Just to add to my perfect morning , Charlie is really not well. Screamed at me for an hour and a half, then when i had finally got us both dressed, projectile vomited into the toybox, all up my telly cabinet, big puddle on the laminate, and across my LR rug. So, both of us fully changed, rang DH to get him to bring the henry home to deal with cat pee and baby sick, and a trip to the Drs booked for this afternoon. Rang sister to say i might not make the nail appointment, to stress there because she has had a row with the best man, and the suit delivery was missing a couple of items, and people are pulling out at the last minute when she has already paid for them.

:grouphug: to grannynise - what a dreadful situation, well done for today and thinking of you for the weeks to come as you help the kids through it all, when is the funeral?

Michelle - sorry Charlie is poorly, what with his new teeth and the projectile vomiting he could make an interesting addition to the wedding party .

Hi to everyone else, list done for today with just bedding to put back on DS2 bed. DH and DD both back today from an outdoor exhibition and an adventure thing all week for both so WM and TD in overdrive tonight I think. Shame about the weather. Have got big joint of roast beef out for tea as celebration, will try to do all veg etc before having to pick DD up so I can concentrate on her stories. I don't expect her to stop talking or even draw breath until she falls to sleep in her own clean and comfy bed!

Hope everyone has a good weekend and I'll see you all for a flying week next week. (when is lil_me back?)

Also did a bit of amazon stuff - going to tidy book stocks up after my coffee.

Been to PO, managed to get all the washing dry OUTSIDE!!! before the heavens opened again. We got off real lightly down here by the sounds of the stuff on the radio.

Might even do tomorrow's ironing today later with some down stay practice for my young dog!! Off to dogtraining tonight - might take my youngster as I now feel at last able to train a bit with him after the groups have gone home, if I dont cough too much.

have a good day all - keep flappin'

grannynise

Thank you so much :T for doing the thread this week Michelle, especially with all the other things you have to do. I've liked your extras ... maybe they're a sort of level 4?
Hope the rain stays away for you.

Mums just been here for a chat. (:hello: Mum I know you'll be reading this) and arrived just as I had finished doing DD's bedroom - 2 boxes for ebay/charity & HALF a bag of rubbish :j Pulled out all the ebay stuff from under our bed and stacked it up then I actually hoovered under the bed for the first time in about 6 weeks. Also re-jigged the airing cupboard as I wasn't happy with it. :rotfl:

Now it's time for me to go and get changed back into my jeans & top and make a pit-stop at the Co-op before picking DD up - I have a feeling OH is going to need some cola to go with his whiskey this weekend judging by the profanities flying around last night while he was doing something for work :eek:

Laters :wave:

Hi guys, could I possibly join in here, the house is screaming for me to do something.

As it is Friday already I will do the dailies and then see what else I can fit in today and then get really stuck in next week.

I have read your posts and you all seem lovely, can't wait to get de-cluttered. Of course in order to get completely de-cluttered I need to recycle DH, any ideas on what category he will fall under?

poohbear59

grannynise,
I am thinking of you. I have to admit reading about what you have had to do I think you are very strong. I had a 13 year old in my form died a few years ago and it has got to have been one of the most difficult times in my life.

I am just about keping on top of my lists. We have eight of us now at home so although I have more help, I also have more to tidy up. It is difficult to get to use the computer now too but I will call in and say 'Hi' when I can. Thanks for the lists this week, I pin them up and everyone can see what needs to be done, hopefully do something to help too.

Afternoon all (sorry can't work out what time it is for the other side of the world!)

Had a busy morning food shopping and doing a mystery shop. Bumped into a friend too so just had to have a cuppa with her!

So all I have crossed off today is things I have done earlier in the week. Have a good weekend,

Mamashaz

Just try freecycle. People will take almost anything.
