Piggers, 2 hours to walk round B & Q, just how big is it???
Too big.. OH wanted plants, I needed a drill and a sander and some nail things to clip my internet cable to the wall after Dot ragged it off. We needed a couple of planters which we didn't get as they were extortionate. Squeak needed 3 wees and a poo and Dot need 2 wees.. We then had to find someone with a mop after Dot flooded the loo.. she turned the tap on and the pressure of the water made it bounce straight onto her and the floor.. she was dripping. I got a bolt for the back gate too..
Nursery tomorrow so baths and bed for these small pinks I think.. Moomin looks like she hasn't slept in 6 months she is grey.
Dw now on, grass minced, cable tacked down.. see OH does move sometimes!

Hotpoint man rang the company whilst he was here to report. They are going to replace the machine
and he told me to try and get something from them towards cleaning. He said he could smell it as soon as I opened the door.

The only two things I haven't done from today's list are the HHI because I just don't wear those kind of clothes any more and the plants, because they're OH's responsibility. One box also sorted.
I've done a few other extras that needed to be done and the house looks a lot better already.Better is good enough.0 -

I'd like to keep going but I've run out of jobs
Have done 6 hrs paid stuff, walked the dog, washed and dried 2 loads of washing, made tea, washed down the worktops and cupboard fronts, hoovered and washed the kitchen floor, done OHs month end bills and done a mealplan and an online order for Mr T.
Tired and grumpy. Off to drag youngest off the Xbox and throw him into bed.
Tomorrow is another day eh flyladies?0 -
Where has today gone? Been a bit full on with paid stuff then sorting littlies. DS is playing up so he's drawn himself a chart - "mum how do I write stop flinging my arms around at the table?" :rotfl: after chocolate milkshake mess the other week, he tonight managed to get ketchup everywhere, both from acting about at the dinner table. Once he was in bed he told me he feels cross but doesn't know why. I said sometimes it takes me a day or two to work out why I'm cross, so he can have a think about it and tell me tomorrow. Bless him - little s0d. So hard to help them manage their feelings, isn't it?
Anyway, kitchen sorted, my brekkie and lunch done for tomorrow (early start) and kids stuff all sorted for MIL to get them off to school. I've even plaited DD hair! (hopefully it will stay in) as granny can't plait curly hair.
Just need to dry my own hair then it's bedtime.
I know there's a couple more challenges to add, I'll do those tomorrow X
Good news about the new DW, kaz!Bossymoo
Away with the fairies :beer:0 -

Evening all
Such a long and busy day, flying achieved - ziltch - oh no I did put at least 5 things away. I still need to fold half the washing from the line.
Fizz - 6 cherries each really made me giggle
LW I always leave WU to drain - more hygienic than wiping with a cloth IMHO
I'll do the list, wash up, set the teasmaid, have a drink and then probably head up to bed, said I'd drive the boys in tomorrow as DS3 needs his cricket bag and DS2 has 2 exams and no bus ticket as he is nolonger in lessons - this means another early start, want to go straight from school to Mr L so I need to do my shopping list too as I have paid stuff in the afternoon and then need to pick the boys up from school.The birds of sadness may fly overhead but don't let them nest in your hair0 -
Lamewolf - I HATE drying up with a vengeance. So much so that if I'm at any sort of a 'do' where kitchen support is required I practically INSIST on washing up and persuade otheres to dry.
I leave it to drain!
