I'm pooped! DD accused me of child abuse earlier because I wouldn't let her go to the shop until her bedroom was tidy. That miss is a madam- grrr .
I've painted the back wall but not cut the grass.
DH is out so I'll have to make the bed by myself . Hate this job!
I have 30 minutes til I have to collect the beastlets so will finish my coffee and go up to do the bed. I have washed all of our pillows today so they're nice and fresh .
All downstairs windows cleaned

*coping vibes* winging their way for you Pigpen. Am right in thinking vodka is a coping strategy in emergency circumstances?

in a 'I haven't drank any in 3.5 years' way.. yes

No need to apologise, pigpen - it's fun to see your girls growing up!
Your minibeast hunt sounds fun, Valli.
Well done on the sewing, HB

Christian Aid collection finished and I met some very nice neighbours
WMx3 done, 2 loads dry, towels were hung out late and will be left out overnight, another load in WM now to hang out early tomorrow morning.
Must mow the lawn tomorrow afternoon... I fell asleep after lunch and ran out of time today

Aww lovely pics pigpen.

Well it seems natty did know something I didn't - we've had a glorious week for weather and the next two days is supposed to lovely too! DD could really do with a couple of smarter tshirts. She has dressy holiday stuff, and stuff for playing out, but such as today when we were put and about, I struggled to find her something tidy that she wouldn't be too hot in

Anyway, we bought sleeping bags for our camping trip at half term :T the kids love them and have taken them to granny's for a sleepover to test them we just need to organise the catering now. I've said I want to take snack / picnic stuff for my two as they won't he happy waiting till 8pm for the BBQ to be fired up.

Tomorrow morning I've a bit of shopping to get then I'm going into the garage.

My eBay buyer has asked if they can collect on Wednesday. They have not acknowledged the refund. Rather odd. I've said Wednesday is fine, but not sent my address yet, and asked if the refund arrived ok. No response as yet.

Councillor has set up a meeting for us with the geotech man. On Friday at 9am. Not ideal. Not only will I be dropping DS at school at 8.55 but there's no-one who can have DD at that time for me. I might suggest we move it to my house instead of the town hall, that might work. Under the pretence of showing them the boundaries...

To bed now, I think!

Beautiful, Pigpen. Also, love Awesome Valli.

Bossy.. Squeak was the same.. she ended up with those grey joggers on because she has no shorts! She was boiling in them .. so on the way to OH's mother we popped in to supermarket for sarnies and I bought her a few new bits. She was so funny she was a right diva picking clothes out.. and of course ended up with way more than I intended, but she was so cute.. Mummy! I LOVE this dress, it is so beautiful!! .. I did draw the line and more dressing up stuff.. would you believe there wasn't 1 plain white tshirt in the shop!!

I was very naughty and bought myself a pair of bright pink tie dye trousers.. they look cool and slobby ... perfect!!

These 3 naughties haven't long since gone to bed so I am heading up myself, you can bet they will be demanding breakfast and juice at 5am!!

Morning!

Just woke up - why can't I sleep in when they aren't here? Bah.

Ah well. I can be lazy for a while, though...

pigpen DD is a monkey with clothes - but I find I can easily use it to my advantage - if the tantrums begin I tell her she has to wear trousers :rotfl: and the threat of putting her "Elsa dress" away is enough to silence her
Think I'll go have some brekki and a cuppa in peace. Maybe bring it back to bed...

ETA wm fed also, hoping to get marks out of DS school tops...

Morning all

Sorry for my absence during the week. Even though it's quieter I still seem to have lots to do each evening and never get much house stuff done. The dogs woke me up (I'm sure they are as bad as children) as they wanted to play in the garden. So I'm going to use this next few hours to get the house tidied and clean.

List for today:

Clean kitchen work tops and wipe down cupboards
Empty bin
Empty recycling
Clean sink and loo
Wash hoodies (already on second load)
Wash whites
Wash darks
Clean garden
Weed front garden
Hoover lounge
Sweep kitchen and conservatory area
Walk dogs
Go to Exercise class

Love the pictures of your girls pigpen, they look so adorable

Morning all

Hugs, spoons, vibes and kicks where needed

I had a lovely quiet evening in front of the TV once DD left. It was nice to watch some 'joint' programmes without DD gabbing over them :rotfl: Today I need to go and put an book through for a friend and then I'm going on to cut through to Mr Al. I know its going to be busy, and I'm not looking forward to it, but I need to pick up a couple of bits and I'll be half way there I won't be going to Mr A though as that gets even busier and always seems to have less polite people who shove you around so I avoid it as much as I can at weekends.

When I get back I'm going to do laundry, I need to wash DD's pillow, and I think I'll wash her cuddly toys she sleeps with while I'm at it and she's away. Then dig her quilt out the cupboard and wash that before vacuum packing it. She only has a quilt cover & sheet over her now as her room gets so warm as she insists on having the dehumidifier on all night.

I should really go and get dressed and get the sun cream smothered on again.

If its gone its done or doesn't apply.
