    Bathroom done one of the kids have chipped big lumps of plaster off the wall then thrown it down the loo:eek: so i had to get it all out good job it was me who found it and not oh he'd have gone crazy. Also for some reason dd2 had put some course work in the bathroom right next to the end of the bath so its soaking wet and doesnt smell to good no doubt she'll rant and rave about it even though she put it there.

    Just checking in :hello:

    I've been busy this morning but not in the house. Its finally a cloudy enough day for me to be able to get in the garden (I burn way to easily even with Factor 50 on sometimes! :mad: <--thats how red I can get :rotfl: ) so I'm trying to get stuff done but I'm fast running out of space. PLUS I need to find my printout of what the plants I've got look like and grow size wise as I only have them labelled as what they are as I bought them all from AlanRomans :money:

    I've sat down and bounced 50 emails as I'm pretty sure DD doesn't need to loose weight or make her p**is bigger :mad: and I've had my lunch. Now I'm off out to attack the last few pots of plants, and perhaps sow some more lupins, honesty & lettuce. Then I could really do with sweeping & swilling the yard/garden :rolleyes:

    Will check back in later when I'm done. :wave:

    I've been here reading but not really posting for a couple of days. I posted yesterday then went back and deleted it. Been in a funny mood all week.....


    Anyway, Good Morning (just) all

    Did lots of housework yesterday so I'm up to date with the lists. Today I got the front lawn cut, swept up in the back garden again (next door have a cherry tree and for some reason the unripe cherries are falling off all the time, I don't think there will be any left by the time they are supposed to be ripe).

    I've made chocolate muffins and a victoria sandwich. The dog keeps rushing out to the kitchen every time I move but there's no way she's having any!

    Feel very tired, I think I'll try for a nap this afternoon. I've been waiting for a parcel to be delivered for my daughter so I haven't had a nap the last couple of days and she told me this morning she's already had it, delivered to work.....

    I'll try not to delete this one.

    Ithen the questions started! I lost count of how many I answered and I've ended up posting one of them on another forum as I don't know the answer but someone there is bound to know it ;)

    Hi, Nicki :beer: My 2, DS especially, were (still are) biq question-askers. I reckon it's good for them to interact and be interested in the world around them, but I now ration DS to 100 Qs a day ;);) I know how tiring it can be :D Can you point me to a link for your thread?

    Aimeelister - love the list :T

    Juststarting - one thing I always bear in mind is that you can't tidy up clutter; you have to get rid otherwise you spend all your time moving stuff around.

    Busy morning. So far I've tidied the bedroom and changed the bed. I'm going to go and dust and sweep. Done a big tidy up in the kitchen, and am now doing some filing.

    [STRIKE]Clear clutter from floor
    Wipe down tiles in bathroom[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Clean shower screen/curtain if you have one/if required
    Clean windows[/STRIKE]
    Declutter Mission Task
    PAPERWORK - Oh yes that dreaded drawer/pile, give it 15 minutes of your time today sorting through, making sure anything urgent is dealt with etc, any urent calls that need making?

    Dont mind this too much as have been polishing the tiles daily as they show up the watermarks and it drives me bonkers everytime I sit on the loo I can see them as the light shines in at that angle.

    Also to do tomorrow:-

    [STRIKE]Usual pre-school routine[/STRIKE]
    Tesco delivery between 12 & 2pm
    [STRIKE]Wash bedding[/STRIKE] hung out to dry
    [STRIKE]Ironing
    Sort bed for mum [/STRIKE](comes tomorrow pm - Yeah!!)
    Clean light fitting in kitchen (working on the plan if I clean it often enough it will look better - not worked so far!)
    [STRIKE]S & S lounge, Kitchen & Bedrooms[/STRIKE]
    Clean bedroom windows (didn't do today)
    Make lemon cheesecake (once Mr T's has been)
    Prep stuff for Roast
    [STRIKE]Pick up contacts from opticians[/STRIKE]
    Weed flower boarders again
    [STRIKE]Put BM on[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Ironing[/STRIKE] - done & put away

    Not done too bad. May get to weed this pm but it rained in the night and everything is drenched, so if I go weeding 2 littles end up covered in mud too:rolleyes: , do I really want to clear that mess up :eek: NO!

    Waiting for Mr T to arrive then will make up bed for mum (got it airing at the moment).

    Everyone seems busy today. I feel really tired as the girls both coughed what felt like constantly all night. Was tempted to go the caffine route but that gives me bad headaches so opted for lucozade. Has worked so far as I felt like doing nothing.

    Cuppa and lunch me thinks :D

    Hiya

    Emmie1234 - sorry to hear about your daughters impending op. They're always such a worry bless them.

    Shirley Park - is that one of your rats in the picture. I used to have three rats, brothers, and they were such good fun. Real characters and definetly the best small mammal pet you can get.

    I've had a call that my car will be ready to pick up on Saturday so am going to put it up for sale this evening in the hope I might get a few calls ready for getting it back.

    Flying very slowly today as woke up with dodgy back again. Hoping to get some new medication from doctor this afternoon so I can at leat move a bit better. Just going to put things that are in the wrong place in a pile for everyone else to put away when they get back from school / work etc. So, flying in slow motion today.

    Have a good day xx
    January budget
    Nothing left!

    Hi Everyone,
    I am not flying at the moment, have hit another one of those no energy,pain days. Haven't been able to sleep and then didn't wake up til 11am. DS3 has b'day party here tonight at 7pm. Luckily kids are big enough to do it all themselves if they want to. My list of things to try is sooo.. long I am not going to post as it is just depressing. I will leave flying until I feel more able again and will be back when I am bright and happy with some energy again.

    Hi everyone!
    can't quite believe it is 1.43already - and no flying yet! You know how it is, 'just popped into town' to pick up a paper and a pressie for my brothers wedding tomorrow, next thing I know, it is midday, and I am heading home for lunch :mad: wish I wasbetter at 'just popping in'!!

    anyhow, got back, have made two very-blackout-completely-blackout blinds for DD's room, and although going to bed at 7, she hasn't been getting to sleep til nearly 10pm (she's 4, nearly 5) and is cream-crackered both at home, and at school. hopefully these will have the desired effect in the grand unveiling tonight. gotta be worth a try eh?

    just looked at the list for today, and well, gonna give level 1 and 2 a go. if I get near my desk it will be a miracle. I'll be praying for a miracle then :rotfl:

    hope everyone is having a lovely day
