Been to the town on the bus and back again. Went to the park and had our picnic. Quick go on swings (too many big kids) and then went over the field and played hide and seek and what time is it Mr Wolf. Had a fun time and and kids enjoyed it. Got 3 packs of flavoured chicken breast for tea, some in oven and it smells yummy.

Just checked the forecast and they now give us rain tomorrow - not a happy bunny!

TIAMIA - I was at the same point with the washing as you last week. I was so determined not to buy another TD (out last one pegged it before last winter) but this time of the year is worse than winter for drying as no heating on. Still a couple of dry days (or a couple of hours where it didnt pee it down) and the washing was caught up with, just the blooming ironing! Wishing you some good drying days hun!

PIGPEN - Way to go girl! You are doing so well - a real inspiration. If only I could be @rsed to ebay the stuff that is cluttering up the garage that I keep saying I must sell that. Maybe this month - lol! Though all the girls HappyLand stuf I am waiting for nearer to xmas for.

Right tea in the oven, just S & S bathroom then thought that was pointless as its bathroom day tomorrow!

Hi everyone,


I'm excusing myself temporarily from flying - I've spent four hours today painting the hall, stairs and landing! Off to visit family tomorrow, then the second coat of painting on Friday. I think redecorating must rate at least a Level 4:D. Did the weekly shopping too, this morning.

I've just spent ages on here trying to catch up - wow, lots and lots of new flybabies! Welcome to all of you. I'm feeling a bit more energetic, now I've had a rest and a cup of tea, so off to cook dinner, and finish drying the master bedroom bedlinen (yes, I did the bed too, but nothing else in there.)

This evening I want to wrap up the presents to take tomorrow - three family birthdays in the last two weeks, and also have bash at the July accounts. I've been really lazy about doing this for months, but I've tried really hard to keep tabs on the money this month, after getting some very good advice from the debt free wannabees on how to keep track of all the switch payments now hardly anywhere takes cheques.

Will try to pop in on Friday - if I leave it too long, it takes ages to read!

I've not achieved much today - again. I did do a S&S in the bathroom, that made me feel good as I did one yday too. I bought some bits and pieces in ASDA for dinner and today's trip to the cinema (Orange Wednesdays - Simpsons Movie, thoroughly recommended with some rather more Parental Guidance bits for those easily offended! But taken with good humour by all our lot at least) we were the last to leave after the credits lol.

I spent most of the morning playing Animal Crossing Wild World, lately I have been into Wifi-ing with people other than my husband, which is fun. Anyone on here have AC:WW?

Tonight's dinner is veggie Chilli, I made a basic Napolitana sauce yesterday with Pasta which I am converting with Kidney beans and chilli powder today and serving with rice and tortilla chips on the side. This is one of my often used shortcuts when we have a busy week.

Level 2
[strike]Remove bed linen and replace with frsh linen
Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs[/strike]
Level 3
Vacuum mattress before replacing with fresh linen
Extra tasks list, as usual choose one or more

Won't be around tomorrow as we are going down to Portsmouth for the day (Mark has a meeting there so we're tagging along) and will be out of the house at 6am :eek: Don't think I'll be doing much tomorrow night other than sitting down and watching tv!

Have a good day tomorrow!

Right shelves emptied but junk still there, there is just nowhere to put it and my partner saying he'll do something, well he sometimes doesn't and I don't want it all over the place for weeks, so have left it for now. DS1 dinners just finished and cooling.

Shell, we've got 2 huge boxes or Happy Street/Tracks and Fisher Price Little People sets, was going to donate them to the charity shop but the one I usually donate to is small so might have to call them first, was looking at giving them to a nursery/play group but was told 'Only take donations of new things not second hand' so there is that idea gone. If I sold them on Ebay I'd have to break it up into individual sets, there must be 8+ sets all cost a fortune and I can't remember what went with each. Might see if they go on Freecycle.

Next mission is to go through the months bills etc, I should have done it last week but keep forgetting.

:j Some sort of good news. If you remember I was moaning about my vacuum cleaner being smelling like burning etc. Well I was looking through an old catalogue which stated they came with 2 year warranty, I knew we'd had it less than that. So I rang them, even though I can't find the receipt they will cover it until THIS month because it was made in August 2005, talk about pushing it! They're sending an engineer out on Friday, if it's a manufacturing fault will be repaired free, so fingers crossed it is, might save me some £££

Just need to clean it out now, get my hair off the brushes

JillD just noticed how big your list is, at 33 weeks that is a lot to try and get done, pleased take it easy!
