I didn't quite understand PMSL, so after a lot of headscratching, and the best I could come up with was Pity My Sad Life, I looked it up and got
'IM language for !!!!ing Myself Laughing. Mostly it's not literally meant .....'

Mostly?!

Well you never can be certain in here

Pigpen - I have no idea how you do it! That is about the equivalent of all 3 of our wardrobes put together :rotfl: I'm now having second thoughts of trying to twist OH's arm into having more kids :silenced::silenced:

Update of my list post school run, but pre-homework and tea :rolleyes:

• Washed, dried, put away ALL the dishes except the plate & knife I've used for lunch - washed my lunch stuff and put that away as well
• Cleaned the livingroom window outside
• Washed down paintwork outside including the front door
• Cleaned the brass on the frontdoor
• Wiped bin lid over and wrote number back on in permanent marker...again
• Swept front - mostly ciggy ends into the gutter only for it to be carried away by a sudden heavy downpour - saved me the job of finding the shovel and trying to put it in the bin :j
• Made lunch.

Then my list:

• [strike]Clean floors[/strike]
• [strike]Clear and wipe kitchen surfaces[/strike]
• Clean out your vacuum cleaner
• [strike]Wipe window sills, clean any marks off windows if required[/strike]
• [strike]Vacuum floors and sofas[/strike]
• [strike]Dusting[/strike]
• [strike]Clean window - done the outside, will do the inside when I dust [/strike]
  
• [strike]Wipe light switches and banister[/strike]
• [strike]Vacuum under furniture[/strike]
• Wipe the leaves of your plants

Wednesday, Master Bedroom & Landing

[strike]Vacuum floor in bedroom and on landing[/strike]

Level 2

[strike]Clean window & wipe windowsill[/strike]

Level 3

[strike]Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs
Wipe doors and handles[/strike]

I've also done DD's room and hoovered the bathroom so thats basically me for the week :j If there is a reasonably dry day I might get outside and see to the jungle which is our small flowerbeds :eek: Otherwise I'll spend tomorrow ebaying (again) and then Friday can be a website day :rolleyes: :wave:

What are these magic sweets? I've been eating flapjack and hobnobs ALL morning and I don't have an ounce (of energy: I have probably contributed several ounces of lard to my already ample derriere)!

Nothing special, just chews like fruitella, refreshers, drumstick lollies - great for a quick burst of energy, not so good for the hips :o Especially in the quantity I had them in this morning :o *kicks self hard*

Off to do homework :rolleyes: At least it isn't Mr Men books, this time it's "Disney's Beauty & The Beast" :doh: :wave:

I have filled a binbag of rubbish from the middle room.. a 27 fling (filled another carrier) I the back room AND!!!! I emptied the bunnies poo tray which was stinking to high heaven.. Fuzzy-bun needs another trim as he is getting knotty again.. sigh.. that means I spend 3 days covered in sneeze igniting fuzzy-fur.

I am now going to fill a binbag with toys!!!! ANARCHY!!!!! lol

ooooh.... I LOVE flinging!!!

I kind of tied my snapped line together in a floppy kind of girly manner so I could dry my bed sheets so life isn't all bad...

Binbag dance here I come!!

Good luck chivas.

Today is the 1st day i haven't found any since 1st discovering them a week ago. :j

Charlie being an imp still, the only thing he wants to do is stand up, so he has been trying to pull himself up on me. I've resorted to sticking on his baby sign language CD as it will guarantee he will sit still for 30 minutes if i am lucky. :rotfl: So what have i done, made myself a hot chocolate and i'm sitting on my bum cos i am still feeling lethargic. Another one who is feeling out of sorts.

Have to be fit for tomorrow though as i'm taking charlie on a trip with my sisters and their boys. Apparently tomorrow may be the only nice day this week so that was a bit of luck.:D
