Pigpen - that's not overdressed it's lovely. Think we'll put ours up tomorrow.

I'm going to have a quick tidy up and then going to bed. Need sleep desperately! Have a nice evening. See you in the morning xx

Right, I'm done for the evening now too. Second half hour challenge I cleaned the bathroom, did my tea dishes, put my lunch together for the morning and that's it.
I'm in the mood for an early night with a book after I've checked out Facebook and made a call.
Night night.

Sorted through shampoo bottles (several more for the recycle bin:D )
Scrubbed sink
Put shower head in bag of white vinegar to soak
Taken dry clothes off airer
Put washing on airer
General tidy in lounge
Made a hot choc and drank whilst doing above
Emptied bin

So I now need to wrap DH secret santa present for him to take to work tomorrow and should start the ironing. My head is suddenly spinning with all the stuff i wanted to get done this week and havent, I am sure someone fast forwarded a day.

Tomorrow I need to do a load of baking, make up pizzas for freezer, have driving lesson, go to post office and building society, make up garlic breads for freezer, start wrapping presents, write chrsitmas cards, do the kids room:eek: , ironing. OK deep breaths.......... Right off to do what I need to tonight and worry about the rest tomorrow.

I have squished the cats head again.. it is SO close to his eye.. poor mog!! It makes a lovely squelchy noise when it is being cleaned though.. but he always needs a nice hug after I've finished thoguh and I won't let him go until he is purring and happy again. If it is still like this on Saturday I'll whip him to the vet I think.. it isn't nice.. and it stinks.. and has big lumps of puss in the runny goo.. that's graphic.. sorry..

Evening

Have only done the dailies today as had a busy day at work then came home late after going via dads and then took DD into town late night shopping for something to wear for my work Chrimbo meal out tomorrow night.

Saga over car repair continues
Garage we got it from has agreed to order parts and pay labour but when the box of parts arrived today the essential pump was missing even though it was on the invoice, so now arguing between themselves over where it is. Have spoken to trading standards who say he HAS to repair, replace like for like or refund, within a reasonable time, and no we're not entitled to a hire car. SO I've had to borrow my dads car to get to work on time tomorrow and then go out tomorrow night but I have to get it back to him by 7am on Saturday morning. He was so funny explaining everything to me. 'Now you do realise its a bl00dy powerful engine dont you and if you use the kick down its like a rocket going off'. 'Yes dad dont worry I'll drive it like you do - like an old man'. Does he think I'm mad he is just about the most chauvanistic person you can get when it comes to women drivers and its my DADS car, like I'm really gonna go mad on the little narrow country roads round here in a 4.2 jag!!!!! Just thinking if he's so chauvanistic why has he added me on his insurance and not my 2 brothers . Hoping I get my own car back by Monday as if not I wont be able to finish early and see DD's carol concert, or work late for my conference booking on Tuesday which means I cant then have Thursday off after OH's work meal Wed night.

Anyway will have to do BIG flying over the weekend as mother (think pavarotti - alive! crossed with a dragon. love her dearly really) is coming to babysit Wed night and will have to sleep in the junk room !!! bedroom.

Got clothes to sort out to go out straight from work tomorrow night and secret santa pressies to wrap.
