    Hi flyfriends x

    Well done piggers on all those ebeast sales, go girl!

    I've just made some chocolate top hats for DD as a wee treat. Other than that I've slept, what a lazy individual I am.

    Paid stuff later so I better get something done in here before I go!

    Morning! I mean afternoon!

    First opportunity I've had to get on today!

    Job wise not done a lot apart from cleaning he kitchen, loading dw, and wudupa!

    I have taken ds2 swimming, had a weigh in (2lb loss :T), took a top back, took some glasses to the opticians to be recycled and then mum came round and we did two hours of packing. Just having a cuppa and then will have an hour on the lists!

    Write birthday cards for the weekend.
    Sort out pressies for June birthdays!

    Thrilling Thursday!! ~ Splendiforous Studies and Stairs!

    Pick up 30 items and put them away..
    Declutter, degrot and destickify the desk or table...
    File away the paperwork and shred what you don't need.
    Sort the shoes and coats and bags in the hallway.. can any go away for the summer, or away forever
    Vacuum all the fluffy floors
    Wipe down the paintwork in these areas.. I get the raw deal here.. I have wooden stairs!

    Fank Goodness it's Friday!! ~ A&E Time! (Anything and Everything)

    Pick up 30 items and put them away..
    S&S the kitchen. let's start the weekend with them sparkling

    Empty a drawer or cupboard or toybox and deal ruthlessly with its contents

    Wipe down any doors in need.. my kitchen door is covered in little grubby hand prints.. and not on the kitchen side!!
    Clean any outstanding windows/mirrors.

    Extras,
    HHI
    Vacuum right through the house and empty the vacuum cleaner
    Clean filters and detergent drawers on big appliances.. they are so gross!

    ...Next.. make another cuppa! Spend a minute in each room admiring your home.. look for one of those irritating niggly jobs that you keep putting off... go and get it done..

    £47 in postage costs!!!!! Insane!!!

    people kept paying while I was parcelling so I ended up with 5 more gone than I first thought. I have emptied a whole binbag!!! :D A few more payments to come in but it is all moving slowly but steadily. I shall separate what didn't sell, relist it and if it doesn't sell next time.. chazzer I goes!


    Off to dangle out laundry while the 2 mini beasts nap.

    Missy.. you might strike it lucky and MIL might do all the cleaning and tidying for you.. then you won't be able to make any mess because you won't know where anything is.. and it is called looking 'lived in' not squalid! :D.

    Oh how I would love that to be the case! Hasn't happened once in 2 years though!! So not holding my breath :)

    Well I managed to hoover and do a few bits before work. Haven't done much else as been stuck at work. Still there now but having a very late lunch break. Tea always tastes so much nicer when you've been waiting ages for a cup!

    Well done on the ebeast stuff pigpen! You're making me feel guilty about my huge mountain of stuff! Think I might have to go through it tonight.

    Roo bought the class bear home with him this weekend! So going to have to think of fun things to do with said bear all weekend and take photos of him!! Actually a little bit excited about it! Sad I know lol

    Hi all x
    Welcome back Poohbear

    Picked DD up from school on the way back from the Drs with OH. He's been having these wee turns the past few days, I ended up losing it with him last night because he won't go to the Dr so he got an emergency appointment today. He needs to go for an ecg on Tuesday and will have a blood pressure monitor fitted within the next fortnight. I'm feeling sick about it all, his wee brother had a heart attack about 6 weeks ago.

    I've got the WM on and I'm going to get ready for work. No point sitting dwelling.

    FFP .. 'just stress' vibes for Mr Princess.. and nothing worth worrying about.. I can see why you and he would be worried though.. the Dr cant have thought it was too serious he's not in hospital now! If that reassures you any?


    3 parcels ready to post 5 more to pay and more finishing over the next few days.

    That's what I'm hoping for he does work far too much it was fine when he was younger but it takes its toll. If the pins and needles he's having (its from his elbow to hand and knee to foot) get worse or start affecting his whole limb we have to dial 999. Just hope that he can SOFA for a couple of days and take it easy. Dr did bloods as he said vitamin deficiency could be a cause but his blood pressure is way too high.
    American buyer might learn to read all the words now!

    Anyhoo dinner cooking away, I'm changed for work, dog is fed will try to nip in later after work if I get a chance x
