    Right.. last check in before beddy-byes..

    I have remade the bed... then I laid on it and played cards on my phone and chatted to my mother on it at the same time.. :D

    I found a bit of floor in my room!!!! It was under 3 boxes (now in the bin) and a bag of clothes (now sorted and flung/put away/recycled) I can vacuum it tomorrow!!

    I'll see how I feel in the morning but given that I can cross half the list off already I may once again be onto a winner.

    Must sort ebay gibble though!

    The dreaded desk clearout :( after finishing exams and coursework it's got to be done. Doing my dissertation now and I'm not convinced there is a desk under all the clutter.

    Just started using this thread to get myself domesticated, wish I'd looked at Thursdays list tomorrow rather than tonight as I'll be awake dreading having to do it!

    But I'll feel amazing when its done... won't I??

    *peeps head round door, hears snoring :p *

    Evening or perhaps I should say morning!

    Had a great time out with the girls tonight. Before I went I managed to find the hall floor and DS's floor! Was not looking forward to sorting DS's room (it's only half done now so Dad didn't have to climb over loads of stuff to put him to bed!) but it didn't take long at all.

    Stubbed a toe while I was getting ready to go out and it is still aching now :( Given it a right old clonk, it's gone a lovely shade of purple.

    Oh well, w**k for the next couple of days, we have decided to have strawberries and cream on Friday afternoon :D

    Will catch up with you all tomorrow night.

    Morning all,
    Lovely sunny windy day here so WM on and hopefully pegged out before I leave for work in an hour. And I'm on a half day so I've written my hit list of extras. I'll post my list (including yesterday's jobs left over and today's list stuff) later and hopefully get to enjoy your lovely company for a bit too!

  • Morning all. Its nice to see other peoples ironing piles, it makes me feel not so bad about mine, although i did mine Tuesday but it was 3 weeks worth and was awful. Yesterday i cracked on with the bathroom, so today i am on with master bedroom.

    Got to pop into town at some point today to buy a birthday present for a little girl. DS2 has a party to go to after school, not sure what to get:confused:. only have boys myself. I'll probably end up getting bobbles or something like that.:o

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all :hello: Chaotic morning here as I overslept again even though I went to bed at 10.15 as everytime I just dropped off to sleep someone outside made a loud noise and then OH buzzed at 11 to ask me when parents evening was so he could put it on his work calender :mad:

    Had a bit of excitement here last night - 3 policecars (including a dog one) and at least 4 policemen here as someone tried to break into the house next door (It's worse than what you would see on "How Clean is Your House?" and the police even asked had the bloke who lives there ever been served by the council about the state of the place and whether he has a social worker. I feel really sorry for him). Again they didn't have a key to the Alleygate (:mad: ) so I let them through the house, I was shaking like mad cause I saw the little "barstools" who were trying to break in! Unfortunately they were all old enough to be my dad, except one - who I recognised as being younger than me as we both went to the same secondary school :rotfl::rotfl: Didn't catch them though as they heard the police coming :rolleyes: Only need the ambulance service to come through now and we'd have been a great assest to the emergency services around here - for that matter I've even let Council employees/inspectors through and yet they still want me to pay £5 for a alleygate key! :mad::mad:

    Anyway my list for today :
    • Dailies
    • Post FIL's birthday cards (forgot yesterday :o )
    • Update Money
    • Credit card juggle on excel - just to see if its possible for us to move money to OH's Egg card he's just had an offer through for (if that makes sense?), will probably end up involving Money as well
    • Ebay listings
    • Clean out your vacuum cleaner
    • Wipe the leaves of your plants
    Right, off to dry my hair and kick DD's bottom into gear :wave:
