    Thanks for the hug Serena:D , I really wish i could hide under the duvet but with 3 & 4 year old at home plus the woof not a chance!

    Well all my S & S needed redoing by lunchtime so rehoovered and picked up in the littles room. Lounge now needs doing again thanks to DD1 give woof the empty smartie tube, or I could pick it up and give it someone for xmas as a 1000 piece jigsaw (think he might have eaten a couple of bits though).

    Took woof to field and littles played on the park (which is in the middle of the field so viewable from every part;) ) so I trotted woof round while they played. Dropped woof off at home and popped to shop. Since coming home I have scoffed 2 curly wurlies (forgot just how lush they are:D ).

    Just about to start tea. Not sure if I have something horrible brewing as my throat feels raw and I feel rough, really dont want to be ill when the girls are both home full-time. Kids screaming at each other again:mad: . DD1 confussed why she is not at school, only been back 5 weeks just got settled in and on holiday - difficult to explain when I have no idea :confused: . Do you think its too late to join a nunnery?

    Hi all,
    Big hugs for Vanilla,Tracyg and Shell today and anyone else who would like one.
    Taken a leaf out of Rach's book and set to as soon as I got home from work. The bathroom is now lovely and clean. Did the door and skirting as my extra. I'm going to hedge my bets and make a start on the livingroom tonight while I have the urge to fly. It's a pit and can't wait any longer.
    I feel like I'm brewing a lurgy so I'll try and have an early night and nip it in the bud. Haven't got time to be ill at the moment!

    Nothing thrilling to report here I'm afraid. Sometimes dull is good though, I don't do adrenalin!

    TTFN, I might pop back later.

    Phew glad living room is tommorow as it's looking a bit grubby! Am planning on vaxing carpet again if I have the energy.

    Not done much on the list yet but have managed to iron,photograph and list about 20 items on ebay am trying to get my list up to 40 at least! Pigpen I don't know how you do it with all your listing!:eek:

    Am going up to give bathroom a quick once over once kids are asleep and going to clean the wire unit thing we have on the wall and get rid of anything we don't use! Not sure I'm gonna manage the understairs cupboard as still feeling a bit rough. Must go look for the sudafed I bought DH a while back as my sinus's hurt.

    Oh I forgot to say earlier, my friend came round to pick up her dd and went into my kichen to fill up her drink before they left and commented on how sparkly it was:D I was tempted to spill the beans and tell her I had been flying but didn't!;)

    Hurrah for livingroom day! That was worth the gamble then.. I'm ahead! Ah the simple things that cheer me up :rotfl: It didn't need much doing to be honest and I'm clearing the hotspot of coffee/laptop table as I go. Luckily too, the curtains are drawn so I can pretend I have no windows or windowsills to do. Is that cheating? Well I'm not here in the hours of daylight mostly so who's gonna know..

    I'm just going to make some supper (last of the anti-social mushroom soup from the freezer) and then sit and do some sitty-down jobs. I must mail a couple of friends I've neglected and sort out this house contents quote. i also need to clean a couple of old mobile phones up so I can send them off for nectar points and the like.

    Still on course for an early night with a honey and lemon..
    Have a useful day tomorrow. Catch you in the evening x
