Hi,
Have finished the kitchen, hoovered, mopped downstairs and put a load of washing on.
I've still got dinner to do. We're having chilli tonight. Also got DH's bag to do. He's not going tonight, but may need to 'leave quickly' tomorrow. I don't know why he doesn't just go tonight...and he's getting on my nerves!!

Oh and I have to find something to use up peanut butter, choc spread, yeast, bread flour, marmalade and loads of hot choc. Might bake some concoction and serve it with custard!!!
was thinking of putting the choc spread and peanut butter with rice crispies and then chilling, not sure if it will work, but worth a go.

Just waiting for floor to dry and then I'm putting the kettle on...

macaroni made for kiddies while babysitting, tatties in micro as we speak. Will all be bunged in the oven when I get to my mates.

need to get the dishes done and get some make up on so I look like the domestic goddess I am.


Oh, hubby was in stitches earlier! I gave DS1 a sticker, sticking it on on Tuesday, hubby said 'its Monday', I say back, 'no it's not, it's Tuesday, it's Living Room day'. He thinks I need to get out more, hope that means he is planning on taking me out more!

pigpen

Holly.. at least you told him. ..

Tia .. suggest it!!! lol... Dare you!

Collected the fleas.. I even remembered DD4 has an opticians appointment at 4:30pm.. see I may have a functinal brain cell after all!! DD1's new specs are ready as well.. and they aren't going to charge me for them as it was a manufacturing fault.. like I'd have paid for them anyway.. do they think I am stupid?!!!

lil_me

Crikey, how did I get all that done! Everything apart from making hairdressers appontment (they were closed when I rang) the sandpit and trampoline parts wouldn't fit in the car as it was packed to the door with what was left in the shed (he said 'just a few bits left' what a lie!) oh and the drill needs bring back over will phone DP about that in a mo, is done!

Even some how between paint coats fitted in lunch, scrubbed the paint spills off the floors and mopped them, cleaned the fridge shelves (was something growing in there, urgh!) and demoulded some of the conservatory frames.

Was a race back as I didn't hear the alarm go off on my phone, pleased was no policemen about as I wasn't going slow on the way back! Waiting for DS1 to get in from school then see what DP wants me to do, it'll be either more packing here or if something still needs doing at house then go back there. Putting another coat on the bedroom tomorrow, 2 coats of expensive crown paint which has always covered most things and I can still see yellow!!!

Brownie and a cuppa would be great (if pigpen and tiddles haven't scoffed it all)

Oh and I gt a text this morning off my friend, started with got took in hospital last night, contractions every 2-3 minutes, 3cm dilated, but as I scrolled down said 'then the contractions stopped and they sent me home so off to bed for a sulk' I text her back poor girls fed up.

Rang my Dad, our calls always finish with love you, told DP aswell, only because he stole my sweeping brush when I wanted to use it, said 'tell me you love me and you can have it back' so I did then pushed him off the chair and ran away :rotfl:

Dustykitten

Sitting at my nice tidy desk. Kettle on.

Easy tea - jackets,beans and cheese so I can continue the sorting - it is in organised piles now - mags/leaflets etc to do over lunchtimes. Filing (to do next) massive box of child orintated stuff, slightly smaller pile of my stuff, pile of seeds etc. At least it feels more tackable now it is ordered.

flying.. flying... flying... failing... failing, Kids being off school is making me lazy... I have discovered the Christmas forum on here and have been reading and planning to make hampers for everyone this year. Been to Ikea on Saturday, in town today, kids want to go to Glasgow Science Centre on Wednesday. I told them I am making a list with all the jobs that I want doing before we go on a daytrip and they have to pick something to do. DD1 did hoover the living room this morning and tidied dirty dishes away after I went into "lecture mode" She is lovely when she wants to be.

Still need to dust though. and a hundred and one other things..

I have not caught up with everyone yet... but will read later and make my list..

Going to put baking potatoes in oven now and pick DH up from work. :wave:

:rotfl: I'm seriously in danger of getting my days mixed up this week too. Just hasn't felt like Monday today and I know why. NO KITCHEN! Isn't it funny! lol

Been round to OH's to tell him I love him (wasn't gonna use the credit on my phone - isn't that terrible ) and duly forgot! Told DD2 this morning when she left for school though so it still counts!

So, I've got nearly a full ticked off list, forgot to C&P it though so have to do that in the next post doh!

tia I'm not a big fan of Cheesecake but that looks delish.

holly that's the response I would have getten off my OH too most probably

Oooooh! flowers Juliejim how utterly gorgeous...
