    I've done nothing today either.. got a fair bit of knitting done.. hung out some washing, fed the machinne the sicky car seat covers and thats about it.

    Off to find uniforms for tomorrow.. then remember Squeak has to go dressed as an 'asian animal' ... buzzards!! I'll dig out the lion I think..

    I've worked myself into an indiscrete level of hysteria today.. Oh the joy!

    Tomorrow isnt looking much better either.

    Morning everyone. Sitting g in the playroom with both small people on my lap while I try to drink a cuppa. Small got into our bed in the night so I slept badly and Tiny is in a truly grotty mood. It is the last day of term. Thank the Lords.

    Must clean out the fish today. I'm sure they can't breathe _pale_

    Morning all. I was up at 5am with both dogs (btw OldDog is 16 today) but went back to bed and only got up at 7am which is a luxury lie in for me.

    Just had breakfast, must get dressed as we're due a furniture delivery today. Last day at paid stuff before a week off, which I am thinking of extending by a couple of days if I can.

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

    Good Morning All,

    Dog tired again today (what's new!). So far today I have fed the WM, unloaded the DW, fed small people and made DH lunch, and wiped several bums (both children have the tummy bug now :( )

    I am pleased as I got our tax credits claim sorted - it is the first time we have applied and I was dreading it but actually it was all straightforward. Still haven't listed a thing on ebay, will do my best today. Going to nip to Ald! this morning, and maybe order the Blood Sugar Diet book - I need to lose at least 2 stone.

    On with the lists after brekkie. Have lovely days all xx
    MFW :)

    Good Morning all :D

    Hugs, sticks, spoons, vibes to all!

    I was kept awake by the neighbours last night until gone midnight, then woken up by them at 5am :( Only advantage is that because it was already light at that point, when I dozed off again and woke up because of my alarm I was raring to go :rotfl: Would it be really wrong of me to play my music loud today while I get on with the housework? No? Okay then, that's Queen Greatest Hits 1-3 being played loud while I do the cleaning ;):p:rotfl:

    I'm feeling very motivated today to get the housework done. Beds are stripped, DD and I have both had showers, and I've already dealt with my email by deleting 237 messages and filing the few that I need to keep :D WM has just finished so I'm going to hang the first of 4 loads minimum to be done today out, and hopefully it'll dry quickly as its bedding so takes up a lot of room.

    Right, lets see whats left for me to do this week:

    Personal:

    Today I shall be trying to be quiet .. I am as miserable as a wet bee.. My sore mouth has kept me awake most of the night.. so of course you drop off properly about 15 minutes before the alarm goes off.. I hate the world and everything in it!


    I am busy most of the day so havent even bothered trying to get a GP appointment today.. they won't have any and it will pee me off.. and they are shut until Tuesday but OH isn't here so it will be Wednesday before I can even attempt to get one..
