bebee thanks, welcome back, baby steps remember, you'll get back into it in no time.

Pink Fary well done, don't worry we all have days off sometimes, it'll all come back round next week, how about flicking the vacuum cleaner round the sitting room when you have done the kitchen in the morning, then that is level 1 done? It'll take you 3 extra minutes max to do where you can see *guess work as I can do the whole of downstairs quickly in under 5** . Just an idea, feel free to tell me to p*ss off and mind my own business because I am a bossy boots .

Kids have just gone to bed, so much for 'oh it's not that long it'll be finished by 8pm!' he says, I flippin' knew it wouldn't!!!! Well I haven't started his tea he can naff off!

**mutters to self and stomps back out**

Not at all.I'm hoping to have the time to zip round downstairs with vac but I've got a sunlounge, a den, a shower room and a bedroom downstairs, so need a half hour minimum!!! Not boasting about space. We were really lucky with this house. We sold a 3 bed mid terrace in North Somerset and got a 3 bed end terrace in Wales with a purpose built disabled extension for less money. We've been here three years yesterday and it's the best thing we did as far as DS is concerned. The den is mostly his lounge with Playstation, dvds etc, so his bedroom is only for sleeping. DD has downstairs bedroom as she's not home all the time. DS has upstairs in case he needs anything at night, and we have the luxury of having a study in the smallest bedroom upstairs, again so he doesn't have PC in his room. (Paediatrician's recommendations). We've been so lucky, but it does mean extra housework for me, which is why I needed your help to get back on track. You're all stars and my new best friends! :beer:

Okay managing to catch up with the thread.

embb good news about your DIL I was hospitalised with both of mine, the first I stopped being sick at thirteen weeks and the second at twelve with both I just woke up one morning and felt hungry, I was told that its a healthy sign and although you don't feel great its one way on knowing that all is okay.

ljd1 good luck with the interview tomorrow.

Will give everyone with kids a giggle, my delightful 5 year old went to school today with no knickers!!! she only realised when she was getting changed for gym and apparently crossed the class room to tell her teacher with only her vest on, when I went to collect her, her teacher couldn't tell me at first for laughing. The wee soul is quite proud of herself instead of being embarassed its Oh who is embarassed as he helped her get dressed this morning.:D

Anyway my list for tomorrow which I will do once home from work -

Hi everyone. I've been lurking round here for a while. Not actually done anything about it though really. Never got any time, and when I have a bit of time I feel I coulds never achieve as much as you all do!!! I was reading something about stardrops being absolutely fantastic stuff on the website somewhere. So I bought some tonight 75p for a 600ml bottle of stardrops concentrated. So... can I clean almost everything with it? surfaces? gas cooker? floors etc??? I hope to make a proper start later in week, will have to juggle it round work etc.

Off to make sarnies and have a bath. Night night all, sleep well.
