Left for cricket at 11:30 and got back just in time to collect DS2 from work at 9pm.

Starving and exhausted.

That's a lot to happen in a couple of days, CY. Hope you have some good news soon.

Hope someone had food ready and waiting for you, dusty.

I think I need to follow your good example, roundtuit. The decluttering has ground to a halt a bit since the house has started to look better (but not good). I spent the evening starting a project (taken the fabric from DS2's old inflatable sofa to bits so I can make a bean bag for him) instead of planning for Monday, so tomorrow will be a busy day for the paid stuff.

Night all x

I've munched another frog this afternoon then started on filing DD's school work. It took me the best part of 4 hours to get it to where we currently are! :eek: But it was a mix of some odd bits from year 2 & 3, odd bits & exercise books from year 4 (her teacher kept them back in case inspectors wanted to see them apparently?!?), nearly all her year 5 work including exercise books and then everything from year 6 with books to boot. I even found stuff from when she was in Brownies. She's only about to start the last half term of year 7, so I think we're doing pretty good :rotfl::rotfl: Some more bits to sort out tomorrow but I quit at 8pm to eat & watch some TV.

Tomorrow I need to try and use a new to me drawing program on DD's laptop to draw some legs on a creature she's "designed" for Biology. She tried herself but they went wrong, then she got frustrated & I said I'd do it this time before she decided to teach the laptop to fly :eek: Going to invest in a smart pen to use on both our laptops. It'll help her when she's got artistic homework, and I can use it for A LOT of minor projects I'd like to do

Now I'm off to bed. Lots of bits to finish tomorrow, but both of my wheelie bins are 3/4 full so I need to remember not to start any more flinging Can't wait until Monday morning: DD back to school, posting the form to the CSA and then phoning the charity to come and collect the donations I have for them That will mean that once that pile has left I will have an almost empty corner in my room for the first time in nearly 6 years :j

See you in the morning folks :wave:

Since the trouble earlier in the week I have bitten all my nails something I don't do. I have made them hurt.

Kitchen put to bed. Night night all x

Opto-mum.. that is very sweet of your gran.. none of my family even know I am pregnant lol.. only OH and the children know and the children haven't mentioned it and neither have I. I've not seen any of my family since Dec-Jan so no one knows.. I doubt I'll get to the birth without one of them discovering it though lol.

We went to see Star Trek.. tbh, it is rubbish, but it was an evening out just me and OH which was nice. DD2 and DS2 were at home and the beastlings were in bed snoozing so it hardly counts as babysitting. DD2 was asleep on her bed with the light on when we got back and DS2 is still on his computer I think.

We came home, remade the bed and I brought my lappy up so I am currently slobbed in my bed hoping my very poofy cankles are better by the morning as they are very uncomfortable.

I really need to paint my toe nails but I am too lazy.. I might use that as incentive to finish tidying my room.. when it is done I can paint them!!! lol There is so much needs doing in the house still, I feel like I am getting nowhere yet I think about how much I have flung lately and there is barely any difference it is very demoralising.

anyway.. off for a browse of FB before heading to the land of ZZZzzzz

Pigpen - stop being so hard on yourself! You have removed over 30 binbags this week. :T Non-pregnant peeps haven't even managed that and you have a large family too. Cut yourself some slack, petal. Re the nails: you are not lazy - you are knackered! I'm convinced any before and after pictures will show you exactly how far you have come in the last couple of weeks. Now, go and make those nails your priority in the morning and all the rest will fall into place .... eventually!

My bag of nail stuff is buried somewhere in the detritus that is my bedroom so I can't paint them until I unearth it! .. see, incentive!

We are at the stage where is it made 10 times messier in the name of tidying before we see any progress. The small girls room is looking better, though I must do a furniture shuffle as the 2 pests can reach to empty a cupboard from their cots, I am thinking of filling the drawers they can reach with things that will easily tidy from the beds.. books, Leapfrog explorers etc.

It is a lack of storage that needs addressing.

I am still aiming for the 50 binbags out before school on Monday.. I might have to get a wriggle on tomorrow

Valli

My friend has been round. I made veggie chilli (she is veggie and I like it anyway;)) and decluttered Frexienet (sp?) cava and Pimms. Am attempting to plough through rest of Pimms...

hic

Pimms has cucumber, strawberries, mint and orange slices so is multiple fruit portions and healthy *sniggers* also decluttered Best Exotic Marigold Hotel - lovely film.

Have washed best crysal glasses

House is v v quiet as kids have been to Etihad Stadium to see Muse supported by Dizzee Rascal and Bastille
