    As well as cooking proper food and veggies for dinner.. I have corned dog hash in mind for tomorrow.. it will chuck in the SC and be done when I have patience and time and a lack of exhaustion..

    I'm not able to do a deep clean, I barely have room for a basic clean at the moment!! Backroom is on my cards to be battled and the kitchen ceiling is going to be painted this week if it kills me!

    Mumoftwo, well done on getting help, good luck with the CBT.

    We have booked our flights today and our 2 nights in Yosemite np. Next pay day we will need to book some more bits and bobs. I'm trying not to think of the total cost as it's :eek:!

    I'm seriously contemplating rejoining you all tomorrow (I realise I've been away for a rather long time...). I'll see how I feel.

    I now have approx 1/3 more space than previously, and the house has so much potential that there isn't much more to say about it :)

    Living with no flooring, no shower and a 'freestanding' kitchen (well, it has an oven in it, and currently a fridge and freezer as the utility room had to have the old boiler plinth taken out last week...) means it is challenging to keep it civilised. But I'd like to make sure that it is clean before any new stuff goes in. After all, it was filthy when I moved in (hence the lack of flooring and kitchen - they went in skips) and I don't want to keep the dirt once it's all done.

    Bossy how is DS's throat?

    He's ok thanks :A keeps telling me he doesn't feel good, but is quite giddy still, for a poorly boy ;) he doesn't have it bad but I'm concerned about the white patches. Will get him to docs in morning

    Thanks, yes it's the accessories I'm missing. There are a few bits in t0ys r us I could get him, just need to not run away with myself as I've already spent £40 and we have a party to pay for yet... Plus he's got a heap of toys at Christmas too. Spoilt brat ;):D

    DD went to bed nicely. I was putting some more clothes away then went to check on her, she was getting dozey bless her but said "I not out of bed mummy! Don't shut the gate!" Aww. So I told her she was a good girl, gave her another kiss and I've <touch wood> not heard any more!

    She has a new coat so I've sewn buttons on the cuffs for her mitts and put a label in the hat. Quick kitchen tidy round and we're all ready for a new week!

    "See" you tomorrow!

    Greenbee!!!:j:hello: I've been back since the Christmas holidays, and if your ears have been burning, it's because DD and I were talking about the London get-together and walk.

    I have managed to keep up with the list, sort of, well, all rooms this week have been cleaned by me or the rest of the family! I even gritted my teeth and did the bathroom this evening.

    I really hope next week will be easier than last, I was totally shattered by Friday, and had to cancel an event I was supposed to be going to on Saturday.

    I am not sure that I would manage a deep clean, although I really need to do it. I'll do what I can!

    Welcome back Greenbee!

    Goodness knows what I will get done though now DS has gone back there will be less mess, less laundry etc...

    I have loads of jobs I need to catch up on.

    I have no motivation.
    I have no time.

    AAARGH

    on a positve note I have a load waiting to go through the TD and can put a washload on (towels I think) tonight.

    I'm finding things a bit hard at the moment.

    Hugs, Valli.

    Also, big hugs for Helen Jelly and Mr Jelly.

    I need to deep clean pretty much the whole house, certainly the top two layers. Anything you put on the list would be appropriate here Dusty and while I might not get round to it all on the day in question, once it's on a list these things usually do get done here. Eventually.
    Better is good enough.

    DD1 has started lessons but is finding it very challenging. Hopefully it will get easier...

    DS2 found it much harder to start with than DS1 but is probably now at the same stage in the same time.

    I loved our visit to Yosemite. We stayed at Winona Lodge which was expensive but just wonderful, I have such fond memories.

    About to start the list. 'Tis the night before school so DS3 is getting himself in a stew :( but I now know one cause of concern so email to HoY to follow.

    Greenbee welcome back old bean.
