    I really need to stop chatting and put the washing out don't I :o:rotfl::rotfl:

    I doubt much else will get done, I'm catching up on the good old days at uni and onwards with someone who I haven't seen in 9 years so I guess it will be chicken and salad for tea :rolleyes::rotfl::rotfl:

    :j Over the moon with the shelves, they are in the huge pantry in the hall but means the clutter can leave the kitchen permenantly. I've got all sorts stacked on the floor under the bench which I hate just because of lack of space. Oh and I can see how bad my overstocking on tins etc is now :o moved over 80 tins today back and forwards. Actually might make my overstocking worse now I have the space but also might help save ££. Vax is going under the lowest shelf which is quite high so that will be out of the way.

    PC room done, will do bathroom when I bath the boys, actually must remember to put water heater on as everything running late today :o Need to get the Dyson done as a priority! I can't have an engineer seeing it that icky. DP having a very quiet night at work so he'll probably be home before midnight. Oh just remembered have DS1s bed to remake, forgot about that.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    It's not so much the facebook, it's the chatting to them via MSN instead thats addictive :rotfl::rotfl:

    I haven't started the bathroom or study/family room!

    Have finished master from yesterday and DS3 room including sorting through all his books and replacing with some different ones from the loft.

    OH is getting on really well with the garage so I have been helping with the sorting in there (supervising and offering inspiration!). I had a great idea to store the footballs which are all over the floor. Got one of those canvas things which are meant to hang in your wardrobe with jumbers in the balls fit in it great - less than £5 in Argos.

    Going to run the bath and put DS3 in and clean the bathroom whilst he is in there. Need to make DS1 and 2's bed's which I have stripped to make tomorrow easier - will do their rooms and the landing tomorrow and leave the study/family room which is a tip again until the weekend.

    hello all

    just checking in to say hi. currently in birmingham. we're just about to hit ikea again, bot massively looking forward to it, but sure it will be fine!

    michelle, extra big hugs to you babe.

    i'm feeling a bit rubbish at the moment - not 100% well, very tired (prob not going to bed early enough ever!), run down, bit of a sore throat and have had an upset tummy for a couple of days :( oh dear, i do sound sorry for myself! doesn't help that friend i'm staying with smokes everytime we go anywhere in the car. oh well, no doubt i'll be fine, hopefully, as camping from two weeks from monday.

    anyway, hope all are well, 7ww you made my day :)

    Dusty if you need another one of those things that you use for jumpers etc for the footballs try £1 shops, they had them in when I was there the other day. http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/90096786 they can be good for balls aswell, I have bought a few for soft toys for the boys rooms.

    Been browsing Ikea as I want some new storage boxes for the new shelves etc and seen these, wall hanging, how cool! http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60107828 :rotfl:http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/40081476 like that too. I should keep off the site, I will end up spending a fortune next time we go :o
