    Hi guys so to all of you have a bad day or sad news.

    Still try to sort out DH office, I am getting there but it is taking a time. Stressing that I am not getting to anything else on the list at all this week but keep telling myself once it is done it will be so much easier to clean.

    Posted my last two ebay parcels and sorted out loads of packing I have for the next lot.

    Must do PTA accounts this evening.

    Right 15 more minutes sorting in the office and then I'll join you LG doing a bit in the kitchen and getting tea on.

    Pigpen, I use a squirt of stardrops in the WM with any grotty stuff, works a treat!

    I'm up for a HHC at 4.30pm! Time to grab a coffee first, I plan on hoovering the stairs and tidying up there, down stairs can wait till kiddies are in bed.

    I got a horse shoe!!!! It's rusty though, but thats extra lucky. So, going to steep it in star drops first of all to get the gunk off it then I will cheat and paint it with pewter paint. It's for thsi wedding in 2 and a half weeks time. Must get some nice ribbon... *mentally goes through her floristry box* and other stuff.... I am thinking sparkley...

    the calgony things were onfreecycle about 15 seconds!! I have listed the childrens broken bikes for someone to repair or weigh in and generally rid me of... let's see if they go.. what else can I give away?

    I have the cheapy £30 mothercare buggy jobby thing, it has a new raincover too (£10).. should it be ebayed or freecycled?? I can't use it and it is too low for hubby to use.. so what shall I do with it?

    Tori hope today went well, hugs
    Embb yes its a nightmare! Only use 2 daily and the downstairs loo but it did take ages on Monday to scrub them well. The other two are guests bathrooms at the minute so I clean them as soon as they've left to keep on top of it and then just dust and stick bleach down weekly. The top floor one will get used much more when we finally get together a games/movie room so that'll be another to clean *rolls eyes* Hugs for aching, sounds like your doing really well
    Hugs to anyone who wants one

    Have done no flying today! Been out with LO and dogs at IL's and playgroup so been out and then when LO had an hour I've been painting our bedroom. Almost finished the second coat but it looks like it'll need another.

    Got that 'bite your head off' mood on for various silly reasons, had to put dogs in kitchen before I totally lost it, poor things. Just stuffed some of the swiss chocolate in my gob DH brought me back - is it too early for a baileys yet??? DS currently playing happily so thought I'd sneak on here.

    Got loads of ideas whizzing round my head at the minute so need to sit and have a list writing session later.

    Better get LO's tea on Xx

    I have a gold ribbon with multicoloured spots.. from a Lush gift box at christmas.. if you get stuck! We inherited 3 horseshoes with this house.. one above the door and 2 we found buried in the garden.. which are now stood on the window sill.

    Best go join in the HHC.... and get the hallway something like I think.. actually I could do HHc anywhere in the house and it is so bad you'd still not notice!!

    Cuppa sounds good!

    Tracy.. if it is too early for baileys should I not be drinking a smirnoff ice? lol.. oops!

    List complete. I'm doing a walking bus to brownies to give all the children a bit of fresh air. Think i've got 7 on my list to pick up - I must be mad (sorry pigpen). I'm going to scrap the stair carpets when I get back and clean out the cat tray. Don't I live the life of riley! xx
