    DD is back to school today & my lovely cleaning ladies are coming too. They will do the floors so I've taken them off my list. I have changed DS's bed as his room was starting to smell like a teenage boys room can :eek: and emptied all the bins. I'll have a tidy round and then start on the list.

    Hope you all have a good day

    10lb to lose & keep off in 20204.5lb/10lb:rotfl:
  • Not much else got done yesterday except dw , wm and got the car cleared out. My sister and family came up and spent most of the afternoon and evening here.


    Plan today is to get caught up with the list, boys back today so no excuse. :rotfl: Rhys's wardrobe needs done and bathroom done, Mr A coming between 9-11am so i'll crack on while waiting on him, at least at that end of the house i'll hear the van. Our bedroom could do with a bit of a sort too.


    Dd all ready for school just waiting on taxi, rhys has appeared up and believes it's still the middle of the night. He seems better with earache but did appear in at 4am after having a bad dream, must have been bad as he asked me to hold him. :(


    Dusty that's awful sad news.
    Nicki poor DD, hope her ankle heals quickly.

    Hi, another busy day today. Kitchen/diner is our biggest room so takes a bit of cleaning. I will do what I can!

    Other than that paid work to do, a friends tax return to finish, online course work to do, voluntary job to update, OHs accounts to look at ....

    I am not going to panic - one thing at a time! Off to get showered and dressed and get off to work now.

    Oh and I MUST make an appointment for the hairdresser today or I am going to start looking really scary.

    susan not sure how else to describe it write what you want then highlight it [STRIKE]like this[/STRIKE] then click on the little square tab showing the [STRIKE]S[/STRIKE] symbol once you click submit post it should be struck out.
    if you are editting a post you need to go to click go advanced below the [STRIKE]S[/ STRIKE] for the button to appear

    Thank you Mrs MP. That's what I've been doing but it doesn't show up on the preview. I'll give it another go later when I update the [STRIKE]list[/STRIKE]. Oooh think it might have worked this time!

    Morning all

    Just for a change it's pouring with rain here.

    DS3 is unwell with stomach pains. He had this on the weekend, it seems to come in waves and then go. I'll take him in later if he improves.

    Moomin - welcome - babysteps hun. Your home didn't get like this in a week and it won't be solved in a week. My tip is any area which is clear/clean try to maintain it then over time you will start to notice a difference. Be kind to yourself you have a lot on your hands with 2 littleones.

    Froddy how are things today?

    Boddy how did DD get on at the GP?

    Nicki sweet of our DD's friend, hope her ankle improves soon

    Going to put WM on and then have a shower, I may clean the bathroom whilst I'm up there.
    The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair
