MoneyQueen, don't know how to help - sorry . . .

• [strike]Change kids beds[/strike]
• Boogie in each room
• [strike]Do whatever laundry ensues[/strike]

Ended up vacuuming living areas instead of bedrooms :rolleyes: They needed it more LOL
Boogie throughout the house will get done tonight cos the bin gets emptied tomorrow morning.
Took MIL to town to buy her friend a pressie for his birthday.
Met up with my sister and walked with her.

That doesn't sound like I've done much . . . but I feel like I have

Saying Hello now as I probably won't be home 'til late.

Criket Tartanmum, that IS an early start, you even posted before Denise! Hope you get a rest or at least an early night. And Woody, good luck with your first day list. Don't go cleaning crazy or you'll quick fall out with it, baby steps, baby steps.

It's a poor show when I have to rely on the internet to see what my pay is this month, pay slips don't turn up at work until long after the event..
Anyhow, it's food shopping and Metro centre tonight (grim) 'cos I've a wedding on Saturday and haven't got the pressie or a suitable oufit.
Popular week end for weddings isn't it? The only two this year I had invites to are the same weekend so I had to choose but still fork out for!

Happy Flying, hope you've got sunshine for hanging out laundry and airing the children!

Good morning everyone,hubby had to be up for 5am then that meant ds and dd3 got up as well :eek: both wide awake. I'm so tempted to get back into bed but i won't. Taken bins out , load of washing in, kitchen floor swept will mop it in a bit . Will tackle bathroom later when i'v woken up a bit if i go upstairs now i'll end up back in bed.
Will be going to see my mum and dad later when hubby gets back in as they are going on holiday on saterday and so dad will be away on his birthday so need to take his pressie and cards .Right then better go and get something to eat.

Morning!!!

I'm completely out of sync with the lists and I did the bathroom yesterday, so I'm choosing the sitting room for a detox. I haven't dusted in here or done the windows since Freya was born , so today's the day to sort it out. I'm going to get Owen swishing with the furry duster - I think he'd welcome the activity at the moment :rolleyes: !

Will post later with 'hellos' etc, until then, enjoy your day and your homes.

Morning all :hello: I had an okay shopping yesterday - walked 3+ miles (from M6 Motorway to the town centre...never again. I'm in so much pain in the back of my legs as they're aching I bought over £100 worth of stuff....for just over £50 :money:

• Walking boots - RRP £59.99 - Price paid = £17.99
• Trainers - RRP £49.99 - Price Paid = £25.00
• Boots toiletires - RRP £6.06 - Price paid = £0 (paid with points )

Everything else (lunch, tissues, bus fare) I paid for with cash and still came home with £6.62 change from £20 :j

So I am worn out, as we didn't get back from Barrow (picking DD up) until nearly 10pm and to top it off I've got a flu-like-bug that OH had at the weekend. It feels like my head is being crushed and I've swalled glass so no flying for me today except minimums and washing (4 loads :rolleyes: ) and lots of rest & hot drinks. I have the feeling I'll be having a nap this afternoon. So I'm off to put the first load of washing out on the line :wave:

Morning.

Tried to post last night but the site crashed on me again. Had a stressful one with all 4 boys at my mums yesterday while we had the make-up trial done, but have had a peaceful morning so far (touch wood) with Charlie.

Managed to do a few maintenance bits last night (empty bins, take ebay photos, put recycling and compost out, dealt with post, got one load through WM).

Today i have made sure i have kept charlie well entertained, but i have also had a walk up to the post box with him and posted our DVD rental back, and emptied the airers while we were upstairs.

I want to try and go to the supermarket today and get some veg and other bits to see us through.

Frozen pastry out to defrost as i'm going to make a pie for dinner tonight. Otherwise, will make sure that DH puts his stuff on ebay and i try to keep doing little jobs as and when i can, plus lots of marking as i only managed 4 papers yestersday (shattered so i watched ugly betty and desperate housewives end of season finales.)

Anyway, best not waste the nap time as god knows how long he will be asleep for or what mood he will be in. So far it has only been pleasant cos he is dead chuffed with himself cos he has learned how to clap and we have been playing games. :T

Quick cuppa and a couple of biccies as well.

See you all later, and thanks for the ebay tip.
Michelle, x

Morning all

Pounding headache today so I'm not going too mad.

S & S'd the bathroom and toilet (can't be bending over too much with this head).

Stripped DD's bed and washed bedding, also another load. Hung it all out. Got it all in when it rained. It's draped round indoors now. Keeps being sunny and then chucking it down so it can stay in now.

S & S'd kitchen.

Cable man has been again and it looks like it's working OK now. Fingers crossed.

I think my headache is stress, and I've had a twitch round my eye for about 5 days, I get that when I'm stressed too. Hopefully things will settle down again now. Dog still has her t-shirt on to stop her licking her scar and she hasn't even tried to get to it so I'm hopeful that it will start to heal now. Please. If it doesn't heal right she will have to have it all done again

Morning all, I have posted tomorrows list very early after noticing the site will be offline this evening. Giving people chance to print out/write down if they wish etc.

Money Queen with the lists etc, can you save the sheet as an image file (bmp/jpeg etc) then upload onto a hosting site ? Other than that no idea.
