Went to bed with tummy ache last night. It's still there a little bit. I feel uncomfortably full!
After all my hard work yesterday, the lounge is a tip. 2 loads of washing still dumped on floor as apparently I am the only person in the house who can actually see it. Dust has settled all over the shiny black tv.
The kitchen is a disaster (although it's halfway to rights as I've emptied DW already and will stack when I go back in.
The weather is lovely again so I will definitely get back out into the garden at some point today. Hopefully I have enough washing for a full load of something which can be hung out on the line. Ooh, I need more pegs too.
So, I can hear DH stumbling around upstairs. I will collar him on his way out of the door to help me fold up the bedding as it's too big to try and manhandle myself.
Laters peeps xx
He declined.
DD will be very unhappy when she returns from school as I have put everything from her bedroom floor onto her bed again. I figure that there is so much less than yesterday that something may have sunk in! Maybe I'll only have to keep doing it for another few weeks with the occasional reminder after that (Pahahahaha!).
Hmm, DH then decided he would help fold the sheets.

Morning all.
Delay in starting the paid stuff today, my phone needs charging and I need a bath so I thought I'd update my list while I finish my coffee.
DD came home yesterday and told me she'd had an accident in school. Apparently she went to catch the rounders ball during PE, and it bounced out of her cupped hands and hit her right in the eye. After the initial pain she said she's had no problems with it. She seems fine, but the eyeball is lovely and bloodshot in one patch this morning. Thing is I have a subconjunctival hemorrhage (aka bloody eye) but much worse in the same eye myself ATM so we look a right pair!She said on the plus side she managed to get 3 people out so it mustn't have been that bad :rotfl: This is a child who is in set 1 for everything except PE which she's always been hopeless at, but has suddenly found her athletic side and appears to be making lots of progress
I've decided to take the quilt off my bed, woke up boiling this morning again. So I'll do that and change the bedding again.I think DD's bed could do with changing as well so I might do that while I'm home later. I need to put dry washing away, wash up and should really do some ironing. Hoping to get my window finished today. The heat of the glass means the paint should dry quite quickly which is a bonus
If its gone it's done or not applicable.

I am only just back to flying, (have been fluttering in the bottom of the cage, like a bird with a broken wing) but the list isn't looking too bad. DD helped and I did the bathroom and loo yesterday, and LR was done before home group arrived so it is the Master bedroom today. If it's gone it's done or I have no intention of doing it this week.
Off to friends for coffee this afternoon and have paid stuff to do now, so toodlepip, happy flying everyone.Proud to have dealt with our debt. DFW Nerd 1474

Morning ladies (and gents?)
I'm slowly working through the lists, still loads to doI have an hour before I'm to leave to meet my friend for brunch, then I have my dehairing appointments. I was delayed by a surprise chat with Mr O&O which was nice
The windows cleaner has been so definitely have to do the inside of the windows I've missed when I get home. He's agreed to take on my mums windows as well as her cleaner was rubbish. My parents have a fair size bungalow with huge windows so it should be a fairly easy job for him.
WM on with a load of towels etc, DW has just finished but can wait to be unloaded.
I'm off to finish the bathroom though it's not that bad. I wish my girls would use up the products they've got before buying more, I'm running out of room.0 -
Right. I'm going up to clean the bathroom. If I haven't reported back by midday, someone come looking for me! I may have died at the back of the cupboard.
Now as you (meany!) have put on the list to empty out the cupboard Natty, I might inventory it whilst I'm in there. I'm not on the no more buying toiletries thread any more but I think DH and DD ought to be! They both keep buying conditioner too. I'm sure it's because they don't read labels. Right. Inside jobs first while it warms up the garden for me
ETA: Phew- loads done! Bathroom scrubbed top to toe. Coffee break time now and then I shall head back upstairs to do the cupboards. It certainly looks and smells much fresher in there now! I even figured out that I can get the strips off the shower door so I took them off and bleached them thoroughlyDebt: 16/04/2007:TOTAL DEBT [strike]£92727.75[/strike] £49395.47:eek: :eek: :eek: £43332.28 repaid 100.77% of £43000 target.MFiT T2: Debt [STRIKE]£52856.59[/STRIKE] £6316.14 £46540.45 repaid 101.17% of £46000 target.2013 Target: completely clear my [STRIKE]£6316.14[/STRIKE] £0 mortgage debt. £6316.14 100% repaid.0 -

Just had to go and pick up DS from school. He was as white as a sheet when I got there. He's been home an hour now and had lunch. Feels much better and is happy to go back for the afternoon so I will ring them shortly and see if I can take him back in.
I've had my lunch too (boy was I ready for it!) and am now going back upstairs to start emptying out the cupboards of doom bathroom cabinets.
This should be interesting!
Decided against sending him back in for the afternoon, he has 100% attendance and is still a bit pale so I think he should just chill out on the sofa.
Cupboard done.

Did he maybe just have low blood sugar Kaz?? Maybe a break time snack is in order especially if he is having a growth spurt or doing sports or busy activity.

Kaz, if your beauty stash needs reducing, you could join in the "no buying unnecessary toiletries" thread over here on the beauty board. They are a lovely, lovely bunch of ladies and with their help I have managed to knock my constant purchasing on the head (more or less
)
Hope your DS is back to 100% v. soon xx
Big stint at the paid stuff all done, had a lovely chat about the D-Day landings and the war with my favourite customer, she's 92 next week and I am in constant awe of how wonderful she is. I call her my adopted grandma
I've tidied the kitchen and vacced all the HTAs. Just having a brew and a ciggie and then I'll get the bathroom done before I collect DS2.0
