Where are you all???

I've been up a while .. Fending off a random panic attack at 4am .. Not sure what was going on but it took a good hour or so to sort my head out. I knew it was being silly it just took some convincing... I only usually get them when pregnant but I'm not so it's a bit out of character.. Hopefully I was/am just tired!!

Pixie finally went down at 1am and just finished feeding but I am awake now... May go grab a cuppa while everyone else sleeps.. Dot included!!!

DD1 is still sicking daily/nightly but feeling better since having several bags of fluid pumped in .. She likes hospital drugs so she may be back

Very late to the party I've got a free day today so going to blitz some of the jobs on here to give me a boost ready to join in for the new week

Have spent a long time decluttering my house and buying bits and pieces to make it more organised I'm definitely seeing results now as I can make it look tidy very quickly. It's the cleaning I struggle with and the house is suffering for it, ruined wallpaper and dirty skirting etc.

Look forward to joining

Come on in, Lemonbee!

Lovely shawl and grandkids 1-2-3-4, Pigpen. I was up at 5.30,making a cuppa. Decided to sort my knitting needles and managed to locate some long-lost ones (I now know that I have a full set of everything I am ever likely to need), then I sewed up a cardigan and bootees that I knitted months ago, not for any particular baby but because I had wool left over.

Valli, I went away to Germany for the week in which my exH remarried. I too left my kids to decide what (if anything) to buy him and his new Mrs. Not a fun time - (((hugs))) for you.

Migraine is still coming and going, therefore probably caused by tension and tiredness. I will see what I can achieve today without falling asleep.

Morning!

I've been in the kitchen :cool: third wash on, all the pots sorted, counters all wiped down (even moved the microwave, which I cleaned a couple of days ago :A) and sink shined. There was tat everywhere but most was DDs so given to her, in effect it's just moved to the living room

But the kitchen is spotless! (If you don't look at the floor!)

I also made my bed and emptied my room of kids gibble. I'm quite tidy really, but their stuff spreads into "my space". Spare room is good, for granny to occupy tomorrow, so just kids rooms to tidy round later.

DS has taken over the whole conservatory with trains, cars and lego. There is not an inch of rug left to stand on :rollseyes: but he will sort it out - he wants to play out on bikes after his "emergency" (Lego man fell off the train bridge and landed on the track :eek: :rotfl:) so he will put them away first. Lol.

Quiet day today and very early night for two littlies. I have ironing to do. Yuck!

Lovely pics, pigpen glad DD is feeling a bit better x

Afternoon all.
After reading my post from yesterday... sorry for any spelling mistakes, changed words etc. My phone isn't the best for posting on.
Was woken at half 6 this morning by my 5yo. Ive stripped all 6 beds. Remade 5 and ours is washed and on the line as we only have 1 set. Boys is now in the machine and the load from last night is dry and folded.
boys room has been cleaned, tidied and hoovered and I've gone through all their games to make sure they are in the boxes.
cleaned up ds who is still being sick and then emptied and started to reload dishwasher.
Only a few weeks till we go away, would really like to get the house tidy ready for mil sorting the pets.

just out of curiosity, how many bedding sets do you have? We only have the 1 but I've found 20 sets so far between the kids and that ddoesn't include the ones I put in the charity bag the other day or the pile of thomas/bob ones I gave my sister.

pigpen

I have 1 duvet cover and 2 sets of sheets for my bed and 2 sets for each of the children. I have about 1000 cotbed sheets as 3 in that size bed and 2 toilet training!

I've knitted 1.5 legs for Dots shorts.. and put Pixie to bed.. must do girly lunch, the older 3 can fend for themselves and I have a lump of pig to chuck in the SC...

I'll do that now before I pick up my knitting again!

There's only the two of us here, so we only have one double bed to deal with; we have three complete sets of bedding - under-sheet, duvet cover and 4 pillowcases (we use 2 pillows each). Changed every Saturday and put to wash overnight if I've no dogs staying, so it's one on, one in the wash, and one spare in case I'm too poorly to deal with the washing.:o

We did manage fine with just 2 sets, but I fell in love with a batik duvet cover & pillowcases we saw when we visited the Isle of Skye in 2007, so we've had 3 sets ever since.;)

Hi all,

Still on with sorting yankee candles out - I have about 300 melts and 300 votives so far eeek

LameWolf

OMG Carly! That'd even keep me going for ages, and I go through candles like nobody's business!:D

Weekend tasks almost finished - Mr LW is doing the last of them as I type - cleaning the bath-lift.:A

Then it's back to the Bee and Screw-it website to look at kitchen fittings.....:eek: We shall use the pc for that, so I'm shutting the netbook down now, and will see you all on next week's thread.:o
