Hi

Today we have managed to do quite alot!! We have:

Washload & put on airer
Emptied a drawer of paperwork
DW on and emptied
OH has done some filing of the walls
Half of the kitchen inside cupboard doors have been sprayed and wiped down
Changed the paper on top of the kitchen units (do this twice a year so they dont need scrubbing down too much)
Washing & Ironing put away

Tomorrow the cleaner is here so 2 loads of washing as bedding gets changed weekly, plus I have 1 load already to be done. Beds will need to be stripped in the morning, but apart from that nothing much:D Might try and do the rest of the inside kitchen doors

I would send one to Bro and kids and one to SIL and kids. I tend to do that so even if the kids aren't living with one party full time then at least they feel you still count them as a family - if that makes any sense!

Actually finding the flying a bit demoralising as I am always playing catch up - need a rethink. I do fine Monday. Am too busy Tuesday, try to catch up Wednesday - get fed up with it and it goes down hill from there on. I know it all comes around again but the trouble is it all gets missed again here!

Nooo - thats me not you.

Last night I actually watched some telly for 2 whole hours - ME TIME, Then I managed to dust the middle room while waiting for Mr T delivery. Other than the dailies that was it.

Tonight when I came in from work DD was in the kitchen with her pinny on and recipe book with the electric mixer whirring round :eek: . Of course she knew it all until I discovered she'd put the top oven on instead of the main one, so all my stored tins were so so hot.

Still the cookies were gorgeous theres only 4 left out of about 20.

So I have managed to clean up the aftermath and straightened the dining room but of course I'm suffering from tia's lazyarsitis now, so need some of shells medicinal chocolate. My loft is crammed with 20 years worth of different colored xmas decs that I cant get rid of so you're not alone pigpen and your boys are gorgeous, is the biggest one, the one you have all the trouble with. I think that'll be only the start of your probs with looks like that :rotfl: . And thanks for solving the mystery card from Aimee (thank you), I couldnt work out why my friend Amy had changed the spelling of her name and what was she doing in Swindon .

I think that because we have SOOOOO much stress at the moment I am just trying to chill about everything, so if the house is messy at the mo - so what - at least no ones dying.

I think its time I called a cyber party _party_ _party_ lets all have a drink and a chillout :beer: . So another big thank you to you all for the laughs hugs silly name games and support - I'm

Crabbyfrown Jerkynose

And a small reason to celebrate, had a letter from LTSB they are repaying my CC charges IN FULL with interest before I did my moneyclaim online. Another £210 on its way so the drinks are on me tonight


PS I love the Secret Millionaire - its so moving
