Extra Mission
Choose one or more of:

• 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!

Just sitting waiting for my floor to dry then i'll make a start on dinner before i have to pick LO back up from nursery.

Is it just me or is dried weetabix the hardest substance in the world? Took me ages to scrub a blob off from under the table:mad:

Not getting very far today so gonna do a HHC from 3pm.

DD1 complaining of sore throat (system of her scarlet fever) so bowl of icecream for both of them and a Dora whilst they eat it. Did a trip to the library so lots of books to keep her entertained (and a video).

I bought decaff coffee, think that was a big mistake as could really do with a caffine kick me thinks. I so need a good nights sleep in my own bed would be a bonus (not slept in it since Thursday).

Oh! one of the dresses turned up but it stinks of smoke:mad: , think its the courier (one of the local people who use their own cars).

Gonna have to go DD1 spots are itching and she has just started crying.

Agternoon all,
well I looked at my manky carpet, had some lunch, looked at it again and went to bed for an hour.
Unfortunately I don't feel any more inclined to hoover now that I'm up. In fact I feel rough. I hope its just tiredness.
Looks like the hoovering will be carried over to tomorrows list...
think we are having JP for tea tonight. DH does the pancakes here and he is away so we are having pancake day on the weekend.
So as long long as I can find the energy to get the spuds in the oven we should be fine.

AAARRRGGGHHH! I took DD2 upstairs to get her to have a nap and fell asleep with her!!! Hubby still on the couch and little one still asleep! And now it is time to get DD1 from the school bus and go to the corner shop here for some bits and bobs! Havent gotten much done today!!!

And to top it all off, hubby's boss gave me an earful about him "following procedures" when he was too sick to walk this morning - so i gave him an earful back!!!

.......

Righto am back from picking DD1 up off the bus and we went to the shop ... hubby still practically comatose on the sofa - not really fit for anything.

So havent gotten much flying done but just wait - I think I;m about to go manic!!!

Didn't you know GnB - they make weetabix out of knitted concrete.

OH came home at lunchtime cause there's a problem with the fascia boarding - had a face like thunder especially when he saw the state of the house - funny that - did he think that the fairies miraculously cleaned up and whistled while they worked - no, that would be me, !!!!!!.

Think the problem is fixed now - they've just finished for the day and will be back tomorrow at 7.45 again - I'm a night owl, it's not fair, where's my blankie, wahhhhh.

Right, quick :coffee: then I'm going to do a HHC from 3.30-4 then another one straight after 4-4.30 - anyone game to join in is welcome.

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.

that's just criminal! glad you're replacing it I love original features.

Worked till 3pm did an hours ironing too, so that's more money for the pot. Got a job in Washington (not D.C. ) tomorrow so best get reading the map eek! Just trying to get my aching feet right then I've got to pop round to OH's (not quite sure what to call him now, seeing as he's not quite an EX either) for a cuppa then back here to do my dailies and make tea.

Brews all round?
