    Good morning everyone. Hope you are all well.

    Pigpen, thanks for sharing those. The children have changed so much since last year, especially tiddles!

    Can't start much on my upstairs list yet as DP is still in bed. I do have some things to do downstairs, I've just put all of the boys things from the sitting room in a box for them to deal with, first washer load is on, been loading up the dishwasher and think I will do the kitchen next....ok what's left for me to do

    [STRIKE] Level 2 at least from list
    Clean windows in the bedroom, make sure you wipe the sill too
    Check through and organise a drawer[/STRIKE] need to order some scaffy bars
    [STRIKE] Vacuum through downstairs
    Clean out that vacuum cleaner, make sure it's not clogged up with hair/fluff. Clean the filters[/STRIKE] yak!!!
    Sort through another unpacking box
    Bathroom
    [STRIKE]& kitchen S&S[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE] Other dailies (meals, poop patrol, laundry etc) [/STRIKE]apart from our dinner but DP has naffed off out

    Then any spare time will be spent in DS1s room because my Mam has offered to babysit so me and DP can go out for the first time in ages, but needs to stay over and at the minute we can't even get the bed out in his room!

    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Thank you bebee! & Lil_me DS2 is REALLY pleased he has £30.. it is ALL he is talking about!

    I have a nail appointment at 11am.. so.. I am going to whizz over my bedroom right quick and hopefully the bed sheets will be in the dryer before I go out!.. I can but try!!

    I have need of a massive fling over the downstairs! I am feeling the need to lose a bit of lard as well.. I'm not very happy at being a large thing.. so.. you may start to see the introduction of the 30 minute exercise very soon.. see.. I said it and didn't explode, implode or spontaneously combust!! Cool!!

    Anyway.. running.. in... --> that direction... no <--- that direction... no.. over there ---> .... argh!! where do I start??

    and dusty is the younger :smiley:, neurotic :huh: , greener :starmod: twin who is much more sensible with money:p

    We do both have PMT at slightly different times.

    Well I did tell you not to paint your bedroom green or you'd get covered in it! :rotfl: and you're only better with money because you don't spend as much on rubbish! :D

    hoovered bedroom floor

    My kitchen/living room/hallway floors desperately need cleaning (hands and knees jobby) but I'm not doing them today, I'll have good hair this afternoon and don't want to ruin it by sweating in it urgh!

    Waiting for Tesco Direct delivery today also but OH is coming round to sit whilst I'm at the hairdressers. Going to take DD1 down to hand in a CV at a solicitors? accountants? architects? it didn't say what it was but it's on the road where all them type of businesses are, so fingers crossed for her. Oh and if I've got time I want to join the library, does anyone know what I.D. type stuff I'll need to take?

    Morning!!! Sorry I haven't read back much, but hugs :grouphug: I do think about you all!!

    In a sad mood at the moment, can't tell you any details, promised DD1 I wouldn't tell anyone, no one tells you how you can hurt for your children.

    I need to get stuck in before I sit here wallowing in grief and the whole house needs doing.. The rug is covered in a thick layer of Golden Retriever hair, not an attractive look..

    hi ho, hi ho, it's off to tackle the mess I go......:wave:
