    DS2 whos almost 14 still has a menagerie of cuddlies (they sometimes get stashed in the bottom of his wardrobe if he knows friends are coming round) but they all end up in his bed. He also ends up with slothes books and mags etc IN his bed with him They take up more room than him

    Nice - I love it when I can do that (not very often nowadays!). Bet you feel better for it.



    Sorry, very intermittent on here - when did you move in? It is nice sitting up to the table and having a meal together as a family.


    Hi, We started moving at the start of March, still in the process but getting their slowly. Getting the kitchen sorted was a big goal so that we could have family meal times.

    Anyways I have infected tonsils now joy! I would like them to remove them but I have only haven't had it often enough in the last year.
    I am keeping on top of the washing and that's it for now.

    I hope we all have a good day :)

    I used to get awful tonshellitis for years. I 'grew' out of it, lots of adults do (but sadly ot until about 35 :eek:) Hope you feel better soon.

    YL hugs for you both

    Dancemum - DS3 was on the bus for 2.5 hours yesterday due to a RTC, fortunately the bus was not involved.

    Just having a short lunch break, came home to turn the aga back up after it's service. Need to head back now but will be home by 3:30 I hope.

    I ironed 3 things and put the DW on this morning.

    Afternoon all. Not getting anywhere here this week. AF arrived leaving me feeling completely drained and down. DH isn't sleeping well so I daren't make any noise either. I was going to make a start the other day when the postman knocked with a parcel for next door, waking DH so we went for a walk with the pup instead. Floors have been swept and cupboard doors wiped (had to do them after a muddy pup decided to shake). I've made a start on the pile of washing.


    Vanilla-I now make all DC strip their own beds as otherwise I spent 10 minutes removing a pile of teddies/toys from each bed. DD last night had a pile of metal toy cars under her pillow, they couldn't have been comfy.

    It has definitely helped being back on this site, the house is much tidier, we have no ironing and some areas that were in desperate need of sorting have been done. Hope to do a couple of HH challenges in the living room and airing cupboard later plus one tomorrow and that will do for this week. It should make everything easier when I am back from my work trip in 3 weeks.

    Thankyou HB, I did take ibuprofen this morning and it's gone down a little, I can just about close my mouth now, although my jaw is killing me and swallowing is very sore. Dinner will be fun! :o

    I can't imagine how minging bubble mixture must taste. Here's hoping a nice muffin takes the bad taste away for your DD, bossy;)

    Can I vacuum the whole flat in 15 minutes? Let's find out…
