprinkling crushed eggshells around strawberries to make it VERY uncomfortable for slugs and snails.

Chewed the fat with my mum is all so far...:o

Pigpen thanks for the peg tips.....I leave mine on the line, but a lot of my Mr T cheap-o ones have shattered as soon as I tried to peg out after the cold snap

CY redundancies are pants, been through it twice myself - lots of posi-vibes on their way for Mr CY

Macpep I am just a sheep following on this eggshell/strawberry thing......I assume it is two fold, put some nutrition back into the pots and to make it uncomfortable for snails and slugs to invite themselves for a fruit buffet...I could be wrong, it wouldn't be the first time :rotfl:

Valli

Same here that is why I need new ones but we are away to B&Q shortly so I shall demand we stop by Dunelm on the way home as I need a new lasagne pan since mine tried to fly and I'll grab pegs while there.

Ikea delivery delivered.. 2 new bookcases and a futon chair for the girls room should sort some floor space.

OH is playing Mr erection section later to erect all the new stuff

CY Hugs to your OH and his colleagues. Horrible for you. Hang on in there Skint. The Skint Ritz will develop out of the chaos with the amount of work you are putting in.

Everything feels like failure in the middle.

Successful trip out with DS1, parcel collected, form collected, appointments made, bread purchased and I think he is now ready to venture out on his own :eek:

I was going to town this afternoon but the sun is shining so I think I'll go into the garden and go to town tomorrow instead.

Hoovering done. I'll slop some vinegar in the shower to descale it when I go up to change into my 'gardening clothes'.
