    i have now calmed a little, i hope others have too!

    managed to quickly tidy round, fish pie was lovely, reloaded Dw and ran it again and OH can empty it later :D

    we're doing our usual friday night slobbing and watching carppy tv :) and i'm in my pjs already.

    oh, and water is leaking through my study ceiling and on to my desk (where the pc is) note to self: phone insurers about the books next week

    OH has just asked me what we talk about on here...think he is worried I tell you all about him!!!

    :eek: You mean you didn't ask him before you posted those pictures of him, eeee rach you are terrible!

    As for the leak, that landlord really wants a kick up the **** doesn't he, bet you can't wait to move. Any luck the insurance will do what they did to my old landlord (council) when the radiator leaked because they knew about it and didn't fix it, so they billed them :D

    :D bribe worked, all the decorations are sorted, ok I remembered we bought a tiny fibre optic tree 2 year ago because we were skint and that most of the other lights and decorations are broken, looks like replacing things might be a bit expensive, hmm, thinking cap on for money saving on those.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Me- I've posted a weekend list of extra stuff, if you want to have a go at those then you are most welcome to, of course like many do you could have the weekend off.

    Anyone know where Nicki is by the way? So many missing people. Becca, Esther etc aswell.

    *draws a kitty cat on pigpens book, passes it back to pigpens kids for them to doodle on it*

    I'll teach you for telling me to put the list in my socks!!! It's next month tomorrow, will that do? Why are you still home anyway? You're usually out on the razzle by now!

    *goes to freezer for dish of christmas pud icecream, ahhhh comfort food!*

    Might watch the documentary DP recorded for me, I wonder what it was, he said he thought I might be interested in it, not like him to be so thoughtful.

    Ok seeing as it's the start of December lets have a slightly more festive weekend list, see I can cope with Christmas now, it's December.
    1. [STRIKE]Clean any set of linen or curtains/nets/blinds you did not do this week that needs doing[/STRIKE] Don't have any to do! I only have one net curtain up.. and I when it gets too manky.. I bin it and buy a new one!!
    2. [STRIKE]Deep clean mission - Clean where your Christmas tree and any other decorations are going [/STRIKE] That gets done when I do the front room
    3. [STRIKE]Check through what decorations etc you have and what needs replacong/buying/finding, check lights etc [/STRIKE] no chance.. I do that as I'm putting them on the tree
    4. Contact anyone you don't have address for for Christmas cards.. I'm sad and don't know anyone!
    5. Writing Christmas cards - see if you can spend another 10 minutes on those .. I'd love to get them all done.. but I can't find my effing notepad with them all in!!
    6. Check what else you need to buy or make for Christmas presents .. I would.. but I can't find my notepad!!
    7. [STRIKE]Spend 15 minutes sorting a hotspot of your choice[/STRIKE] Just done several... while looking for my notepad!
    8. More kids rooms flinging, come on they need space for presents so get them to help being ruthless .. they are doing them tomorrow.. or no advent calendar!! no tree and no santa!!
    9. [STRIKE]Sort through fridge and freezer, defrost the freezer if it needs it, check and see what you have in to be used up[/STRIKE] Just call my old mother hubbard..
    10. [STRIKE] Cobweb check, everywhere, those spiders are looking for somewhere warm to hide....[/STRIKE] went round with my tickler earlier in the week.

    Does that cross everything off?

    I don't usually go out until about half ten.. then I can stay out while 3am!!

    The documentary is probably the one which I watched the other day about homeless people and how many were evicted each year and got into bit of a strop about it.. think I have a whole apiary in my bonnet not just the bee!!
