    Jazee I saw spy Monday night really enjoyed it, alough I must admit I learnt a new swear word:eek: it was only a 15 I was sitting next to my 20 year old and a friend of his, I was just gratefull he invited a friend instead of taking his 15 year old brother with us. ( he stayed home to play splatoon)

    Not achieved much today, Dh has just rung and said he's had a filling so just wants something light and soft for tea. Omelettes it is then:D

    Have cleaned the bedroom windows and polished the mirrors. Have also updated the calendar and realised how many birthdays we gave this month. Two of them special ones!:eek:

    I have played games with ds1 and made pizzas for tea, followed by a loaf f bread as we have no bread in the hous. Also gave ds1 his own mission. - put away 30 things in your bedroom. It's a start!!

    Updated list...

    An hour of the paid stuff
    Hoover bathroom floors

    Wonderful Wednesday!! ~ BEEEAAAUUUUTILICIOUS master bedroom
    Pick up 30 items and put them away..
    strip and change that bedding that stinky bedding, we don't want you sticking to it.
    Dust radiators and skirtings and any other dusty bits you can see
    Wipe down any units.. mug rings off bedside units, make up dust of the dresser top etc
    Wipe any lamps or light bulbs and remove dust bunnies with Mr Vacuum.

    Extras, if you are a glutton for slaving away over a hot microfibre cloth.!!
    Sort a pile of paperwork
    Clear a hotspot.. I hate these things!

    ...Next.. sit on your bed or a chair in there and admire your beautiful room and that little thing you can now see which needs doing... do it.. then you can have a cuppa and a treat of your choice!! Like a Scooby Snack!!

    Sorry for long inane posts! But feel like I'm losing it today!!!!

    They are just real life and a lot of us have nothing else going on worth talking about.. my day has been a trip to Tesco a trip to solicitor 2 school runs and laundry.. and ranting at the MBNA person dealing with my complaint... I called the doctors and the council and that is my entire day..

    I've dealt with arguments between my 19 and 14 year olds and Squeak is on about a trip to RPSCA! So we had talks about rescues and stuff..

    I should work for the UN Peace Corps.

    RE: Bedroom Wednesday:- Being a well qualified slob..one thing I do find handy re bedding is to fold it all up (i.e. bottom sheet, quilt cover, 3 pillowcases, all packed into the 4th pillowcase. Ergo...every complete bed set is packed into one pillowcase....makes me feel really righteous when i go to change the beds and it's ll there in one neat place.

    Back from the ballet with DD. We were a little early so went a walk along the street. There is a really lovely florist so I treated myself to a standard fuchsia. Left DD at ballet and went to asda. Picked up most of this weeks shop. Dropped off on the way home to pick up a bingo machine and books for charity night on Friday.
    Just fed the minions, rabbit and dog. Now I'm off to knit till I can't hold my eyes open!

    Hi all

    What a day, yeah I am with you Pigpen on the UN Peacekeeper front. Managed to persuade my very anxious 16 yo that he was going to the dentist for a filling.

    Shattered now. Early night. Oh and I relented and picked the clothes up of DSs bedroom floor ... I know, I know, its not teaching him anything is it? But I wanted to get the washing machine on.

    Hey,

    Feeling a little better :)

    Just managed 2.5hours of good revision. Fed babies, put them to bed, flung about 60 things, now outside awaiting pick up, sorted clean washinf into piles, put around 30 bits of washing away, so still on target for the week. So not a completely wasted day. Going to have a drink with OH now, as he's away from tomorrow? Then I'll be off to bed, need to take Bambinos to nursery then to city for exam! Sounds like you've all been flinging and cleaning, well done!
  • Evening all,

    Everyone seems mega busy. Not had a bad day, lots of washing out on line and dried, but only problem is not ironed for ages, and three more loads added to that, so mega ironing mountain created. Argh.
    Also done the kitchen list from Tuesday, levels 1,2,3. Plus dog walk, children to swimming lesson, removed tick from dog (first time ever, yuck!)
    missy don't worry, I find it helps to get all your frustrations in print! If it's any consolation, my two dd's are suffering from back to school tiredness and can't seems to be within six feet of each other without arguing.

    Tomorrow must do at least some ironing, plus sweep all the leaves up that came off the trees on Monday, plus paid stuff.

    Night all x
