    I have still got nogginache.. it's driving me mad.. so much for believing it to be hormone related :/ I may just chop my head off :p


    Off to fling more in the dryer to air off. Airer stuffed full of fleeces and fluffies to air those, they should be dry by morning :)


    Cuppa and bed for me I think.

    Hi all

    Need to get myself organised next week. The house is filthy. I am just finding it hard juggling work/kids/housework at the moment. I havent been mealplanning either then I get really stressed because I dont know what we are having for tea.

    So Monday will be a new start for me! We have been out tonight so bedtime soon with my book.

    Oh and some paperwork to do for OH tomorrow too.

    Hi All,

    My week has gone to pot, had the lurgy and today is the first day I have woken up feeling energised.

    On the good news front, had a very large bonus from work so have booked a week in Egypt in May with our friends.

    Been up since 06.45, DH is away for the weekend on a stag do so have already blitzed the kitchen, just the floor to mop but will do that later.

    Lounge next, it currently looks like it has been snowed on, kapok everywhere from Mad Dog's toy. Should take me about 20 minutes to get it looking good, 40 to get it looking near immaculate.

    Our bedroom, sort the floordrobe, change bed, dust and hoover.

    Ensuite, do as I shower

    Main bathroom, should be a quick job

    WM x many, 4th load just going in
    HHI x many


    Empty all bins and put out for Monday
    De-poop the garden and possibly have some time out there

    Return bedding to The Range, it has frayed after two uses. But do I wash it before I take it back, or will that make it worse. Will they even take it back as I don't have the packaging or the receipt, perhaps a phone call first. Dilemma, dilemma :(

    Market for fruit and veg

    Off now, will report back later and read back on everyone's news

    Have a good day all

    Morning all. Having a great weekend, meal out today and DH has redeemed himself after last weekend. He noticed I was 'off' and has spent the week showering me with flowers, presents and attention.

    Just the dailies being done here again today. Must redo my nails before going out, keep chipping them.

    Have a great day everyone.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Morning all

    Better progress so far:
    Wm1 on line
    Wm2 in progress
    Bathroom cleaning finished
    Shower room cleaning started

    i'm going to put the masking tape on the front door next and attempt to undercoat it, this is not my forte but OH is having another day off and is off running a half marathon so muggins here is left to do everything yet again. At least no cricket for me to do today, DS1's girlfriend coming up though.

    (((Hugs))), Dusty. It's not like you to sound like that.


    Sunny here. Thick towelling dressing gown is on the line drying, ready to be put away for the summer. Yay!
    Better is good enough.

    3 loads of washing on the line - and the grey sky I woke up to has cleared - we have blue sky and sunshine - WOOT

    Yesterday I cleaned out the bunny, cleaned the litter trays and the kitchen and bathroom. Today I want to do the bedroom, LR and DR and prep for the week.

    We break up on Friday WOOTY WOOTY WOOT WOOT but I'm on a course on Wednesday - about healthy relationships (and sex). I MUST MUST MUST not say anything 'inappropriate'. Boss thinks I will have failed in this by 9:20 am. Course starts at 9:30. :rotfl: Seriously I think it will be hard work, and unpleasant, because of the content. Sense of humour rein-in imminent.
