I've taken DS to school. Posted 2 letters. Been to uncles garage and collected the unsold tickets for bonfire night. I've sold 15 out of 75 .
I've folded one load of washing, got one out of TD and will fold after my coffee. Next load in.
Been up to little monkey bedrooms and picked up everything from their floors and put it all on their beds. If they want to sleep tonight, they'll have to clear them *mwahahaha!
Puss cat is chasing a plastic soldier around the lounge and doing her utmost to kill it. This is after I stopped her chewing through the wires on the iPad!
Drawer removed from my side of the bed and brought downstairs for repair either tonight or tomorrow.
2 carrier bags of clothing bagged up ready for charity shop. Will put in car later but shops not open yet .
Will drag Hoover round shortly, it's not too bad as I did it on Sunday. I may also whip the vax around (again) as the last lot of water was far cleaner so I think the carpets may be almost clean!
HHC at 10:10 anyone? I shall Hoover and maybe iron.

Pigpen~~ being nosey here, but how many loaves of bread / pints of milk / ceral boxes does your family go through in a week?
and how did you manage to save £200 on your food shop? well done.

2-3 loaves a day ... I just bought 16 loaves to displace the air in the freezer.
4-8 pints of milk depending on who I have here and who has cereal.
Cereal.. usually almost a full box of Weetabix a day and an extra few bowls of whatever else we have.. The 2 littlies will have up to 6 Weetabix for breakfast!!! :eek::eek:
It is fruit we go through like lightening though.. bananas and apples and satsumas and grapes I stock upon just about every other day.

I do my order on mysupermarket.. you then get options of where you can save money.. buying more but on offer or smaller/bigger packets etc.. so I saved £153 there and a further £45 was saved splitting the order between Tesco and asda then I had codes for extra bits off certain products plus extra points etc.. £203 saved! .. good really or my shopping would have been nearly £700!!!!!!!

I did another smaller order for Friday delivery too :o more fruit, veg, bread, milk, oil for fryer and more loo roll... we go through 3 a day at least.

Moomin now has hand foot and mouth.. her tongue is really sore.

Me time now as I'm watching the choir. Think he needs to shave though !

I loved it last night - but he has dark hair that is going grey/white with a ginger beard that has clumps of blond/white in.... was I the only one to think how unusual that is?

Kaz2904

Oh poor moomin. That's sore isn't it? . Well I ended up pulling the little sofa out from the window bay. I washed it and the walls, skirting and window sills. Very mouldy. Windows now open to dry it out a bit. I need to be more vigilant with pulling out the sofa daily to allow the air to circulate. DS jumps on it and pushes it back. Naughty boy.
Decided against the ironing. I'm sure I can come up with a valid reason if pressed .

She has a patch of ulcers on her tongue with about 12 ulcers and the patch is probably a bit bigger than a £2 coin. She has gone to school, we received a letter saying to send them in as it is rife anyway and so long as they feel well it is ok. I have rescheduled her hospital appointment though.. you don't know who else will be in there and any infection can be dangerous for those with lowered immunity so she is there in 4 weeks instead.

I think it is time to shampoo switch again.. I have to do it every few years as it starts to make me itch and I am scratting my scalp off but don't have bugs.. .. It takes ages to find one that I can use too

DW done
Asda delivery brought and put away.. OH just putting the last bits in the shed freezer. I am going to start a box of Christmas stuff out there too.. jams, sauces etc for now.. stuff mice can't nibble into!!

poor moomin, the nursery my DD3 works at is rife with that at the mo she said some are really poorly with it. they've said the same thing here unless they are suffering send them in but with it being so contagious its just going round in circles. Hope she starts getting some let up in it soon and it clears

Dusty thank you so much for the push, im pleased to say my ironing asket is empty! at the bottom of it was a shirt i bought DH on holiday in august and my almost full circle skirt that take ages to do. I will attempt to iron as it comes in now so that it doesnt build up again (at least till the new year)
will make tidying the 2nd spare room as my nov challenge now (and that will be a challenge its become a dumping ground for alsorts.
