I have a chest of drawers full of nice clean baby things. I have cleaned said chest of drawers of the sticker residue *all hail WD40!!*

I have packed Dots bag for the weekend.. she need socks in but is otherwise done.. 6 outfits should be enough for 2 days don't you think? Squeaks bag need knickers and socks.. I guess I need to pair some up *delegate*

The bush is attacked with clippers.. OH kind of got carried away. Good job it is privet and will have leaves on again by the morning no doubt!

Squeaks bed is remade after being sopping wet again this morning.

I have a pile of washing to put away and some pics to do of maternity stuff I need to get sold asap. I have 3 empty drawers and an empty vanity unit which are next on my 'filling' list.

I will have some floor in my room!

I knit, too.:D Occasionally.:D

Maybe I need to store the fur, in separately labelled bags, one bag per dog, then make squares that I could stitch together to make a blanket. Line said blanket, and embroider the name of the dog on the bit of lining on the back of each square.

Of course, all this would leave no time for Flying, and I'd get thrown off the Flylady thread and told to join the Slobladies instead. :rotfl:

I'm still here.. .. I really shouldn't be, I do nothing on a daily basis!

I've been knitting a beautiful circular alpaca blanket (stopped for now cause it's too darn hot!) but I swear there is more cat fur on the blanket than there is on the cat!
Done everything on the lists but need to get some energy to tackle hotspot of the box at the end of my bed. It's full up with camping gubbins which needs to be collated ready for our camping trip.
Doubt I'll have time before I go back to work though as I have to leave at 6:30.
Wasn't up to doing anything this morning, shattered after shift from hades. Got absolutely covered in blood this morning. It was like the Texas chain saw massacre :eek:.
Came home to a lovely tidy house as DH had done loads last night. He's bought a new air freshened too which smells nice and doesn't make me feel ill, so that's a bonus .
Glad your DH still has his job Cy.
Hope the morphine starts controlling your DH's pain Hj.
Hugs to those who need. Hope you found a matching pair of shoes piggers!

Right I need food for Friday too now *cry*.. Apparently they are doing 'dips and things because no one will want a hot meal'.. Speak for yourselves.. so OH has been TOLD I expect a takeaway.. he can have bird food if he likes, I want meat! .. plus the littlies won't eat salad or baguette etc they require too much chewing for little jaws.. then there is the general food lack of hygiene.. smoking/fingers in mouth/fingers in food etc.

I've suggested going out for dinner on Saturday as Friday is OH's birthday.. but then I just remembered they would want to sit outside like freaks which means I don't eat.. I could sit inside by myself I guess peacefulness!!

Breakfasts : Weetabix, sugar puffs and Rice krispies
Lunch/dinner : dinosaurs/dippers, fish fingers, 'eatballs, pasta the children can eat (they had the enormous bows which the girls refused to eat) my rice, cooked chicken bits. That should keep the 3 of us going do we think?
As well as the snacks for in the car.. biscuits, cereal bars, crisps, jellies, rice cakes, fruit, cheese/babybels, dairylea dunkers, yoghurts.
And the girls juice and my oasis. .. and milk for the cereal.

Do we think that is enough for 48 hours? lol (there is a Tesco up the road) Just looking at what I can freeze for the journey.

My daughter is so classy.. she just got up off the potty, ignored OH holding out tissue for her to dry herself an used her dress instead!
