    rach it's too late to be kicking anyone, but if you insist **big kick for rach** I should kick myself to bed actually, DP snoozing on the sofa next to me so will need to get him up first. :o

    Can't find a skyone+1 so I'll end up staying up because Robin Hood Men in Tights is on :rotfl: love this film

    tonights update will read as cleaned the kitchen floor but the oven has not been touched and didn't managed any of lil-me's extras but did finish the christmas shopping today and I have updated my tesco order for friday from the cupboard/freezer check, so all in all not a bad day.

    Will check the list for tomorrow but will sneak in with a head start as for some reason - unknown to me- oh and kids started to declutter and polish the living room tonight without being asked or shouted at, maybe the christmas spirit is finally getting them!!!

    - not having it here! :D
    Level Two

    Clean floors
    Sort fridge bringing what needs using soon to the front, wipe any spills


    have gone through clothes in wardrobe and sorted out what i need for the next few weeks, everything else can be packed. things like tops and underwear are in drawers which shouldn't need packing so that's a bonus. just going to double check the list of stuff to pack, which i think is just about done :) just hope some people turn up to help me pack
