Oh no!!!!!! Think DS1 has nits , now i don't know for sure but he has like black pin head sized dot's on his head (have found about 5 so far). I only looked because he said his head was itchy. We've never had them before so i'm not 100% sure if it is them. DS2 has 2 dot's, DD none, i've been picking them out. I've been looking for eggs but i don't have a notice. Don't think there is any. Help please.
Do ya think it is them?????
If it is do i keep him off school?????
I keep scratching my head but i think it is because i'll thinking of them.

http://www.deepcovepac.ca/headlice.html pictures on there. Black specs could be either muck or lice poop. The eggs are tiny brown things and tapered as on the pictures. Google for 'head lice' you'll get more of an idea. If there is eggs most likely a lice somewhere if it hasn't left them already. Keeping them off depends on school policy.

**scratches at thought**

52 minutes on hold now!!

DP not in, no doubt running errands for his mother, conveniently didn't take his phone, she'd better not think he's doing that for the next fortnight while she is back like she usually does!!!

Ooh finally got the flylady plot. I want flying to make my life easier and not take it over (that is how it has felt for months). I just managed to do the kitchen in 30 minutes as it is clutter free - ok it is not a deep clean but everything is wiped, fridge,sink,washer, AGA all sorted. Now I need to get every room working that well and I'll be a happy bunny.,

Bathtime for DS3 and DS2, homework for DS1 so me off the computer for a while. Nigella on tonight - I love that and will label more PE socks whilst watching.

:j Wohoo Dusty, see a little faith and it does get down to half an hour or less per room,:rotfl: I'm just wondering how long it'll take me to get back to under half an hour per room when we move!

Well 58 minutes on hold it was answered by a lady who said 'sorry I can't deal with that I'll need to transfer you' :mad: that's what the last one said, eventually got through to person who said 'When your quarterly bill arrives if the charge is still on there then call us and we'll get it taken off as you shouldn't have been charged' :j just saved myself £124.99 by being on the phone for just over an hour, well worth it :j must get DP to buy that man a pint or several!

Right, I've forgot to inform gas and electric peeps of move so best do that next, they're open until 8pm according to my last bill..off to www.saynoto0870.co.uk to find a geographical number so I can use my free calls...

Ok, lets see now!

Monday Mayhem - Living Room, Hall

Level 1
[strike]Vacuum floors and sofas[/strike]Tick, sofas definatly needed it under the cushions! My dog takes charge over the sofa (I have my recliner) and her fur gets everywhere!
Level 2
[strike]Dusting, even if around everything[/strike] Tick
[strike]Remove clutter[/strike] Tick, only thing out of place in the living room is my ironing board, which I will use (sometime this week:o) But it is now folded and out of the way. If it's up it tends to become another cluttered surface!
[strike]Clean TV, other electricals and cabinets[/strike] Tick
[strike]Water any thirsty plants, wipe their poor neglected leaves!![/strike]Tick, did yesterday!

Extra Mission:
Pick one or more of the following tasks –

• [strike]Paperwork clearance.. spend 15 minutes minimum sorting through those piles of paper.[/strike]Tick, already done. This is one of the few things I do immediatly!:D
  
• [strike]Vacuum under furniture you can manage to move without hurting yourself [/strike]Tick
  
• [strike]Ring someone you love, just to tell them you love them!! [/strike] I rang my mum yesterday and did this, tried to do it again today anyway, but no answer so I've sent her a text, does that count?

My living room now looks spotless, I'm puffing like a train & sweating. God I'm so unfit! :rolleyes: Looks like this thread will burn up some calories as well as keep my house nice. I don't think my hoover likes housework either, he rolled over twice and switched himself off!
That's all from me today, but I think I'll add a couple of lists, a daily task list, and a general to do. They're small at the moment, but I'm sure they'll grow!

Daily Tasks:
Dishes
Brush dog
Walkies
Clean yard

To do list:
Washing
Ironing
Wash and vacuum car

Right I'm off for a shower before Nigella, then it's off to work for me.

I'm not doing ANYTHING else today! At all, or ever again! *gets all emo*

Back from friends, the counciling must have went ok, they came back together to talk.

Kids are now in bed, I'm sitting with a nice healthy Apple [STRIKE]cheesecake[/STRIKE] and lemon tea [STRIKE]coffee[/STRIKE]. You would never catch me skipping dinner and eating another piece of cheesecake and yet more coffee!

Blah @ Kitchen. Its clean-ish and tidy-ish.

2 coats of expensive crown paint which has always covered most things and I can still see yellow!!!

Useless information - Years ago when I went out with a decorator he told me yellow is the hardest colour to colour - worse than trying to cover black, purple or brown
