Keep walking into my sun room since I redecorated/had new flooring. The change in there is amazing, I can't believe it's the same room. Sad but hey-ho.

gibble for the loft on the gallery landing now labelled up and ready to go in the loft (I have pieces of cereal packet with one hole in the corner tied onto the zip of each laundry bag, so instantly I know what is inside without unzipping in the loft and subjecting the contents to stray loft insulation fibres :eek:)
DD1 has promised to help me get these up in the loft tomorrow, there is one bag to go in the log cabin, which is DD2 Uni bag. I am working on the premise that the big C investigation is going to be all clear and she is going in September as planned rather than having to defer for a year or more.
In related news, DD2 is now down from 3 a day to 2 a day.. a 90% reduction from Monday last week when she was at 25 a day, very pleased she is doing so well, hopefully by the time we get her appointment she will have quit completely :j
Had myself HHI earlier not, half hour ironing, but half hour Insanity exercise DVD, this is now day 15 of doing this and I do feel better for doing it, but today is the first time I managed to do it before stupid o'clock :rotfl::eek::rotfl::eek:
I must go up in the loft as I need to get my yoga mat out, gave myself a carpet burn doing a low plank earlier, don't want to be doing that again....at this rate my car will be able to find its own way to Minor injuries without the SatNav
Right time to go into Daisy Mode, hopefully for the last time before breakfast and then start again in the morning.
Nighty night, and don't let the bed bugs bite! :wave:The cold never bothered me anyway0 -

Cleaned out the food recycling bin, as there is so little waste here I tend to forget about it, needless to say to day when I did put something in it, it stunk.....so it is now full of water /bleach / washing up liquid.

froddington-love the wee quote, guessing you work with primary age (at least i hope you do):rotfl:
Dancemum hope the pink washes out of the stuff its bled into, really annoying when that happens:mad:
DD3 came to walk DS2 to school so hes away nice and early
really funny last night DS2 had told me he was on the park with friends but he went down to meet someone near the chippy, DD3 was driving by and saw him so rang him asking what he was doing, he about wet himself thinking he was going to get in trouble. soon as he got in he asked if shed rung. this morning he was asking her how she knew where he was. she convinced him that hes fitted with a tracker so she can keep tabs on him. he asked how she knew he was with a girl and she said she can follow him on her lap top using the street camera as his tracker allows that.:rotfl: gullible or what;)
DS1 has some friends to meet and something to do in town later this morning so hopefully that means ill get something done today
