If I could bottle bedroom smell I'd make a fortune selling DS1's smelly room smell for chemical warfare!! It needs biohazard stickers on!! Is is a mixture of BO, the most revolting smelly feet in the world and goodness knows what other delights!! His fish have beards it is so gross in there!

I have another 7 ebay parcels to wrap and post and I can't be bothered..

jjef - well done on the house. Not so great for poor woofy dog. Are the kids OK? And are you ok? xx

Grrr still half of my post disappeared so I had to go back and edit it. Oh and my Mother, grrr, pleased she doesn't live here full time. She left wet towels on the bed, tea bags in the sink (my pet hate)stuff everywhere etc but the first to have a moan if my house is untidy. Took me half an hour to clean up after she'd left this morning, she's like a teenager.

We're going bowling today, hmmm, not been for several years, should be fun! Just phoned for prices, not going to be cheap!!!

Right, time to empty washing machine and get it filled/restarted.......

Felt really good as I had done everythign on the list but then i dropped off some paperwork in the office and BAM feel like I have got nothing done again! It has become a dumping ground for everything we dont know where to put. And all the stuff from the spare room was dumped in there when we had our DS 6 weeks ago to create his nursery. Cupboards are overflowing and paperwork is all over every surface. Oops.

OH is a neat freak though so the rest of the house is relatively tidy. He likes it tidy whereas I prefer it CLEAN if you know what I mean (the two are very different. I don't mind a spot of mess so long as everthing is clean but he will shove stuff in cupboards so it looks tidy - it's a constand battle!)

Decided that while DS has his afternoon nap I will tackle one job each day if I can.

The office of Shelvis sortout

1. Empty books from cupboard 1. Charity any rubbish ones and put good ones in the bookcase in my bedrooom. Move cupboard 1 to top of stairs.
2. Empty cupboard 2. Pack away all the collectible toys into a plastic crate for the loft. Sort the rubbish books for the charity and put good ones in cupboard 1. Move cupboard 2 to DS room for toys.
3. Empty cupboard 3. Sort through all pamphlets and put useful ones in cupboard 1. Move photo albums to cupboard 1.
4. Tidy cupboard 4 so create space for office supplies.
5. Move cupboards 3 and 4 along the back wall
6. Clear desk 1 of all paperwork. File important things less than a year old. Put important things over year old in box to scan into computer. Shred old documents of no importance.
7. Move computer and printer over to desk 1.
8. Clear desk 2 using principles from number 6^
9. Place desk 2 into the garage.
10. Scan in all documents from 6^ and 8^ and shred the originals. Create backups on DVD and file in the filing cabinet.

Phew it's going to be a big job. You should see it. You can barely open the door. God forbid I should need to find some paperwork in a hurry I would have no chance!!

Hiya
I've got a stinking headache - think it's caffeine withdrawal from no chocolate and no diet coke for 27 hours. I feel totally carp, lol!

Washing machine had been on twice. Trying to dry football kit for DS at hometime. Parent who shares lift with DD has just phoned to say she's not going it tonight so I need to take DD, pick up DD, and pick up DS at different places at the same time but hey...no problem!

I've spent the money i've saved on my usual chocolate and diet coke fix on a new nut feeder for the birds. We're getting loads now.

Anyone for a HHC 230 till 3. My house is bad so no excuses this week xx

She's not actually the worse! I picked her up from her friends house and her mum showed me her bedroom to try and shame her. I asked DD what the horrible smell was (once we got home). She fessed up that her friend didnt like her tea one night, so just wrapped it up in a magazine and forgot about it. It was fish. :eek: :eek: :eek: Euwww!!!!Teenagers are just revolting!!

Double Euwww!! I take it her mum either never goes in there or has lost her sense of smell :rotfl:

Serena - should I have planted out my hellebore when the ground was frozen? It was very pot bound so I soaked it in water first and now am worried that the water will freeze and kill it? Bit late though to be honest
