Only been up for about half and hour, It is soo cold here I didnt want to get out of bed.

Back to work tonight after 9 days off...Its so not fair I really wished I booked this week off too.

Things to do today:
Get showered
Get DS washed and dressed
Get the WM on (3 loads)
Prepare dinner
Hoover all through..DH didn get round to doing it yesterday :rolleyes:
Go and view 2 houses later ..I really hope I like one of them as I need a bigger garden!

Not really got much to do today as done most of the cleaning before going to bed last night.

Was going to walk the dog but sent DH instead as it is too cold.

Right I am going to go and drink my cuppa then make a start

Hope everyone has a great day

Morning, happy birthday for your DD juliejim. Its my little monkeys birthday too! I dont think we planned them very well:o Although she was actually due on boxing day:D I cant believe she's 4, where does the time go Dont know how much flying i'll get done, we are off to the zoo as a birthday treat. Feel like a bad mummy as we dont actually have a present for her. She got sooooo much for christmas that she doesnt need anything right now. Going to take her to the zoo shop and let her choose a cuddly or something:p Will have a quick s&s before we go.

On the other hand, maybe we wont go anywhere as DD just threw up all over the floor:rotfl:

Well i am up and have done stuff. Scuppered myself a bit though with wet cot bedding, and then falling down half of the stairs, luckily on my bum which is well padded. Shame i was carrying charlie at the time though as i landed partly on his leg too. however, both sustained only bruises so we are being brave soldiers. :rolleyes: I have however thrown out my silly slippers which i have nearly fell in a few times, and got out the grannified ones my MIL bought me. Much safer, and i can't really afford any accidents.

lil-me thanks for the kind things you were saying in your new years eve post. We all help each other through here, and i trust you lot more than some of my real friends too. Glad the feeling is reciprocated.

window shopper thanks for commenting on my post. It gave me a smile and a bit of encouragement this morning when i was finding it a bit harder to get started. It was two of us getting stuff done, and we have the added pressure of me being 22 weeks pregnant and not having done much to prepare as yet.

Hope you all have a good day. I have had a look at Moggins household manual thread and made myself one in an attempt to be more organised with paperwork, appointments and cleaning
