FRIDAY EXTRA - Don't forget your ME time this weekend - I'm going to get some extra SLEEP - gonna have a nanny nap or two :rolleyes: - was awake half the night cos DS1 called to say he's going flatting - my mind was in a turmoil with all the things I decided he hadn't thought about . . . so had an hour nap around lunchtime today cos I was SO tired.

Heading into another week in which nothing will be achieved but hopefully one load of washing and dinner each day. I will try for more, but I'm not getting my hopes up. :rolleyes:

PHEW!!!... The last of my ebay parcels are now parcelled up ready to go.

I have washing on the line and in the dryer and in both WM's waiting to be dried when there is space.

I hvae the front room to find under all the mess now.. *sigh*

hubby is off on one again today.. not entirely sure what has triggered this paranoia but the wrath descends on me once again for doing absolutely sweet FA as always.. one day I will actually do something to justify this! Not to mention of course the fact DS1 is being a twerp.. he dumped his gf then got pee'd off when she started seeing someone else.. oh and of course being so old I don't understand.. lol... I may be driven to drink before 3pm again!!!

Pigpen aren't families great. My mother's decided she's going to visit today for the first time in several months. Hassle for me as sitting room is a mess, much worse than the pic I moaned about and the fact she's scared of the dogs (have warned her we now have 3) she always makes them worse by overreacting and screaming on if the puppy jumps at her, so will have to pop them out in their beds while she is here.

Trying to air the house out a bit but puppy keeps trying to jump out of the sitting room window (6ft drop outside) so keep having to close it. Silly girl.
List for now

[strike]Make steak stew and put in SC, some sausages in for DS
Clear dining table [/strike]

Well done katherine


I've got the back grass cut and cut back a shrub that was trying to take over the world. Was going to cut the front next but DH is trying to set up spare room television/video to tape from freeview box and I've got to make cups of tea and make encouraging noises and be sworn at.....

Five whole hours or garden hacking, garden wheelie filled, one full carload to the tip and another one loaded in for when it stops raining. It was lovely 'til 4 and I just managed to get the washing in and tools put away and then deluge! Daft cat dashed out of the kitchen and straight outside into his little house to get out of the rain

I'm pleased with what I've done but I'm a long way off being finished. I'll just have to keep pecking away at it like I did inside the house.

Shirleypark, well done on the DIY-athon. Bet you'll be glad to get back to work! Lil_me, have fun with your mother and Pigpen, good luck with the grumpy men in your life! Witchypoo, give it a few weeks following this thread and you wont have any chaos to be embarrassed about!

It's letting up a little now so I best go offload this lot before I end up having to take it to work tomorrow.

Hiya
Hope everyone's had a good weekend. I did the race for life with my 8 year old today. She did so well and i'm so proud of her. Most of the house is tidy ready for going in hospital. Every time I get up I just tidy up another 10 things. DH has just done a couple of adverts for selling DS's cabin bed and a couple of other things. We're just going to put them in the local newsagents and see if they sell. It'll get rid of some more clutter which is always good.

Uniforms are already clean for tomorrow and just need to change a few beds. Hope we all have a good week. Catch up soon xx

I'm so jealous of all of you who've been in the garden, it's done nothing but rain all day today
