    Not getting very far. Cut the grass and tidied one small bed in the garden. Sripped 2 of the kids bed and washed the stuff. Got DS2 football boots.

    DS1 and 2 both at different sleepovers so just the little one here so may get a bit done later/tomorrow.

    Need to get the washing in - it still looks damp.

    Tidy..

    [STRIKE] Kitchen
    Living Room[/STRIKE]
    Hoover top of stairs (Snotbags (DS2) made a mess with polystyrene)
    Kids room

    Put clean washing away properly (not leave it sitting on the automan)
    [STRIKE]Wash MY car (hubby can do his own wee GT (gay turd))
    Put a washing out to dry
    Move christmas stuff upstairs (like where should I put it?) [/STRIKE]
    Get Grotbags (DS1) new trainers and school bag - going to do it later or leave it, I'm too cranky to go looking for shoes.

    I am SO ANGRY!

    Washed Hubbys GT (btw, its not a GT, its a fiesta, the GT means Gay turd, cos its a wee GT) then washed mine, inside and out, full valet service! ANYWAY, there was a big football mud prints on the bonnet and front wing. I have a fair idea of who it was and I was sorta angry about it, the parents are the type who would be straight down to your door. Now, after I washed it all, I notice that where the ball has hit it, its all scrapped! Its a bloody expensive car, my pride and joy, and its bloody scrapped!

    I have a dilemma though, the kid that did it (or one of his friends) has a little brother who is best friends with DS1. And they are neighbors, staying just round the corner. So, how to say 'if your brat hits my car again with his mucky ball I'm going to chop his balls off!' in a nice, non-aggressive way?
  • I am slowly but surely cleaning all the plaster dust and plaster from where it shouldn't be. It's a horrible job, but I know it's got to be done.

    I was looking at Christmas things in the shops today, arghh !! It feels like it's still ages away, but I know in reality that it's not.

    Borderlakland - I've arranged with my mother to go visit her that weekend to bring your rats over. She told me I was welcome to come visit AFTER I'd dropped the rats off, do you think she was trying to tell me something ?

    Good evening, managed a run over the house, even if I did get almost there and realise I'd left the keys here so had to come back :o got there about 2.30pm. Got the bedrooms vacuumed with the Dyson as the Vax just wasn't getting the cat hair up, I think half of her cat is in my bucket!! house that was supposed to be 'no pets allowed' also found yellow feathers up there, think must have had a budgie or something. Anyway that is done so can vax next week, took the boxes over and managed to get all but one emptied before 3.30pm when I had to come back to make dinner.

    Dinner been eaten, washing up almost finished just a few things soaking, more packing tonight I think. Actually I need to do what Pollybear has and sort the pantry, cupboards and freezer. Need to run these stocks down before we move, also have loads of tins etc.

    tiamai good luck, no point asking me really as I don't do subtle so I am told.

    Shirley feel for you, plaster dust is awful, damp cloth and a vacuum cleaner, plus lots of patience!

    Bartgirl welcome :D
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Good evening everyone,
    I've got most things done today and spent an hour talking to the builder and another hour looking for a free tenancy agreement on the net but no luck:cry: .
    I had done one out a few years ago got it free then but used it for the grant the last time(3 years ago) and when i phoned them on friday about it they said that it had been destroyed a year ago.angry-smiley-030.gif Of course they need it so i'll be looking all night on the net until i find one.
    The builder had said we should think about an ensuite and do it now when we're getting building work done so we are on a very tight budget from now on, everything has to change to be able to do this.
    Sorry for ramblingredface.gif
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j

    Scaredy cat - no i'm not in Devon but it's kind of good to know it's not just my child if you know what I mean.

    Checked my diary for next week and realised i'm on a course on Monday so won't be able to help out in class. Might see if the teacher wants me another day instead as this will give me a chance to have a chat with her. DS no longer has an egg on his head!

    DH went to ikea alone today. He got the bookshelves but managed to get the wrong colour. Ok, I didn't stipulate the exact colour but do you not think he'd get the same colour as the one that's already in the dining room!!! He came home with a garlic press, a whisk and four storage hanger up things for the children's rooms. See, even men can't go in there without buying extra stuff!

    Worked 10 till 7 so haven't done any flying. Will do a bit tomorrow.

    Speak later xx
