    When the Pixie did actually go down she stayed there the night, so I got some sleep.. I even went to bed before midnight (just, it was 11:54!).. little implet is awake and fed now..


    Tiddles has a concert with school in Valliland today so decided to inform me at 8:45 as OH was loading them in the car she needed a pack up.. though I am sure the letter said a dinner is provided.. I threw one together anyway, those school ones aren't that wonderful. She will be back about 10pm!!


    Cuppa and laundry I think..


    I need to chase a repair for Dots car seat which is unusable at the moment so we can't go anywhere.

    Morning,

    Didn't sleep too well last night, have just woken up and out of bed. Glad there is no school run with big one away as if I had to do it, it would have meant no sleep.

    Dailies all done, an hours paid stuff sorted, WMx2 now on maiden and my online programs caught up with :D I do believe that I can leave the house soon to do my errands as my phone is on 98% charged. Bin men are in our road so I'll wait until they've been before I leave so I can put my bin back. Sun is shining, so I'll have to find my sunglasses before I can leave.

    Right, time to switch the laptop off and get moving :j This is only about the 5th time I've attempted to run these errands lol :rotfl: Laters :wave:

    I'm feeling a blurr this morning. Think I have a cold coming but last night DD1 put acrylic nails on DD2 and the stench coming from it _pale_made my throat very sore, and I was hiding upstairs away from them.
    I feel like a real slob, I'm not dressed yet :o I took DD1 to the station in my pj's this morning :eek: which is totally unlike me :o
    I stripped my bed and put the wash on, loaded the DW, washed out the girls bedroom bin and some storage boxes, they're drying off in the bath and decluttered a phone call to my mum. We both had a moan about my sister and were trying to work out what to do with her & her family's Christmas presents :(
    I'm now going to take some pills, make a coffee and unloaded the WM, which has just finished and put it in the TD and reload WM. Then it will be back to the bedroom . . .

    TTFN

    Change of plan, just got a text from DD2, shes forgotten her homework, can I take it up? Now I will have to get dressed!! :mad: :o

    Good morning. I'm in again this week but I'll be working from my own lists.

    Didn't keep up with the thread last week, spending too much time on the Internet, but got lots done.

    Today's tally so far
    Dailies done
    Freezer defrosted and cleaned
    Bathroom cleaned

    Off to collect number 3 gs from preschool in half an hour.
  • All I seem capable of doing right now is decluttering ibuprofen; AF is kicking my backside :( I had a terrible sleep, took me ages to drop off and I woke up a billion times, I felt as though my insides were on fire :eek:

    DS2 has been back to the dentist this morning, he had LA and a small filling, very brave with the needle, he cried when injected but managed a laugh two seconds later when he dentist said "Your tooth is asleep now, sssh, listen, I can hear it snoring!" :A

    Time to feed the WM and get the kitchen gutted. A weekend of neglect is easy to spot :o
