    Evening all :D

    I'm not staying for long because i havn't done anything for a while so havn't had anything to say. God knows how many pages i have to catch up on in this thread :eek:

    I'll pop back tomorrow with my weekend chores :D

    Night all :beer:
  • I did a bit this morning before work, but more importantly, I bought stardrops!!!! However, as I went to the panto straight from work, the bottle is still in my office. Couldnt wait until tomorrow to try it out. There are sticky marks on my whiteboard where someone sellotaped something and its been bugging the life out of me. I used some neat stardrops and its almost away. I'll have another go tomorrow.

    Thanks for all your suggestions about the mattress. I'll give it a go on Saturday when DD stays at my mums. And I'll catch up on things I havent done as DD does her own bedroom.

    Night night xx

    Morning all

    Another wet and miserable one here today - i am so fed up of rain:mad: .

    Just catching up and looking for some motivation. DD2 at nursery until 12.30 today so got plenty of time just the energy now. DD2 slept through last night:j , DD1 came in at 5.30 and said she had had a bad dream so got into bed and did the funny noises and sighing thing to let me know there was no way she was gonna go back off:rolleyes: .

    Gonna do a list and see if that gets me flying:-

    Tidy kids room list plus sort through wardrobes
    S & S kitchen, lounge, bathroom
    Change out bed
    Hoover through
    Mop porch, bathroom & kitchen floors
    Sort through clean undies basket & pair up socks
    Put clothes away in our room
    Pop to collect DH inhalers from chemist
    Put wash in TD

    Currently waiting for kettle to boil and will find some boppy music to stick on so that my give me a kick up the bum. gonna start at 10am and do half hour blasts.
