Ok livingroom done and the kids were blackmailed into doing their rooms so just need to hoover in there.

Now time for a cuppa and then kitchen so that i can make dinner later:rotfl:
Blue washing basket full of clean dry clothes so just need to fold and put away, only have 2 more loads of washing to do and the dirty clothes washing basket will be empty:j think i'll do all bed sheets then.

I hate getting my eyebrows done, i always jump and no matter how much make up is put on to cover the redness it never does. I look like someone tryed to tango me but didn't get the job finished.:rotfl:

rumbly, lots of congratulations on exchanging, you must be getting really excited now.
shell. I second what Tia said about the dress, where the one you wore at Christmas especially if it made you feel good. And on eyebrows I'd go for plucking every time now as last wax I had they pulled some skin off my eyelid and I looked like I'd been attacked.

Dusty, I am the one in this house who attracts wierdos, in supermarkets strange peole come up to me and talk to me for no apparent reason. And then I can't get away as they follow me. It was my b'day last week too, I am an Aquarian.
Last time I was in Mr Ts a man and his wife stopped me and talked to me for ages about shop lifting and how they used to be store detectives.

Dog damage today is
one curtain
two cushions
one pillow protector
one slipper
two socks from different pairs
a rug
my breakfast
my lunch
my gloves
a king size sheet-sorry the dog is really getting to me today, yesterday he was so good I think he is making up for it today.

DS3 has taken the beast for a walk now to try to tire him out. I am tired out and have given him 6 pee walks today already. Second load is in the machine and mattress protector is on line, freezing!

Hiya
Still done nothing! Jill I forgot to say we have a 12 footer and it's great as the children can go on it in the winter even if the garden is too wet.

Need to get children, drop car at garage and take dog to vet. Stereo fitted in car and looks and sounds fab. Need to hide it from DH when he comes home tomorrow night. Thank goodness I only have to hide it till Friday. Be back in a bit and will do flying xx

Big eyebrows are in!

It says so in Look!!!

Well, bold eye brows anyway. But they all pretty thick and chunky so the salon shouldn't do penciled in effect as its so season before last! :rotfl:

Got the sprogs, DS1 has lost his first tooth! It's in my bag waiting on bedtime and the tooth fairy! *sniff* he is growing up....

Afternoon :j

I hope you're all well
Had a quick read back......... you are all soooooo busy!
Happy Birthday to W
Thanks for stepping into the breach once again Pigpen........ hope you manage to get all your studying done lil_me
I thought I could hear someone singing very loudly and slightly off key around 8.30 this morning when I was taking the littlies to school and I come back to find out that it was probably Mudbath!!:rotfl:
G&B Thanks for Pat & Stanley on You Tube - they were so funny!:D
Michelle - I hope you're still allocating - your list gets longer not shorter every time I look
Rumbly - Congrats on the house
Vanilla - hope your little one is feeling better today and you too.;)

Big Hugs to anyone I've not mentioned - I'm sure to have missed folk. The electrickery has gone off twice today - shame that you can't hoover when it's off

This is what is left over from this weeks list - not doing too badly considering dh is at home poorly .....


Manic Monday - Kitchen and Dining Room/Area
Level Three
Clean washer drawer, filters on the dryer, dishwasher and cooker hood filters
Clean the oven if you missed it last week or it needs it

• Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms
• Empty one shelf (or the top of a cupboard) clean it, clean what's on it and put it all back

Tuesday - Lovely Living Rooms and Safe Stairs
Extra Mission Tasks - as usual if you fancy tackling something else you could try one or more of these

• Check where important documents like passports, birth certificates, driving licences, medical cards are and make a note of where they are and if any need replacing, changing etc (yes I know it's repeated but lots of members were not about when it was done)
  
• Spend 15 minutes sorting paperwork, dealing with anything urgent NOW
• Clean out the vacuum cleaner, empty the bag/bucket, clean filters if they are washable MAKE SURE YOU DON'T PUT THEM BACK UNTIL THEY ARE DRY!

wednesday - Master Bedrooms and Landings
Level Three
Check through one drawer making sure only what needs to be is in there!
Extra mission tasks, as always if you fancy an extra challenge try one or more of these

• Spend 30 minutes doing something for you, anything you like, call it 'midweek me time'
  
• Empty the top or bottom of your wardrobe, wherever you 'store' things, sort through it, clean wherever it goes, remove what shouldn't be there then replace what should be
• Clean windows in the bedroom, make sure you wipe the sill too

See you later
Hope

DD1 collected from school. Popcorn made (noticed someone has made toffee popcorn too late for this time but how?? although maybe not a good idea as I can eat and eat that stuff:o ). They are sitting down watching doddlebops, think DD1 getting up at 5am has caught up with her.

Chicken in - will do spuds and veggies next and make some yorkies puddings
Our bed made and room tidied and dusted:D

Thanks for all the comments re the eyebrows. Mine have a pretty good natural shape so am hoping she will not have that many to pull. Well I am hoping pull as dont fancy wax :eek: . Did pigpen summons up the nerve to book her hair appointment?? Got a week till mine and still no decided whether to go for a cut for natural curly hair or carry on straightening it . Thanks for comments re dress situation I am gonna try the old and the new one on tonight and put it to the family vote (and then decided what I want to do;) ).

I just use butter, brown sugar and golden syrup and reduce it until its toffee like. Pour it over and voila:D
