So Nicki - does that mean you and OH are YOU & OH??? Just ignore if you think I am being nosey (which I am, my life is so boring;) ).

Swimming done, just finished eating tea (S & S Chicken balls & chips:D ). Kiddies watching Angelina Ballerina, they are eating tea in front of the telly with plates on their laps for a treat (i.e. Mummy cannot be bothered to set the table and wants 5 mins peace). Will get them sorted for bed next and then maybe play a board game until their bedtime.

Tomorrow is:-

Flylady tasks - littles room is looking ok, did the tops of wardrobes/cleaned window last week so shouldnt take long.

Hiya,
Completely missed doing anything on Wednesday's list and I don't know if I'll get much done tonight, I'm too damn cold for one thing, but I do have tomorrow off so I plan to be up early for a big catch up and some other jobs which are just lingering. I need to get a grip on my life again.
I'm right out of sorts at the moment, falling out with myself and wallowing in imagined misery. Hugs to all with real worries and ailments today.
Hot chocolate and a fluffy blanket for the rest of the evening I think.

Back in the morning to sieze Friday by the whatsits and show no mercy. Have a good evening all.

I love most chemical smells, like chlorine and medicine too. And cut grass! I love taking Shadow for walkies in the summer, when they've just cut the grass in the park!

I've had my spag bol (froze a portion for later) done the dinner dishes, cleaned the fish, finished the ironing and packed the board & iron away.

I couldn't get my new marigolds to dry properly, tried draping them on the kitchen taps but only the top-side would dry. So I've made a little 'stand' to hang them on, with a old empty spice pot, 2 bamboo sticks and some sand for weight. I've stuck the gloves on the sticks, so they can stand up and drain off properly. It looks a little rude thou, as the stick holds up the middle finger, and the others droop down :eek: giving 'the birdie'!

Looks like a day off for me tomorrow, no kids or spare rooms! I might take Shadow up on the moors for a really long walk, if the weathers ok. I love the cold and the rain, so hopefully it will be bucketting down and blowing a gale to blow the cobwebs away.

Going to chill for the next hour (can't believe it's 7.40 already!) then get ready for work.

No we're not, we're friends though which is an improvement on July/August when it all came to a head

evening all.

Feeling chuffed as I did do the bathroom whilst little one was in there so another room ship shape.

Went through the book cupboard and sorted little ones books - read lots he choose tonight.

He has ditched a few books and bath toys so more stuff leaving the house - yippee.

Off to Ikea with a friend tomorrow so need to do a little list and measure a couple of bits and then a bit of ironing as the board is still up - I will get to the end of it again.

*Steps out of NBC suit* well thats the bathroom and loo's done :j :j :j My god I am sooo ashamed...:o
I ended up using bounty kitchen roll as cloths because my lovely white microfibre cloths would never recover even with a napalm bleach :eek: I knew it was bad in there but *shudder* its taken me all day scrubbing like a madwoman,I used 2 yes 2 pumice stones up on the limescale (etc) in the loos :eek: :eek: :eek: I had to have a bath after all that.....

Been to my course today and i'm really enjoying it can't believe i'm half way through already .

Spent all day yesterday on bebo, i'm a loner no one what's to be my friend (anyone what to be my friend) I've even went on to computer to see if i can find myself how sad am i.

Oh got my tumble drier balls today so i shall test them tonight .

Big hugs to everyone who needs them, now i'm gonna go and put a load of washing on. Oh and kettles on if anyone whats a :coffee: .
