.. where art thou??????? You have been absent since 10am!!!!!! Hope all is ok my lovely.. don't want you running out on us you know!!

Sorry, I am here, better late than never was busy doing housework all day, I got loads done by banning myself off the PC. Planned to post before we went out then my Dad arrived, then when we got home the laptop charger wouldn't work, well I thought it wouldn't, until I noticed it wasn't switched on at the plug :rotfl::odoh!!! So apart from DSs being little !!!!!!!! for some reason, all is dandy, but thanks for asking

Posted tomorrows delights, will try and read through now, but I am sat here yawning my head off

Kaz what about a rail or one of those cloth covered wardrobes, they come in quite small parts. We salvaged one the owner of this house had destined for the tip (went to Matthew's Mam) and that was in small pieces.

Anyone looking for a new noonoo I seen the Sainsbury's sale advert which had £100 off a Dyson. I used to be a Dyson hater after having an 02 and 01 then I got my 07 animal and I love it!!!! I'll willingly pay the service fee to get them to repair it when it breaks. :rotfl: wonder if Mr Dyson actually listened when my partner slatted them in front of him by accident.

I think I've got 3 rails in various places (thinking about it one is full of empty coat hangars) and they still look rubbish, but its no excuse really. The room never got finished when the builders went waaaay over budget so I have no radiator only a carpy leccy heater, I've never finished painting it, occasionally I go up there clear a corner and paint half a wall or half a skirting, no carpet and just rubbish, clothes, boxes and junk everywhere, BUT I have a huge roll of binbags and I'm going for a fling tomorrow

So after spend a half hour reading all the latest posts, I decided to do a HHC, too!

Did it in the master bedroom. Half hour turned into an hour

Here is what I achieved:

Wonderful Wednesdays - Master Bedroom
Dust surfaces & make sure no cobwebs..
15 minutes floordrobe clearance
Sort one area of clothes or linen storage making sure only what should be in there is, anything that's had it's day or doesn't belong there is removed
Clear a hotspot., or spend 15 minutes clearing one.
Extra tasks list, as usual choose one or more:

• 27 fling boogie time, time for that midweek fling, go on grab a bag and clear that clutter
• Clean windows in these rooms
• Clean tops of wardrobes and drawers (if safe to do so, no pregnant flyladies on ladders please delegate the job instead)
  
• Check through undies drawers, anything more holy than the church which needs to go/be repaired? Anyone need anything replacing?

I went through my whole duchess, tossed stuff from the drawers and from the cupboard in the middle of it. Tidied off the top of it and put a different storage container on there for my makeup, work badge, pad and pen, earrings etc - just one container for everything
Sorted out Christmas and pressie containers, cleared top shelf in wardrobe, went through clothes and organised the trolley I use for shoes.

Didn't vacuum - still not got the new hose for mine yet.

Ended up with three full rubbish bags, and one bag to give away.

This morning spent lots of money - bought DS3 new school uniform, new shoes and a hair cut. Off now to take DS4 for a hair cut, too. Don't think I want to try and balance my dollars today!

DS4's hair now relatively short - have done my budgetting - ugh!!

Morning all!

After our bedroom marathon (giggle giggle) of cleaning yesterday, DH and I are left to deal with the post-declutter detritis. Still lots to go on ebay, I tried to take pictures last night, but they looked dreadful, so I'll take some in daylight today and hope that they come out looking better. Edit: or I may have to admit that they just look like carp!

Hope you're all well today. DS has woken up in the most frightfully grouchy mood today. As has DH as he's going aroung the employment agencies today. It's just fun, fun, fun living with these two at the minute!

It now sounds as if little girl has a cob on now, too. I'm trying not to join them in the self-pity fest, but my resolve is weakening as they whinge and moan. I might just break out the emergency sweeties and get everybody buzzed on caffeine and e-numbers!

Will be back soon to reply to others, x

Morning :wave:

Happy Birthday LJ's DS :bdaycake:

Ladies: I am not repeat not going for coffee with this guy, looking at his profile it says he's in a relationship, so !!!!!!'s he doing asking me out? :rolleyes:

*yawn* Got a shock last night when I went to bed, I forgot I'd accidentally locked the window in the open position so it was just pushed to, well what with the gales and all it was like Syberia in there and didn't have the key to unlock it again :rolleyes: didn't get off to sleep till 2am then was woke with a big crash as the wind flung open my window and it took my blind with it, so went downstairs and tried to squeeze onto the tiny two seeter, so had about two hours kip :rolleyes: and after all that DD1 informs me this morning she put the keys in my bag :rolleyes:

Found out last night that DIL was in hospital over the weekend :eek: she hasn't kept anything down since Christmas, she's dehydrated, she's lost too much weight and she has a water infection She's waiting for an appointment for the scan - please let everything be ok I'm a little bit miffed/hurt that DS didn't think to inform me however, DIL mam will have been.

Anyway, there's absolutely nothing that needs doing in my bedroom so gonna decide later what I want to do. S&S'd the kitchen and loaded the DW last night after I'd found out about DIL (stress makes me clean it seems) so that's spotless too.

tracyg

Just done a post with my list but lost it. Battery dying on laptop so will have to be quick.

Just wanted to say to Embb thinking of you today, lots of positive thoughts for the scan, sure everything will be fine. As for not letting you know, men don't always think like that. Hugs xx

Scary Wednesday!! The wind is blowing 100mph here, bridges closed, no buses or trains, trees falling over.. Not good.

Oh well, good day to stay indoors, apart from school run, Have Asda delivery this morning, hopefully they won't cancel because of the weather :eek:

DD2 got braces fitted yesterday, poor thing, full mouth of metal, for only 2 mishaved molars.. She is in pain, but did go to school.

Hope you are all ok and having a good day.

Master bedroom, ok if I must, Not as bad as last week.. :wave:
