    no idea where the day has gone, time to go and get A & W. A will have a shock when she see's her bed in the hall!!! :rotfl:

    Typical just as I thought I was not going to get a call back they call. They are passing the details of my enquiry on and now I have to wait for another call next week, calming down a bit now.

    My get up and go got up and left about mid day, was all motivated until then, wonder if I can sneak back to bed without anyone noticing :confused: , after I put fresh sheets on of course, I hate having colds, makes me feel like just sleeping all day. DP will be able to look after the boys, until he goes out with his toy cars, so might go now..........
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I got another coat of paint behind the unit in the bathroom so that can go back once it is dry.

    I've got the 3 girls playing with the playdough now.. PEACE AND QUIET!!!! I love it!!

    I bought another bag of onions to peel and my sister was most excited and bagsied a jar of picklies.. she is a pig!!! lol I said so long as she gives me the jar back I'll do her some!

    My other sister wants me to try relisting her stuff once more and if it doesn't sell this time to send it all to charity shop!.. I have some more of her stuff to list so hopefully some of the older stuff will go.

    I have the sheets washed and dried, and just need to get them back on the bed.. then I can strip DD4's and DS 2 & 3's.. then everyone has had clean sheets this week!.. I need to whizz DS2's duvet through the wash and buy s new duvet for DS1 and new pillows for him.. though I may buy new ones for me and give him my old ones.. he only dribbles on them.. YUK!!

    What's for dinner?? I need some inspiration!!!!!

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Photogenic I've been Money Tipped!
    My get up and go has gone as well....I suddenly feel very sleepy:o

    BEFORE OH gets in I need to :
    • wash slowcooker out & todays dishes
    • Sort out last of the washing (1 load left, but some of it is taking ages to dry!)
    • make our bed up - pending the sheet on the line being dry
    • Sort out lunches for tomorrow (DD wants pasta and OH can do his own! :D )
    • Put Pasta on for tea - just parmesan & olive oil on it I think, can't be bothered making carbonara as the bacon is still frozen and we haven't any mushrooms cause I haven't been shopping :rotfl:
    First off - I'm going to go and find the cold relief capsules and the cough medicine. I was fine this morning :mad:

    Oh and did I mention DD is currently watching High School Musical - it's not helping I feel ill!!!
    Creeping back in for accountability after falling off the wagon in 2016.
    Need to get back to old style in modern ways, watching the pennies and getting stuff done!

    ok.. ebay parcels sorted.. I have 3 to post now.. bed sheets I'm going to do now.. nothing worse than wanting to get in bed but you can't because you've got to put the sheets on!

    Taking my huge cuppa upstairs to encourage me to stay there and fling some carp.. I have only filled 1 wheelie bin this week and they are emptied in the morning so I need to fill the other one!!
