Ok pigpen HHE tomorrow at 10.30, gives me 15 mins to jump in and out the shower before collecting DD2 from nursery. See I will take control of my life:j .

DD1 friend coming over for tea on Friday - arranged
Washing in (just needs ironing now:rolleyes: )
Littles last lot of ironing put away
Chicken out of freezer for tomorrows roast

Tonights list

BM on for making bread rolls
Bath littles & usual bedtime routine
Quick tidy in our bedroom DONE
Tidy girls room DONE
S & S Kitchen DONE (floor swept too)
HHI
Start meal plan for next month (work out whats in freezer first ) & do shopping list
Wash hair

Sure there was something else I needed to do but brain gone dead.

Brats are trying to suck the life out of me at the moment. Started typing this nearly an hour ago and I have been doing time-outs since. They are determined to wind each other up:mad: . Still tidied their bedroom with DD1 when she was trying to be perfect so DD2 looked worse, and then my room when DD2 was being perfect so DD1 looked horrible. Tea now on the go then bath then stories and night-nights:D . Still at least I used some of negative energy to get some jobs done;)

Hi everyone,

Hugs to those with kids/school issues and also to those down in the dumps about weight/diets. I am one of those lucky sods whose weight never seems to change that much and I can eat what I like. Although after the events of June 2006 (can't believe it was that long ago already ) for weeks I know I just survived on toast and snacks and that was when I remembered to eat. Always made sure the kids were fed properly but couldn't be bothered for myself. I have always tended to eat when I am hungry and if I'm not then I don't!

Still having connection problems here but trying not to get too stressed about it all.

Forget the HHE, I'm getting plenty of exercise moving my furniture around to hoover it!! Got mum coming down in a couple of weeks so need the house up to her standards :rolleyes:

Just having a cuppa before doing the fish tank, anyone know if the dirty water is good for plants? I'd think the plants would love the fish poo?

So long as you haven't used any treatments or added salt.

Well, documents reviewed.

Why is it that you can have two sets of documents - one written perfectly and containing all the information you require yet the other is just so ridiculously sparse of anything useful it's hardly worth turning the cover?

Guess which one will get the gold star when I report in tomorrow morning and which will be sent back to the author with a note saying "needs work"

Off to start the dinner now and prepare the stew for tomorrow.

I will join you pigpen for the HHE, mine might not last as long as that but I will try. DD will be at home so can clear me a way through the rubbish in the play room to the exercise bike.

What can we call the play room now that kids don't play in there any more? Any ideas?

Hugs JillD, sounds like you are having one of those days.
