Task Difficult is finished! Thanks for that HH Pigpen. In fact, I'm so relieved and inspired by the fact that it's over I'm carrying on with the flinging elsewhere. (OH is out and the programme I want to watch doesn't start until 9.00pm, after which I'm in Do Not Disturb mode for 90 minutes.)Better is good enough.0

Have a nice evening, ionafan.
Welcome back roundtuit.
Well I'm pretty pooped. Whole back garden has been vacced / swept, plants planted, toys gotten out and put away, washing put out and taken in, new plants watered, beds remade and Kidlets sorted.
They have had cereal for teait was wolfed down in comparative silence after the lunchtime faffing. I told them at 4 I wasn't making tea as everytime we are at the table they mess around, so I'll just put my feet up instead. It must be my cooking 'cos they both said "yaay can we have breakfast instead?"
I can barely keep my eyes open. Have had a shower though, so I don't smell of cat repellent spray. Gits using my garden as a litter tray. Seem to be avoiding where I sprayed last week (not surprised, it does stink) so I've gone all the way round. Hopefully they will poop in their own garden and not my kids play space. [/rant] lol
No plans for tomorrow, but better think of something, 5 days on my own with these two is making me a bit of a mardy-@rse :rotfl:Bossymoo

Husband did some gardening, so glad we finally had a sunny day and he was able to do that and I got some washing out on the line. My lovely mother has taken some ironing for me which is a big help, of course there is still more to be done. Boo! Two washes done and dried though and now nappies are in the machine and the dishwasher is on.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member #398 - Proud To Be Dealing With My Debts :T

Evening all
Great day. DS3 and DS1 played in the same men's team so I've been at the cricket most of the day. Popped to a lovely nursery/shop place just a few miles up the road from the ground and bought some great plants and a lovely cushion. Back at the ground the umpire gave me 4 dahlia tubers as he was moving house.
Flying - I've stripped a bed and done 2 loads of washing.
DH has been panting the LRThe birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
bossy - :wave:
I've brought in the washing and folded it ready to take upstairs .... I don't iron, I wash carefully.
DS wants to come home from Uni for a couple of days again, before his last exam and the end of year ball - his best friend/housemate has paired up with one of their female housemates/ another female is best friends with DS's ex (awkward) and the third one keeps coming home 'drunk and loud' and annoying everyone - so I get the feeling DS is ready for his Minton Street days to end. Sharing a house next Uni year (final year) with three males, which will hopefully be more straightforward! So I'll be trotting off to pigpen-land in the morning to fetch him....it's only 45 minutes each way, so we'll be home for a roast lunch with my parents.
Hopefully DS will see the difference today's stab at flying has made.
Would you like me to 'borrow' a small pink for a couple of days pigpen?

We bought some cat sensors for our last garden and they seemed to work, come to think of it I think we need to put them out here now.MFW 2025 No. 7 £1130/£1200

All washing done and put away. Decided to wash the winter duvet - silly idea, it is now too heavy with water for the WM to do a spin. Sick of pulling it out of the WM to rearrange to load weight. :mad:
Had HH Me time earlier - shower, defuzzed, toe nails painted, used up some body lotion and culled a couple of drawers of clothes, shoes and boots - feels good.
Baby rabbits are running all over the road outside - they are about the size of newborn kittens. Sooooooo cute.
Overdone it today and now think my back is broken - only G&T can fix it
Wish I could help, Pigpen. You really sound at the end of your tether. Hopefully tomorrow will be better for you.Decluttering junk and debt in 2016
