    CY- hope you see feeling better soon.
    Dusty- hope your Ds is feeling better soon.

    Well I did crack on and do those doors and frames in the hall way. Just have one more to do as they are quite time consuming. They are needing a lot of elbow grease! Didn't get to move the stuff out of ds2s room either but hey ho had a lively afternoon with the kids at the country park. We did a craft activity and a nature trail and played in two different parks before running some errands on the way home. Then had a lovely dinner and read lots of books before bedtime. It's so nice not to be rushing to get my work done in the evenings!

    Have done a maiden full of ironing and taken the bin out and made a start on my permanent RoD aka the dining room. Emptied backpack I took to the Pemberley Walk at Lyme Park and blow me the stuff I have been looking for was in there...only went last Saturday!

    Morning all

    CY hope the abs work quickly and you're feeling better.

    Dusty - hope you managed to get some sleep and DS is on the mend.

    I need to do some ironing today and think about getting stuff packed seeing as we're going away Saturday morning. I also need to hoover round and generally tidy up. Beavers are having a fun day today as well so I wouldn't mind nipping up there as well. I have got loads to do really and only 2 days to do it in!

    Anyway I suppose getting out of bed would be a start!

    Have a good day all

    Hugs

    Morning all.

    Sneaking back in after 3 days of errand running! :eek:I have no idea how much I've spent, but all the back to school shopping is just about done. We just need to order blouses from Ge0rge as Mr A only had short sleeved in DD's size and she wants long sleeved so her jumper won't itch. Need to order a few bits of basics as well so I'll lump it all in together as I hate slogging my way through the rails trying to find our sizes.

    House is tidy-ish, laundry is up to date except for towels which will be washed today and the dogs stuff which I'm hoping to get done today but its not as urgent. Right now before I do anything else though I'm going to get my tax return & tax credits done. I've left DD in bed sleeping as I need both laptops (mine has the accounts on but hates the gov websites) so if I can convince the dog to leave me alone for an hour I'll get it done. I'll post a list later and work out what needs doing then ;)

    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    Morning all :)
    I can't believe that it's Thursday already - where has that week gone?
    OK, so far I have stripped and changed our bed, bedsheets are in WM. Have showered, had breakfast, fed small people and dogs. When I looked in the mirror to put a bit of make-up on as taking oldest mutt to the vets this morning, there was an old lady looking back :eek: I really need to sort my hair out today. More grey than I care to admit!!! Does dyeing your hair count as hobby time? :rotfl:

    When I get back, the Master Bedroom is next! Today will be a flying day...

    Jttou- calming vibes being sent your way.

    Ds1 and I have wudupa and I have put some washing on. Have been on the net looking at baby things. Obviously I knew about the obvious things like cots and pushchairs but I had forgotten about the little things. It's so annoying knowing I sold all of these things for peanuts! I've been looking for second hand but so far haven't found a lot! Need to go to a specific nearly new type sale I think! I bought a towel in mothercare yesterday that was only a fiver. When we had ds1 we had three or four baby towels that only lasted for the first 9 months! I am only buying one this time and I bought a bigger hooded one that will last a bit longer!

    Anyway going out at 10 and I'm still not dressed so I had better get a wiggle on! Here is my list for today!


    Thrilling Thursday: Master Bedroom
    Clear that floordrobe (don't ever buy a games compendium! Ds2 loves to get all the pieces out, they are currently all over my bedroom floor, as I had hidden it from him! It's such a military operation putting it all away it is is impossible for a three year old! I don't know how many times ds1 and I have put it away! I am tempted to get rid of it)
    Make bed
    Dust any fluffy surfaces
    Vacuum
    Declutter a hotspot
    Wash a window
    Tidy your smalls drawer

    Extras:
    HHI
    Wm x 2
    Clean remaining door in hallway
    Empty ds2s room! :eek:

    Good morning all. Sending lots of get well soon hugs to all that need them xx

    haven't been on for a few days, was working all weekend. Worked Monday morning and finished at 11 so decided to make a start on the girls room. I'm not sure what they had been doing but their entire floor was covered in toys, higher than their bed! It took me all day just to throw everything into boxes and moved them into bathroom out of the way. Tuesday I sorted through 3 of the smaller boxes, toys to keep put into toy boxes, 3 carrier bags into bin and a box full of baby toys or things to come downstairs (pens, pencils...) left. There is still 3 huge boxes to do but i need to catch up on some of the list first as the rest of the house has suffered. I really want to order them new beds and storage, will make it so much easier in there.

    I also need to sort tax credits today. I've been waiting for dh but will have to give an estimate.

    right better go feed sone kiddies that have just appeared (they've been playing upstairs since they woke) and make dh (who has just appeared) a coffee.
