    Haha! We have parental controls on the chilblains' PCs stopping stuff and even turning them off at specific times :D - except DS's netbook, which he has for school and runs through school systems - and has no controls on whatsoever so p0rn can be easily obtained - and these are given to 11 year olds - grrrr!:mad:

    I've worked my n*ts off today (well, if I had any I would have) Dh has been sat on his bum in the office all day doing...... well, not sure what, really - hmph!

    Monday Minging & Flinging- Bathroom and Study/Pc Area
    Got 30 minutes to spare...
    Clear any clutter from desk
    Dust PC and desk and wipe off those cup rings!!
    Wipe keyboard, house phone, sockets, switches and mouse etc

    defragment your pc while doing this.

    Couldn't do any office stuff 'cos of DH being in there all day 'cept check floors were clear and clean when he took DD to a sleepover at teatime




    Extra mission: Take your pick!
    • Wipe the skirtings, door and window frames in these rooms - done in bathroom
    Anything deleted has been fully done :D




    Also extra for me:
    • [STRIKE]Clear dining room shelving units ready for new sideboard being delivered
      tomorrow
    • Put last night's ironing away[/STRIKE]
    • Take bag of 'stuff' to charity shop
    • Post 2 things at PO
    didn't do last 2 because rain has been horrid this afternoon - we've had the patio under an inch of water.


    As I couldn't get in the office I also did the following:
    • dealt with floordrobe and general floor stuff in our room
    • vacuumed our bedroom and our landing
    • scrubbed stains on our bedroom carpet from me applying the gradually builds up in colour type fake tan/ moisturiser and spilling it :o (They've still not gone :()
    • scrubbed UPVC window and door frames in dining room
    • wiped down skirting boards and light switches in dining room
    • relocated various things to garage
    • found more stuff to go in charity shop bag
    • started more ironing - king size bedding sets
    • 3 loads of washing - but have had to resort to TD because of the rain
    • took new curtains down in dining room and pulled them and rehung. Sponged off the strawberry smoothie already spilt across the floor length ones :mad::(
    Just about to tackle non DW washing up, tidy toys in lounge and then do yet more ironing. DH is sat on sofa playing some bubble bursting game on his phone......

    Anyone interested in one 14yr old boy and one 9yr old girl that can't stop bickering. Only 11 days to the schools go back, only 11 days....aaaarrrgg not coming quick enough!

    Swap you for two boys, one 12 and one 14, who are well behaved unless they are in the same room at the same time??? I have got 4 weeks left with my darlings. Sigh.

    Just a swish and swipe today. Very busy day at work and I am sooo tired. In fact I think I might be in bed soon.

    Still no sign of Ollie, I really cannot understand where he could be now. It's really starting to show on me now as I have developed a shake in my hands. Plus I seem to have a permanent empty feeling in my stomach..

    Managed to get 3 hours sleep this morning, till 9am. I think over the 3 days he's been gone I've had 7 hours sleep in total. I'm not sure who will sleep the longest when he returns - him or me. :D

    No flying has been done today, I've spent all day emailing the vets, adding to various FB sites and various other things relating to Ollie and going out checking for Ollie :D Maybe tomorrow I will get some done, even if it's just wiping down the kitchen surfaces..

    Probably no sleep again tonight, I really can't settle while he's missing. Last night I even had subtitles on the t.v. incase I heard him yowling. Did end up going out at 3am because I thought I had heard him but it was two cats fighting.

    Piggers glad Peaches came home after her wandering few days.
    Soappie meant to say, it's good to see you back :D
