Morning all!

Just dailies done here so far, been to playgroup with LO and caught up on here now he is napping!

Decided it will make more sense to do the kitchen AFTER we have made / eaten pancakes! My lot are very messy! So will be doing that this eveining whilst OH baths LO.

Oooooh G&B you just reminded me, big drama at next doors house last night they were fighting (again) anyway she must have called the police cause they knocked on my door to ask if they'd seen her leave cause there was no answer, police at the front and back doors, then the copper with the battering ram arrived, one smashed in front door she came back after they'd gone and was letting her mouth go in the front street :rolleyes: wish they'd just lock her up :rolleyes:

I'm gonna be late lol ta-ra :wave:

Pigpen - oh leader - I have a little question for you. If you only have two children is that why you managed to get up to £200 on ebay? Have you sold the rest!

Hugs everyone!

Had a lovely two mile walk with woofit to my mum and dads. Wound my dad up for an hour and then came home. Bless him, he loves it :rotfl: .

Wipe and replace all those small appliances.. kettle, toaster etc

• HHI .. bit of a catch up!!
• Write an inventory of your cupboards contents and what needs using first
• Empty the cutlery drawer.. clean it out, wash the cutlery tray, chuck those baby spoons you don't use any more.. how many medicine spoons do you actually need? get rid of everything you don't use and make the drawer look nice again!

Additional 27 x 3 list;
- 27 pieces of paper shredded
- 27 pieces of paper filed
- 27 boogie fling
Also need to pay cheque in bank for DS.

Few extra things to do. About to pop into town to raid charity shops for fancy dress. I'm also going to treat myself to a pair of shoes.....somehow I don't think pigpen will be jealous as they're for walking the dog!

Right, need to get off my bum and do something.

- lots of finches, tits and a robin today ... yeahhhhhhhhhh!

I'm back from town now...though starting to flag. I really need to get this floor hoovered. Perhaps I could ask one of the children to do it when they get home? Though I need them to sort their bedrooms out...Grandma is coming for 'Christmas' next week and always gives them loads of stuff so they need to clear some old stuff out to make room for the new stuff....
I'll look at the manky stairs a bit longer and see if that motivates me!!!

Speaking of being angry for no reason....I can sometimes feel my blood boil over stupid stuff....someone not putting a pen a way for instance...whats that all about???

Mudbath, see patience was all you needed. Where are you going to get your shoes from?

Pollybear - I hate that feeling, for me it is usually when I am premenstal - I scare cats, kids and shop assistants.

Poohbear enjoy your lunch you deserve it. I think it is great your mum brought a chair to your house. I love old chairs and want some.

I have spend an hour and a half in DH office and have only started on one corner. He is either going to be so impressed by my sorting skills or go b***dy mad, either is good for me. His reaction will be delayed though as like a burrowing bunny I have tossed all the stuff out behind me so you can't actually get in there easily.

Wish I could carry on but it is my turn to help in DS3 class and he would be sad if I didn't go.

Just going to mix some batter for later

I hate Microsoft Project :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:


Ok feel slightly better with that out my system.
Hello to everyone out there and a great big hug to you all.
Work has taken over my life in the past few days.
Im going quickly mad. My house is a tip and i think i need a good beating with the golden mules to make me get my backside in order and do some cleaning .

So im going to get my act together tonight and get on with yesterday and todays list.
But 1 good thing - I sent off my passport renewal yesterday :j

Right lunchtime. Better go eat something as ive only had 2 biccys since yesterday lunch. (forgot to eat - yes ive gone that far with the madness / stress)

Will come back hopefully in a better mood and with more done later.
Axxx

embb - I hate that fireplace. Someone has ripped out a 1900s one and replaced with with at 1950's on. The aspect ratio is all wrong for the room. When I have the money I'm going to rip it out and replace it with one of the right period.

lil_me - that table is fantastic. It used to be my sisters and I've had my eye on it since she bought it. When they decorated the lounge in their new house they decided it didn't go so asked me if I wanted it. The best bit is, it opens up, so you can hide all the junk in there, not that I have (yet!)

pollybear - most of the stuff in my lounge isn't new. Well I bought the sofa's (cheap ones from Ikea) and the tv, but the table and the blue drawers both came from my sister. They are both battered, you just can't see that in the photo

poohbear - there are definite advantages living by yourself, atleast the house is in the same state when I come home as when I left (unless the rats escape!)

DustyKitten - the rats are upstairs they have a room all of their own. Atleast it means that rest of the house is ok for visitors who don't like rats. Though maybe if I moved them into the spare room it would stop my parents coming to visit

aimeelister - I hate Microsoft Project too. It's the most unusable program I've ever had to use. My project planning is now done in Excel.

Right back to work for me, enjoy your afternoons.
