DD3 is in bed singing at the top of her voice..

"we're SOARIN'.. FLYIN'.. There's not a star in heaven that we can't reach...."

she is actually a MUCH better singer than most of my other children.. odd child.. this is the same one that wants to be a nail technician when she grows up.. high ambitions!!

Tomorrows list is up now

And I need a wee!

DS1 is a right pig.. you know what he said when he came home and I had gutted his room again... will you put my duvet cover back on for me please because I get in a knot with it!!!!!!!

!!!!!!???? I'd have gone spare if my mother had 'rifled' through my stuff at that age.. he is foul!! I have 6 loads of washing and half a wheelie bin of rubbish too!! He is most out out though I put a grey bed sheet on. which matches his duvet cover.. apparently it is uncool to have matching bedding!!!!!

I'd make him sleep in the garden if he was mine :rotfl::rotfl: I told OH about earlier when you changed his bed and all OH said was "EEEEwwwwwwww!" :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Pigpen was he not even a little embarrassed about 'those' sheets? You got to get OH to tell him about the ''pinch it quick' method! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:save mum from cleaning icky sheets. or show him how the WM works. or buy him some tissues... Oh god, I have two boys, I'm so not changing their beds, they can do them themselves!!!

Not looking too bad. I have started on the bathroom whilst DS3 was in the bath so should not take too long to finish. Really hoping to finish the week all done with just the kids rooms for the weekend.

Night all

gunsandbanjos

well mouse traps didnt arrive today, so sat in all day for nothing. The upside is i didnt spend any money because i wasnt out!! Hopefully they will arrive tomorrow, i'm sitting here minding my own business and i can hear them scurrying about:eek:

My mums offered me her cat for a couple of days to see if he can eat his way through them:rolleyes: Not sure how pleased my birds would be?

Solwaykid

I've done a little bit of paperwork and shuffled imaginary money aroud but I didn't do any ironing. It'll still be there tomorrow.
Plan for tomorrow is make the bathroom all lovely and have an evening of self indulgent treatments 'cos I'm looking a little rough around the edges. Oh Friday can't come soon enough..

Have a good Friday. Night night.
