    Looks lovely embb :)

    Washing all dry, folded and put away. Just in time I think, the sky has gone black although it's not supposed to rain today. I don't think the weather watches the forecast....
  • Yay it worked!! Thanks Embb - very envious of your tree, mine always looks an unco-ordinated jumble!

    Gone very dark here think its about to pour!

    Lovely tree Emmb, and your floor is so shiny! is it real wood or laminate?

    Got DS1 finishing my tree off with jive bunny playing on the xbox 360 and some funky effects on the huge telly...

    DS2 has a tiny tree to decorate too! (spelled that desecrate there...hmmm) :rolleyes:

    Kitchen needs a de-clutter, badly, so may nip and do that if they don't start fighting.

    Have to do living room tonight as Shades blinds are coming tomorrow morning (OMG they are so going to rip us off but hubby REFUSES to put any blinds up)

    Emmb - Tree looks fab (as does your shiny shiny floor)

    Pigpen - I prefer the word frog to "snot", as she told me this morning walking down the high street "mummy I have snotted all over my trousers", just as I was popping into work too:rolleyes: . Also have you decided on a dress yet??

    Tia - thanks for the tip re the oven racks, will give it a go next time:D Also if you request a home visit from Hilarys blinds via quidco you get paid £20.

    Well tidied up feathers in lounge, looked like some rainforest bird have been savaged by a cat! Kitchen done the whole list (just going to soak WM draw in bleach solution). It feels really nice to know its deep down clean from top to bottom.

    Also did the M&S parcel up and posted back too as well as DH discs so another 2 jobs of the list.

    Littley has fallen asleep in buggy on way home (will wake her in a mo as she will not sleep tonight) and DD1 is writing xmas cards to her friends with carols playing in the background. Just gonna grab a coffee and have a quick tidy in my room as become a bit of a dumping ground, plus have couple of items to send back to tesco that need parcelling up. Waiting for Mr T to arrive whats the betting its 5 mins to 6 when he turns up:rolleyes: .

    OH NO!

    Wonder if I can cancel Hilarys and request another one via Quidco?? :mad:

    Was in too big a rush to check.. actually hubby was sitting at the PC with me so that's why. Bloomin man, all his fault!

    Mleh, requested one through Quidco, if they phone i will say I didn't know I could get cashback (hilarys look better than shades anyway) and will bribe them to put the quidco one through if i buy from them.

    :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Just been out to get the towels in - they were almost dry - just finishing them in the TD. Starting to spot with rain now and has turned cold and grey - did you send your weather my way?

    See knew the cursing would work, anyone else need cursing while I am on :rotfl: sorry

    Embb lovely tree :D I haven't wrapped any presents either! Hope your daughter is ok. Maybe little one playing up to get attention? If they know someone else is coming then they can be weee monsters, or at least I know my 2 can...

    Kitchen much better, cloths hot wash now on, I think all I have done today is laundry, got a basket of dry stuff to put away, need to upset the boys later and get them to pack away the trainset in DS2s room so I can sort some space to get the bed out for my mam at the weekend, that will go down like a lead balloon!

    Hows everyone else getting on, hope the new members haven't given up already....
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
