    Good luck serena
    Hugs to those who are poorly or who have little ones who are (I think it's worse than being poorly yourself sometimes) and for those who just need a squishy hug.
    Mudbath, pleased the advice worked, does sound like attention seeking, I had a friend who used to hide things in my house then steal them when she thought I had given up looking, we were teens by then but I used to ask her in front of her Mam if she seen it, hence the suggestion. Things didn't even improve when she was humiliated in front of a class being caught out stealing something of mine, I think she just wanted/needed the attention.

    Well done to everyone who has flown well under Pigpen's gentle guidance :D I have ended up flying very high after DP invited our friends back here after the pub meal. So from 3.15pm- 6pm the sitting room, kitchen, dining room and bathroom were all 'flyladied'. Ok I did do some dumping in my room from the landing :o mainly boxes I haven't unpacked yet. Meal was chaos, DS1 was being down right horrible but once we got home and got them to bed we were able to catch up properly (haven't seen either of them for about 8 months) was lovely.

    Right, tomorrow, hectic! Boys to sort and off to school (see what I can get done before taking them again) then over to my sisters first to collect some stuff, then take my friend to the dentist, then study, then hopefully a little flying.............maybe. Poss helping DP with the club on the night but unsure yet.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Just spent 3 hours pouring over the PTA accounts looking for the error and we can't find it. I will look again in a day or so on my own and see what turns up then.

    Just going to find my list and then head on up to bed.

    Right caught up to page 10 so far and off to bed now. Internet is a lot better, but it did drop the connection earlier and would not let me back on. I rebooted and managed to get online again so the jury is out as to whether the problem is truly fixed.

    Catch you all tomorrow. or should I say later today! Won't be around until the evening.

  • Woke up at 2, 3 then gave up at 4 and got up and stripped the kitchen counters of all items and moved them into other rooms. Have also taped up the door into the back living room with newspaper to stop brick dust getting everywhere. Today's little joys include two more lintels, two back steps being constructed and the window lads ripping out the kitchen window and cutting through the brick work to put in a door and a window either side (will look a bit like a letter T) - will look a bit odd to begin with until we've had a stud partition wall put in to separate the extension into two but hopefully will look great in the end. Can't wait to be able to start decorating.

    Today's list after building work done:-

    Clean and wipe surfaces
    Sweep and mop floors
    Sort fridge
    Wipe table/chairs and replace in kitchen
    Wipe and replace all kitchen appliances
    Clean fridge
    Clean cupboard fronts and tops
    De junk WM drawer
    Empty TD condenser and fluff filter
    Vac house top to bottom

    Once again pigpen must have read my mind - I swear she's a witch (or is it just her temper :D) And don't believe a word pigpen says Kimberley - she's got 8 speechless-smiley-040.gif kids and still has time to [STRIKE]shout at[/STRIKE] encourage us all in our endeavours angel-smiley-002.gif
    I'd rather be watching CSI!

    I'm glad I'm not the only one up this early....stupid jet lag!!!

    I'm keeping quiet for another hour so I don't wake the kinders, but I'm wondering if I can put the kettle on for a cuppa.....??

    Then I will start with a venganence, though the kitchen isn't too bad, but really need to do the floors and start on those hotspots.

    Right gonna try and make a cuppa and have a loo.......
    see you in about an hour...!
