Thanks galantvr4. Likewise with your giving up smoking. We're in a similar boat really aren't we? The ADs did help me over a very difficult spot last year when we were facing homelessness, and even though they haven't actually cured the depression and our situation isn't really much improved - our lease ends at the end of July (if the owners decide to cut their trip to China short) I really feel the need to come off them.

Am I odd....(don't say yes until you've read the rest of what i'm going to say!)...i've just vaccumed the whole of downstairs but I emptied the dyson first so that I could see how much carp I got up. Hee hee, I got up loads...quite disgusting really!

No, you're not odd. It's very satisfying to see that your vacuum actually works! I recently got a new vacuum because my Vax was rubbish and didn't pick up properly. Now I've got a bagged Sebo and feel happy that I have to change the bag because it means it's working!

Nearly forgot to say...I start my voluntary job at the beginning of March. All official and the police cleared me. I don't know why I always worry about those please checks as i've never done anything dodgy!

It's only the law-abiding who actually feel worried about these things.:rotfl: Whenever I see a policeman I always feel guilty and I've never done anything dodgy either!

Better late than never, I'm in for a HHC, best get going!!

Hi

Just updating my list and praying i don't lose my post like i did last night:mad:

Ds2's bed has arrived, he's having his last nap in his cot now cause i doubt he will ever sleep again in the day once he's able to escape :eek: :eek: :eek: . He's one of these strange children who won't sleep anywhere but his cot. He will go to sleep in the car if he's absolutely shattered but will wake up as soon as you get him out.:rolleyes:

Ds1 is so different and would sleep anywhere i could carry him to the house undress him and put him to bed and he still wouldn't wake up. I've even hoovered his room whilst he's been asleep before:o .

Just chilling for 10 mins before i have a tidy up.

Back, joined in with HHC too

[strike]Make dinner
Empty airer and put away (instead of dumping it in the corner of my room )
Washer load that's in on airers
Another wash load in [/strike]
Also did dishwasher, a pile of sock sorting, emptied the 3 bags DP emptied from his car (why there was 6 pairs of DS1s pants in there I don't know, bottle of vodka too....amongst other strange things like halloween suits and skeleton glasses) and tidied the kitchen.....but I still have to do

Then I suppose I should start on that desk...


Which I haven't started and have even dumped more stuff on it, am I avoiding it? Obvious question....right HHC 2.30pm-3 I MUST DO THE DESK!!! After I do all the online banking etc before then. Oh and I am getting worse, found £20 on the floor under the sofa I must have dropped at some point ..


Anyone joining me.

MOJT.. Be confident when you take her in.. it is a GOOD thing not a reason to get stressed.. talk about how wonderful it'll be etc.. Stay relaxed yourself.. even if you aren't.. if you are stressing she will pick up on it..

I left but I told her I was going and she cried for about 5 minutes then they said she was angry for a while (that is my DD) and I phoned after 30 minutes and she is playing sticklebracks with some of the other children and one of the other ladies .

So i now have 1 hour free- should really get of off here but I had to check the list to see what I planned to do, honest.


Redspecs- Remember to do one step at a time. I am sure the mess wasn't made in one day so don't expect ot be able to tidy it in one day. Have to agree with Pigpen it is amazing what you can do in 30 minutes or even 15 mintues.

I'll join you lil_me. Could do with getting the rest of the things on my list done, and also have a couple of baskets of washing yet to put away. Shouldn't take me long to do, as I've only got a few things left on there, although I don't expect I'll be able to do the sorting out the clothes bit from Monday's list.
