If you sneeze, loudly and suddenly, in front of 29 children they stop dead in their tracks. And look surprised:rotfl:

Laundry done
Been at horse piddle most of the day.
They rang me first thing to say DF hadn't had a good night. And would I like to go in early to see him. He has now been moved back to high dependency unit.0 -
and as usual I have done the dishwasher and run out of steam. I will make myself at least S&S the bathroom before I get in the bath.

Oh, dancemum, I'm sorry. Sending healing vibes, hope he can hold his own soon.
I've got party clothes together, hung some washing up, emptied DW, made DD a snack and checked my purse. Oh and made a cuppa
Need to finish the washing up and decide if I'm washing my hair tonight, or morning. And get my own party clothesand decide if I'm taking a clean top or just going as I am.
But now? Tea break!Bossymoo

I said if MrsChaos said she would tidy then I would so here I am
Dear me it is a complete tip
Not as much as this place, judging by the speed you're managing to get things ticked off your list.Oh dear. I still haven't done anything. Unless you count playing hot wheels, doing jigsaws and watching the muppets
Of course it counts, bossy!
DS2 has been great today and the LR floor looks a lot better after our HHC to Christmas songs. :T
I really want to try to clear the DR table, though, as I'll need it for studying. Somehow I don't think a HH will be enough...
Sending (((hugs))), dancemum. Sounds like it's a tough time for you at the moment.0 -

A quick question:
Does anyone have an idea what to do with our old dinner service? It doesn't look nice anymore and I've been given a much better one, but I don't want to throw it away if there's a possible use for it.0 -
I did a lot yesterday and Sunday MrsChaos. Tonight I have done theDW and binned rubbish/wiped the bathroom. DR, snug, BR and hall are shamefully bad. Boys bedrooms aren't great either.
Didn't Greenbee find some cake stand making kits for pretty plates?'If you have a garden and a library, you have everything you need' Marcus Tullius Cicero0 -
Thanks, hex. I have rather a lot of plates and bowls, but will have a look. Quite please with the difference a few HHCs have made.0
