I have a daughter who hates having a messy room
:D:rotfl: Yes she does mess it up occasionally and then complains when she's told to tidy it, but mostly she keeps it very tidy ... I expect she will more than make up for it when she's a teen
:rotfl::rotfl:
I also need to get out in the back yard and clear up some of the fallen leaves, and pull out the brown/black plants and clear any firework debris but the weather forcast is light rain all dayPlus its just TOOO cold :snow_laug

The beds are stripped so I'm leaving them to get a good air before I hoover & remake them, need to haul the hoover upstairs and the cleaning stuff.
I have to say I still do prefer the kids rooms on a Friday, Wednesday just doesn't feel right lol it's master bedroom day, think all those months of having the days in order have ingrained themselves on me0 -

[STRIKE]Spend at least half an hour doing something for yourself!!!!! paint your nails, make an appointment to have your hair done, a lovely soak in the bath.. whatever you feel like!![/STRIKE] This was easy-still on here oppps
Level Two

[STRIKE]Dusting.. all those shelves and flat fluffy surfaces!! Don’t forget the light shade and curtain pole!!![/STRIKE]
Level Three
[STRIKE]Strip beds, turn and vacuum mattresses!! and replace with fresh linen .. check if duvets need freshening up too!![/STRIKE]

Morning all,
Not much to do today as got up early - not by choice - again!
So far:
Wm been on - now on airers
Banana loaf made for my mum as thanks for babysitting tonight - we are off to see the Stereophonics in Manchester!
clean washing put away
Cot changed - again - due to all the snot!!!
I usually do all upstairs on a Friday but it's my uncles funeral this Friday, he died at weekend, wasn't sudden as he had been ill but not ill for long and he was only in his 50's - it's been a real shock for us all.
So will probably leave upstairs until Sunday now.
Kaz - would take too long to list the problems we have had - still have with DD2's behaviour - she is always good & polite at school too though! If you PM me I will reply when I can - be good to compare them - it feels better when someone else has similar problems!! xx0 -

Morning all
Spoke to DD1 teacher re her getting punched in the mouth. She said she had not been informed of any incident by the "dinner ladies" or play leaders as they are now called. DD told he she told her teacher after lunch and she said it is all done and dusted (but I guess DD may not have explained it very well), anyway she will look into. I didnt mention the boys name as there were other mums around but did say if you ask Elise she will tell you the boys name as he is in her class as i dont think its appropriate for me to mention here. So we will see. Thanks for the advice:D .
So far i have:-
Usual morning routine - pack ups, dressing, breakfast etc
S & S Kitchen
Dark wash done and pegged out
Hoover lounge
Kitchen floor hoovered
Kids room not too bad as had a reshuffle in there over the weekend. I do need to do the beds and hoover the top of the wardrobe. Sorted through their storage boxes yesterday whilst looking for the happyland postman and the xray machine for the happyland hospital - no sign of either.
Please with Ebay, put one of DH monitors on last night and had £50 bid in 10 mins with 2 other watcher and 6 days to go:money: . Other items have watchers too but you never know if they have something similar to sell.
I need another cuppa. DD2 had bad dreams last night came in 4 times so in the end I got into bed with her (got that mattress is uncomfortable) so had about 4 hours sleep.
Right will stick kettle on and strip beds whilst it boils.0 -
Torianut- I saw the Stereophonics about 2 years ago and they're fantastic live, hope you have a great night.:DThe trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent are full of doubt.Bertrand Russell0

Morning All
Just got back from the doctors and he has reluctantly agreed to me going back to work on the 19th of Nov. I'm quite looking forward to going back and getting some normality back. But I've got to take it easy.
I've got lots planned to do today and I'm still motivated after last nights KICK!!. Must get on and make a start.
Catch up with you all later and let you know how I'm getting on
