PIgpen- thank you for the ironing challenge- My ironing pile is an hour smaller than yesterday - but I NEED to do 1/2 hour extra a day unitt its gone.Just teh incentive I need

Extra Mission
Pick one or more of the following tasks

• Clear one hotspot, or just spend at least 5 minutes tackling it
• Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself
• Clean the fluff from the fire.. not while it is on!! Don’t forget to arrange for it to be serviced before winter sets in if you have a gas fire!! Or chimneys swept for real fires! Central heating boilers etc need servicing too!
• Wash a pair of curtains, or some nets or a throw from a chair or bed
• Those up for the 30 minute ironing challenge per day.. that’s on your list too!!

Great extra tasks- goign to wash the nets and sort out the coats I think- eventually did my allocated jobs for yesterday

Maralum I'm with pigpen on breast fed babies- I only spent 3 years feedign so i'm not quite as experience as pigpen - but they don't put on quite as much weight as bottel fed. If they are growing along a line and have wet nappies then they are doign fine.Worry if persistantly cross the centile lines of course!! if they are genetically destined to be big (like mine-6'1/2" at 13 years!) then they will make up for it later

pigpen

NN.. the ironing challenge wasn't my idea.. it was this lot.. saying they had mountains of it.. I just implemented their idea.. glad SOMEONE appreciates it though lol!!

I just went in DS1's room :eek:!!!!!!!! The little !!!!!! has trashed it.. oh he is in SO much trouble when he gets in!!! I'm going to lynch him!!! 3 days it took me to get that reasonable and he wrecks in in about 30 minutes.. and I can't do it all again!! Actually.. I have a 'spare' chest of drawers.. I'll move it into the alcove outside his room on the landing and he can use that.. it may help!!! ..Another job to add to the list lol!!

DD5 is going to find herself in bed in about 2 minutes if she doesn't stop stropping at me. Wierd child

pigpen

Bloody marvellous.. I moved the chest of drawers while putting Tiddles to bed.. and I have cut my hand open I have a cut about an inch long that is bleeding everywhere.. oh the joy!!! I'll put his clothes in the cupboard when I stop bleeding!!

I need a snooze too!!!

pigpen

I just had to clean out my WM filters.. and one is being soaked in bleach so disgusting was it.. I just rinsed them last week but they appear to have grown sludge membranes since then.. probably something to so with washing DS1's bedding!!! Most nasty!! Hopefully my WM's will smell nicer now!!

I's desperately looking for things to add to lunch boxes tomorrow.. I can bake a cake and give them a slab each. I can't even bake hobnob biscuits because we have no oats!! Wonder if we have weetabix.. could do the weetabix cake.. I have pastry and sausages so could do sausage rolls.. I can do bread so cheese and ham sarnies are possible. Little pots of raisins I can do.. and I could cook some chicken fillets and do wraps with chicken, boiled egg and mayo.. then 79p for 12 packs of crisps.. and a bag of potatoes (£1.99 but does 3 meals) for dinner tonight.. that about covers it I think. Does that sounds reasonable?? not too much like junk fod or too expensive?? I might be able to get them some cheap biscuits as well with the change.. I'll have to see. Darn.. we need milk too... it'll sort..

rach

looks healthy enough to me pigpen.

well i've got a headache and my ears are all bunged up! on my 2nd cuppa which might help. not done any writing yet but one load of washing hung up and the throw from the bed is in the wm as we speak. have spoken to the transport man for the wedding too. if OH reminds me what i need to do again i'll clobber him.... not sure why i am doing it all anyway!!!

pigpen

I just had a thought.. the greengrocers where my sister works might have some bags of pennies off me.. which will mean I could get my potatoes for a couple of bags of 2p's!!! AND If I took £5 worth in I could get some fruit & I'd have change!!! Brainwave!!

Lunch time.. I am STARVING!!!! What we having? I'm hvaing last nigths left over savoury mince and new potatoes!
