    Morning everyone,:santa2:

    Never managed to get to tesco last night or this morning as DS1 throwing up, he had a bit ofg cereal this morning but it came back up again straight away so he's on the sofa with a blanket and a basin.

    Hubby is feeling sick but not as bad, he couldn't keep his meds down yesterday but hopefully today he will, if he misses them for 3days or more then they need built up again and he could end up in hospital again.

    Todays list is
    1)kitchen floor brushed and moped
    2)fridge cleaned
    3)washing finished
    4)bike built
    5)tesco shop
    6)wrap rest of pressies
    7)brush and mop bathroom floor
    8)sort clothes in our room
    9)hoover and dust our room
    10)lite fire for bathes tonight
    11)clean out car and wash
    12)sort through toys to make room for new ones
    13)hoover livingroom, toyroom and hall
    14)clean windows inside and out
    15)sweep out the front of house
    16)sort clothes out for tomorrow
    17)look and see how many batteries i need
    18)clean oven
    19)sort all washing in utility room
    20)relax with a hot chocolate and get to bed earlylaughing-smiley-014.gif
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Humph! My order from Rangers Megastore has not arrived yet, !!!!!!s! Sent a cheeky email. So now i have nothing for hubbys Uncle, who is very good at taking DS2, hence the nice present from the Rangers shop.

    So, as tomorrow is my first Christmas dinner that I have to make, what do I do?? My mummy has said I can take the bird over and she will separate the breasts and stuff em!

    Should I do a list?

    S&S Bathroom, empty bin
    S&S My bedroom, get rid of few toys
    S&S Kids room, put toys away
    Hoover stairs
    Tidy hall
    Clean kitchen door (glass)
    Clean and moisturise sofa's
    Hoover floor
    Mop floor
    Polish and dust and tidy
    WM and TD as many times as needed.


    Wrap kids presents

    Prep wee sausages
    Peel and par boil tatties for roasties
    get veg out of freezer (ready to be roasted) and soup
    Learn how to make trifle and make said trifle

    I have been sneezing for the past 15 mins! Must stop before I start doing my list. . Think I'm allergic to Doing Christmas By Myself.

    Funnily enough, DS1 was a little bit sick this morning. Usually I put it down to him getting up at 6am and having a good hour and a half unsupervised downstairs, he gets himself his breakfast (bless him, he is only 6, I do feel bad) then helps himself to biscuits. But he didn't have any. Think the milk may have been on the turn, though DS2 had it in cereal too and was fine....

    Managing to cross things of the to do list, heading out to deliver a couple of pressies to firends, kitchen cleaned oven soaking, and.........kids have decluttered, dusted and hoovered their own bedrooms without being asked tooo often - I think the threat that santa doesn't deliver to messy bedrooms has done the trick.

    vanilla - hope your house are feeling okay, its only today that I feel like eating again
    pigpen - hope you bug doesn't spread to the rest of you - keep topping up on the drink fingers crossed that works!!

    My turkey is cooked now, looks good. Got one half hidden in the cupboard and the other half in the microwave while it cools (cats are on patrol).

    Wrapped bacon round sausages and put them on a tray covered with foil in the fridge for tomorrow.

    Thank you for waking me up :rotfl: you were right, it was only when I turned over I heard the 3 alarms I set :o , had to go straight out near enough as managed to get in at the doctors, I was there nearly an hour, definate water infection so got ABs for that, more pain killers for ear & decongestant stuff, all that on top of what I take already, so I better be careful playing Santa tonight as me rattling might wake the kids up :rotfl:

    **passes pigpen spare pain relief, take your pick** walking pharmacy here, got some good stuff in there :rotfl: hope the pain killers are helping.

    jjef, make sure you get onto them to make sure it's added to the total.

    Here's mine, it did eventually show, this doesn't include the 2 orders on the 13th

    :o ooops. I have a big box steadily getting fuller with each delivery of cleaning stuff and another for toiletries :rotfl:

    Dogs groomed, soappie I have 2 inc a German Shepherd, grooming is I find the only way to reduce the vacuuming, she got done proffessionally in September then I brush frequently, at least once a week I do a good comb through and can get a carrier bag full of hair easily. We used to call vacuuming 'removing the extra Megan' but it's not as bad now, only fill the vacuum bucket every 3 days instead of daily!

    Right, Wilkos first order arrived, I am not impressed with courier or order. We didn't know it had arrived as was dumped on the drive, noone knocked, round the corner where we can't see, no card or anything. The food stuff and cleaning stuff all in together, I have just threw the salt out as it was coated in stardrops. I'll be having a rant at them on Thursday. I mean it's common sense not to put food with cleaning stuff, there were 2 boxes full of stuff so it could have gone seperate.

    DP gone to the model shop, I'll be off to Tesco when he gets back, dreading the queues.

    Coffee first!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
