Vacd and mopped all of downstairs, pstairs tidied. Been to kids violin lesson at school with them. Wm and td on.

I made my Christmas cake yesterday! Have done a large square one which I will quarter and decorate as 4 cakes and a mediUm sized round one. The mixture was delish, ate a bit too much of it though :cool: :laugh:

Going to do some paid/vol paperwork now and drum roll please....... Oct challenge update, I have finished ds hoody and he loves it :T:T:T:j:j. I cast on a hat with the leftovers for dd2 last night, she's going to love to be matching her beloved jojo.

I've vacced and dusted everywhere had lunch, cleaned 3 toilets, picked up tat in DD room and WM x 3 hung to dry. Could do with vaccing the car but rather damp outside. Also need to identify the iffy niffy item that's makes its presence known when I open the fridge.

But first I might photograph the spare toys for selling.

Part of me wants to have a nap because I haven't slept too well, but then I won't sleep well tonight either. Decisions decisions. Speaking of which, don't know what's for tea. Kiddies at after school club so they will have had snack...

Bossy, I think many people rely on others to such an extent that they never realise what they are actually capable of doing by themselves. And equally, many people who cope by themselves don't realise that they sometimes need to let go and let others do things with and for them. You succeed admirably in the first and I love the way you allow your family and friends to support you in the second x

bossymoo - Maybe skip the nap but have an early night? Not sure on your personal oh situation but mine is bloody useless. I can cope without him but I just don't want to. In fact the house stays tidy with him away. I just hate doing all the bath time routine by myself. Conversation with 3 under 5's also isn't the most riveting. I do love star-fishing in the bed though!


Glad bin is found kazwookie.


Essay finally done for a last minute check before sending. I'm doing this tonight with mum over a Indian t/a.


Also just had a house inspection (we rent) and the EA said it was the best house he had seen so thank you for the lists. Cant remember if I told you how appointment went but am on antibiotics for an infection by the wisdom tooth (luckily not the actual tooth) and a dreaded root canal is due on a different tooth. Booked in to do before Christmas.


Hope everyone is good, awful coughs in our household. Have to keep an eye for any that turn nasty.


Hope you are ok katiecat, keep busy but try not to wear yourself out.


Quick HHC before school run. Its ballet today which I hate, but DD loves. It does mean quick tea for them though which is always nice as its minimal clear up.


Better fly xx

Right

My missing suitcase is now found, it seems it is on holiday already with out me on the other side of the world!!
So I am going to ask around locally and see if anyone has one I can borrow, or go and buy a cheapie.

Ironing is now about to commence.

I appear to have sold a wooden farm and little dolls house :T

Offending fridge item identified and removed. Recycling put in green bin, it needs putting out tonight.

Floors mopped.

englishrose thanks hun, my DH died 3 years ago on Thursday. So I'm feeling a bit pants this week and a little bit sensitive, one of the mums is "a friend" and knows its the anniversary this week. It's a shame she doesn't know that we don't all have the perfect nuclear family
