    Morning everyone, bit late on here this morning whoops, but I woke up tired again so went back for a laze for a few hours. We haven't finished painting the LR yet, top bit needs a 2nd coat, so can't do that room and no downstairs loo but will work on the bits I've missed from yesterday :)

    Both puddy tats are shut away in the dining room with a box, their bed & tree, and a big bowl of water. Neither of them are very happy about it, but until their 24hr fast is up it's best for them as their digestive system will get a rest. Have checked and neither are dehydrated, although I think No1 is really hungry as he's now back to normal but No2 is still poorly. It's almost like having kids already!

    Off round one of OH's friends for tea tonight so I might make a small cake to take with us for dessert. Shall add to the bottom of the list in case I get round to it :) Changed how I do my list too, will now remove bits I've done (other than dailies) then I know all the things I've missed over the week :D

    CY, i hope your DH hasnt snapped a tendon and i hope all is well with your mum and you get some reassuring news soon
    hugs good wishes and positive vibes where needed

    been decluttering the puter this morning, the boys have put so many photos on there its almost full, DS2 had put the same ones on about 5 times each think the recycling bucket is about full as well now.

    just had an email off tesc0 saying i no longer fit the criteria for the home panel, the only thing i can think ive done wrong is not shopping there so much recently. annoying as i really enjoyed doing it.

    finished the crafting part of this weeks personal challenge,

    Morning all, rang my mum this morning (step-dad is currently in theatre having a 7 hour op and she's sat at home on her own waiting for updates) feel so useless being so far away.
    Caught up on Top Model while running tests on my laptop that Dell have instructed me to run. Looks like I'll need a new keyboard, but I think the tech will come to my house. So that's not too bad.

    Time to start some cleaning!

  • Got a few of the little 'bits' done during the HHC: WM and DW are both on, breakfast things washed and away and surfaces tidied in the lounge. Just stopping for a drink and then I'll crack on with wiping down the surfaces and hoovering the lounge. I know I should take this opportunity to ring Orange and work, but *sigh*... okay, I'll do it!

  • Having a wrestle with the BD this week, the older Skint kids are furious with EX who is currently "seeing" someone who is one year older than DD1.....my Sis decided to have a week away in a B&B in London leaving DoM on her own without telling me..right on the run up to anniversary of DoD passing. Cue a midnight meltdown phone call from DoM......followed by a text row with Sis to get herself home asap.

    I can see so much in the house that needs doing before to get DD1 and DD2 off to Uni, but no motivation to do any of it.

    So I will lurk for a bit and will try to be back for end of the week.
    The cold never bothered me anyway
  • hugs skinty, sounds like you need one.

    just did a run round the island on wii quick shower and off to work now
