    Morning all

    Well done Lil_Me - that's a fantastic amount - you have every right to feel dead chuffed! :T

    Looking at my long list, I think I'll make it neater by starting with the odd ones lurking in the mass of crossed off ones.

    My target, therefore, this morning is to:
    • Tidy ebaying stuff in front room into a neat pile (do NOT put back in loft)
    • Clean kitchen windows (no mean feat - there are 5 of them!)
    • Clean bathroom
    I ought to point out that when I say 'clean' something, I'm meaning deep clean.
    I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

    Morning all, thanks, I'm still in happy mode from last night even if I've had no sleep. Ear is going crackers, have phoned the doctors and got an appointment for 9.20am so will have to get DP up to watch DS2.

    Happy Birthday Mimi :D 7 is such a wonderful age, in between innocent and thinking they are a teenager usually, my neice was always 7 going on 17.....

    Pigpen, how cheeky of him questioning your moneysaving skills, sheesh!

    Right, off to get DS1 ready for school (he won't want to go because DS2 isn't) ttfn :)
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I have woken up with the worst indigestion.. probably caused by the coughing I've been doing all blooming night!! 2 rennies, a throat lozenge and a cuppa later it still persists.. more renies methinks!!

    Mimi has a birthdya cake to take to school for her birthday though it is the christmas party today I said it is her birthday party lol.. she is quite happy to go along with that one too which is amusing.. and she is 7 going on 25.. oh no!!!... She is 7 and STILL in nappies of bed.. now the school nurse will really be off on one! lol Whatever shall I do?? Oh my!!! I best stay up all night to wee her 4000 times every night!!! or I could wash her and 3 bed sheets every day!! One of my uncles is 47 and still wets the bed occasionally.. I'm not holding out much hope for her at 7!

    urgh... more rennies I think are in order.. and then I may look at the list for today...

    ok looked at it.. ignored it.. and had a cuppa!

    Good Luck Tinselfairy x

    Well already this morning I've had my card declined by Valueflora for absolutely no reason - oh well. and teenie lied to me about the £5 change he's supposed to give me back, he hasn't he's spent it - said he'd left it on the stairs though and went out, well, that's £10 he wont be getting spent on him for xmas so he can please himself, he'll get a right rollocking when he comes in though.

    Got my £10 Boots voucher from Pigsback yesterday so me and DD1 are off into town to spend it lol will post a list later

    Morning

    Was not too happy when dear sweet OH brought me a cuppa tea at 5.45 - uuuugh bless him, just coz he had to go to work! So I've been up showered, 3 mugs of tea so far, car defrosted and DD, jam, shortbread xmas trees, and pressies all delivered to school. Now stripping the sofa cushions from the living room pit to load into the WM having emptied WM and TD. Hope to get LR done quickly so I can go over to work to see the girls as will be the last day everyone is working together. Need to wrap a couple of pressied before I go.

    Happy Birthday Mimi - have a great day (I'm still with you pigpen on the sore throat feels like I'm swallowing needles)

    Hope ear gets better soon lil_me, ear pain is second only to toothache.

    Well done soappie - your list looks so much better than mine does

    Have a great day everyone
