I hate it when you go to put a child to bed and then remember that your stripped the bed earlier and have forgotten to remake it.

I feel so grumpy that I don't want to be in the same room as myself.

Hi everyone, hope everyone is well.
I've been flat out all day today and yesterday, DD has to get her anodes(sp) out and vents put in and her hearing has got a bit worse but the vents should increse her hearing by 20%. She should get it doon after christmas.

Sister has an interview tomorrow so hopefully she will get something soon.

Hubby had a bad day yesterday so went down to see him but it meant the kids missed there wee club so filling guilty that i can't get all done (think i need to make a clone), anyway hubby ok today and doctor thinks he shouldn't be in to long. Got home last night exhaushed and just fell into bed, really needed an early night as DS went to school on monday with his shoes on the wrong feet and then yesterday i sent him in with his trousers on back to front i'm was so cut to the bone when the teacher told me.

Livingroom looking ok and so is kitchen, so all in all the house will do. Washing machine is playing up and all the cold water taps aren't running very much water for some reason, so i need to get it working. Car is a complete tip and it's due for a service first thing tomorrow so need to get it done, i'll be out with me torch . Plus i need to dye me hair tonight still havn't got round to it yet, me and me bright yellow hair .

Someone please give me a great big kick up the jacksee.

Yay - I'm here just in time to receive a massive boot from Rach!! Just what I needed.

Hello everyone. Hope you are all having a good week. Apologies to all on Facebook - haven't managed to get anywhere near it this week.

My week has been an utter mess, but we'll carry on regardless.

Thursday:
Walk Arsha DONE
Get towels washed and on the line
Good wipe down of kitchen
9.10 - Doctor
10.00 Pick up friend and take her home
Post package
Vacuum
11.30 Meeting at budget place to see about becoming an advisor
Home, lunch, tidy desk
Pray that the boys new hard drive arrives . . . :rolleyes:
1.30 Pick up friend and take her back to her car (it's getting fixed)
2.00 Dentist
3.00 LO arrives
Put pictures up in kitchen

I was hoping to get outside windows washed today, too, but they are digging up outside, so it's hardly worth it

We have SIL and family arriving from Australia on Saturday - so I really need to do a good clean throughout the whole house - but I guess they'll just have to accept us as we really are LOL. (She's a bit of a clean/neat/perfection freak and unfortunately I fall into the trap of trying to match her every time she visits.)

S0d all done here today but we all survived it in once piece. Was touch and go for a while there with DD2 whinging but kiddies in bed and both asleep by the end of first story.

All i really wanted to do today was have a duvet day, mushy DVDs cups of tea and choccy biccies and stay in my pit all day. I soooo cannot remember the last time I did that, probably when pregnant with DD1 so at least 5 years.

Well tomorrow is another day so lets hope I actually get round to doing something.

Evening all

Massive hugs to vanilla - you sound like you have so much on your plate at the moment, dont try and do too much. Wish I could help in some way for you. Hugs to anyone else who needs a big one.

Well DS thinks I've gone mad as I'm having the cookup tonight. He wondered what was happening when i rescued the breadmaker from the attic where it has been for at least 2 years. So thats on attempting pigpens chocolate bread but its not looking too promising at the moment as I hadnt got a clue which program to use (oh to have a basic model! OH has to get everything complicated). I've made a huge coffee sponge which just needs some butter icing making and I've also got an attempt at Gluten Free carrot cake in the oven at the moment - worried about that one as it had only done 15 mins and was trying to climb over the top of the tin so will probably have a gooey mess when I go back to the kitchen. And I'm on my 3rd Smirnoff Ice :beer: which is sooo unusual as I dont usually drink at all. Could be interesting by the time all the cooking is finished :rotfl:

Best go have a look now

Evening all!
Feel like a bit of a lurker this week as usually post a lot, do my flying and join in with the chat but I am not very chatty this week!

Done some flying - got a mini mission to turn my pantry (read - junk cupboard) into Nigellas! i just love her pantry - how sad is that! everytime I try to make a start LO seems to get whingy and clingy or starts climbing! I will have it goddesslike by next week though...
