Dishes are done, but on clearing out the fridge to double check what I need from Asda I've managed to find more washing up :doh:

Livingroom is as decluttered as it can be until the washing and ironing is done. Well when I say decluttered it's all sitting in a crate on the sofa waiting to go upstairs :rotfl:

I really need to hoover & dust (thinking I might just flick around with the featherduster :think: ) and the kitchen floor needs hoovering & mopping

Still playing musical laundry infront of the fire (boy it's warm in here!) but at least the sun has come out and the wind has picked up a bit so hopefully the bedding thats out on the line will dry

Just about to head over to the Asda website to see how much the shopping I have on my list will cost, then halving it! I'm sure we won't die if I don't buy worchestershire sauce and OH can always use my shampoo if needs be :rotfl::rotfl:

Right, shopping list. :wave:

Afternoon all just back from town so having a quick cold lamb sarnie - delicious.

Tori my eldest went through a stage of waking up at 5:00 am when he was that age - it was tough. He is 13 now and believe me it is not a problem we have now:rotfl: You might find it better when the clocks change in the next couple of weeks - at least to you it will then be 6:00!

ok.. lunch break girlies.. what we snaffling today? I have freezer surprise and a cupoa.

Kitchen floor is nice now.. apart from the heap of floor grot in the corner.. I need to have a musical laundry session too. I have a basket full of school wear from the girls room yesterday

I also decided the children can clean this back room when I get them from school. I need to deflea the little 3 as well I found 2 on Tiddles this morning and 3 on DD3.

I need to whizz over the worksurfaces in the kitchen and wipe the table.. then I can sort the folded laundry into piles and they can put that away too.

Am I mean having them clear a room and put away the laundry.. bear in mind I have 6 of them capable of doing these jobs??

DD1 has been entered for the KS3 SATs extension paper for her maths so she should be getting level 8... *proud beam*.

WM load 3 just finished so I have another wet load to dry somehow!!

I'm now starting feel like Cinderella and wondering if I should give Lucifer his bath!! lol
I have a heap of stuff I need to photograph for ebay too.

Opened MSN so I could check my hotmail and see who was about - now I'm helping OH with the email for his work :rolleyes: Isn't it a good job I don't go out to work and that I'm able to do things like this :rotfl::rotfl:

I want to ebay stuff :mad: Completely pointless though ATM as postal workers are still out on strike here :rolleyes: Apparently Royal Mail drafted in 300 students here to sort the mail out the other day :rotfl: They only usually do that at Christmas so the back-log must be huge! :eek: Bet us lot could sort it out in just a couple of hours though, and have it delivered :rotfl::rotfl:

I'm hoping that since it's gone quiet on MSN I should be okay to go to Asda, but I might just pop to the Co-op instead and pick up a loaf, then go to Asda straight from school tomorrow while its quiet

Oopps spoke to soon - apparently OH might have found a way to stop some of the SPAM we keep getting :rotfl: He's supposed to be fixing the work email :rolleyes::rotfl::rotfl: Oh, boys and their toys :rolleyes: :wave:

DH took DS to school so I scooted around in my PJ's for an hour and did loads!
Then I had my hair cut at home and that made me feel better so I have managed to get the kitchen and dining room done. I currently don't work Mondays and these two rooms are open plan in our house so it works best for me to do them together when I have more time.
Just had a cuppa and will now send some emails, write a couple of letters and I have already made 2 phone calls I've been putting off.
Will probably collapse in a heap soon, but doing stuff whilst I feel like it!
