    mine are a bit too little to wash up but the rest that managed :)

    I hope we are all having a good day, I am going to put the kids to bed and start to iron only a few bits but best to do them now before they pile up.

    I'm ill.. I'm sure...

    Middle room is cleared of toys and vacuumed!

    Back room has been transformed from a shed to a messy room!! It does still have half a dozen plant pots in it sure BUT.. there is carpet and the clothes are put away and the floor vacuumed and a couple of large boxes gone .. loads more to sort through but it is a MASSIVE MASSIVE improvement.. even OH said so. He is about as observant as a stick!

    I have.. put some shoes in the bin.. none were mine true, but they are gone forever!!

    Hallway and stairs have also been vacuumed.. I have decided I have to sort a few boxes/bits in the hallway tomorrow and the pine bookcase can go next to the shoe rack for more shoes. It may be temporary but it is effective for the time being until I get my head sorted.

    1 load of washing done.
    DW on twice

    Lasagne cooked and snaffled and there is a full one I am considering freezing for one day next week.. but I hate defrosted pasta.. we shall see..

    Crap on fire place in here needs sorting too.. I have taken a few excess candle holders to put in the cs bag which is a start.

    Tardy slip again for me......LW I think your GUAG is running free somewhere with my GUAG.


    DD3 has probably done quite a lot on this list the last few days as this new med hasn't got me on an even keel yet, so easier to say what I have done today.


    DS taken to Dr for bad earache that has had him up every night since Thursday. Put his scrip in for ear meds and back to collect as it wasn't readily available. Quick visit to Mr T to get DS favourite Lemon and Lime Marmalade, nursery run, returned library books, visit to Mr I to get some ready-ish type meals in ready for the return of DD1 and DD2 at the weekend, nursery run again, lunch, tea and that is about me lot.


    DD3 put all the frozen food away and made numerous cups of tea so very pleased.


    Right time to declutter some more tea catch up on FB and think about what upcoming appointments are in the wind as I have got myself in a bit of a tangle
    The cold never bothered me anyway
