Just the washing focussed on today but it's nice to be on top of it again.
I finish work for Christmas tomorrow at 2.10pm, we'll probably 2.30pm by the time the parents collect their offspring. I'm hoping to spend tomorrow evening just catching up with some of the housework and get ahead for my day off Wednesday. DS breaks up Wednesday too so I dont have a few days to get ahead. :eek: Will I ever get my stuff wrapped.......
Right taking DS to bed soon and an early night for me if I can.

Good luck with the decluttering.
Put your mobile phone onto record, then play it back to his dad. You shouldn't have to put up with this kind of behaviour. :cool:I Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.

Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.

Thanks both.
DH is back at work today but I'm expecting a call to collect him as he has extreme man flu.:eek::mad:.
I have stripped the beds this morning and put a load into the washer. I have also collected all the dry washing from radiators and folded it to be put away soon.
Today I'm going to try to do as much as is possible, in a calmer way as possible while entertaining DS who is now off school. We are going to pop to ald1s to get some bits for Christmas and top up the shopping. I dread to think what I'm going to feed the difficult little devil for the next two weeks. He is so fussy.
Tonight I'm going to try and wrap the pressies. I don't have too much to do so it shouldn't take too long. I don't think I have ever been so disorganised for Christmas before.
Oh an I need to renew my library book and take back DS's books AND take the wreaths to the cemetery and crem AND get petrol.:eek:
At least it's payday, though that will be moved across to my savings until the end of the month. I'm never making that mistake again and ending up skint in January.
Sorry it's a very bitty post, I'm just jotting down my thoughts.

Morning everyone.
Well I got most of my jobs done yesterday apart from wrapping pressies.
This morning I've been to the sorting office at 6.30 to beat the queues and been with DH to T3scos (officially hell on earth).
In a while I'm going to take Ds to his breakfast with santa at a local cafe. It's a small group of children's so hopefully it will be nice and he may even socialise a little.
After that a trip into the library and then into the local town to get some elastic.
Later I REALLY need to make mums trousers. Panicking now.
I do also need to write some christmas cards (a real bugbear) and take them out.
Yesterday I was doing some cleaning with my rarely used steam cleaner and getting really frustrated. I have real issues with dust for some reason so when I steam it just clumps together making it look worse. I definately need to find a regular routine to get on top of things. I guess so much slipped while the stuff was piled up. Hopefully as I achieve more and more cleaning with become much easier. I also only have the two cloths that came with it so I'm going to dig out a couple of old tatty towels and make a few more.
More reasons to get rid of the stuff and clutter.
Have a good day all. X1 debt v's 100 days chapter 34: T3sco bank CC £250/£525.24 47.59%
