    Yikes AnW's Mum, I got in a muddle putting in my maternity pay. All I'd say is check it again and again and ring them if you get stuck, they're really helpful. Must be horrible having to tick some of those boxes on the from.

    Got a massive pile of ironing waiting, might do that while DS naps.

    Just had lunch and going to have a break from it for now. The knock on effect is that this desk is getting tidied as well as I know there are some bank statements/receipts on here that I need to enter!

    Going to play suduko with A for a little while. They are both being really good while I have concentrated on this. Thanks for all the hugs and thoughts, it really helps :)

    Afternoon lovlies, I feel so much better for an hour or so in the garden.

    AnW'sMum you will feel good when it is done hun. I know how hard it is from when I have to do all the trust returns from Dad's estate but take it from me it is harder emotionally putting it off than doing it for at least you get to breath a bit more freely once it is done. They are great if you need to ring them - use the sayno website to find a free/cheap number.

    Got to ring mum in a minute to go and get DS3. OH is trying to work out what is wrong with his car.

    This evening I have a mountain of ironing to look forward to.

    Been to look for flooring - decided on the laminate that looks like tiles!

    Only as the kitchen is so big it is more expensive than we thought so will have to reasses the finances if we want it doing!

    Done HHI and put it away, having a chill now whilst LO sleeps and OH watches football - think I will enter a few comps on here - could really do with a win!

    Hugs LIlme and Anw xx

    And slow down Michelle!!

  • Waves to you all.

    We now have a new room to sleep in tonight, and it is fab - no junk, shame it hasn't got the wardrobes in ready to do it properly. And for those of you worried about me, please don't as DH is doing most of it while i sort out charlie, so i promise with girl scout honour that i am not overdoing it - unless you count the speed my brain is churning at to get things organised in my head. :rotfl: DH has gone out, and i think he is probably greatful for a rest as i haven't let him sit down all day. ;) Charlie is asleep, so i suppose the school work should be next priority.


    OK - achieved:
    • washing up from last night and this morning - DH
    • WM emptied from yesterday and hung on airer - me
    • kitchen sink and drainer cleaned - DH
    • my weights and exercise bike moved from spare room to garage - DH
    • our bed stripped, and bedding washed, now in TD - me
    • curtain for hall to cover door found out and washed - how many months late - me
    • spare room demolished - DH
    • our bed dismantled, cleaned and moved into spare room - DH
    • spare bed moved into our room - DH
    • spare room (now our room) fully hoovered in every nook and cranny, mould patch around window found and dealt with - DH
    • emptied window sill in spare room of crud - discovered it was bleached by sun - DH
    • window sill sanded ready to gloss next time the gloss paint out, and also then cleaned - DH
    • bed assembled in new room - DH
    • all had lunch - made by me
    • next 2 loads for WM found - me
    • DH gone to negotiate price of shop fittings for work
    • DH to get me some shampoo from boots while out, and possibly a new airer for me, and also the new bit of kitchen bench
    still to do:
    • cut charlie's hair with clippers - both
    • make salmon with salad and potato wedges for dinner - me
    • my lesson plans for tomorrow - me
    • mark my y8 books - me
    • do some ironing - me
    • [STRIKE]bath charlie - probably me, but DH if not too tired[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]hang curtain over bannister upstairs - both[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]WM - load of my stuff that is TD-able[/STRIKE]
    • [STRIKE]then put next load in machine so it is not on the bedroom floor[/STRIKE]
    • get DH to put my bag of material and the huge fleecy throw in the loft for me
    • get DH to tuck the edge of lino in the bathroom that is loose back under the bath
    • evening kitchen sort
    • pack bags ready for tomorrow
    anw's mum - keep plodding - you will get there really soon.

    pigpen -come on - you have proved you can do the ebay listing so many times. DH has just listed a load of stuff for work that they were going to bin, and it has over 1000 worth of bids on it. clear the house clear the mind.

    Anyway, WM stopped so i am going to do a bit of a shuffle, flick the kettle on again and break open the work. Don't wan't to, but only 7 more weekends with it to hang over me. ;)

    Michelle, x
