    Afternoon all

    Still working to my own list......did the bathroom Sunday evening anyway.

    I did the bedrooms today, stripped my bed and did two loads of washing. Put it out on the line and it all froze! It finally started moving about midday. I'll get it in soon and finish it off indoors. It should at least smell fresh.

    Dusted and vacuumed all the bedrooms. Vacuumed down the stairs.

    Dusted and vacuumed round computer desk. Vacuumed hallway and kitchen.

    Put away all the Asda shopping.

    Spent half an hour in the garden hacking back the rest of the cotoneaster and japonica.

    I'm back, washer finished at the end of mine (stayed a bit longer as got distracted replying in a topic) I can now see you all when sat at the desk, rather than using the laptop and ignoring the mess. Actually it didn't take me that long, found an ebay item I thought I had already posted, oops. If I say I am going to buy pens or pencils please stop me, I now have 4 pen pots and 2 pencil cases full :o I have this stationary addiction aswell you see, oh and postit notes, 4 blocks so far.... Just sat working through April's finances, not that the extra £1.15 child benefit will make a hue difference, but as Mr Tesco says every little helps!

    Pigpen what's on the list for tomorrow? :D Just so I can get a sneaky head start because going by what we have on, need to collect some things, the fact I am braving haircut day for the boys (DS1 looks like Mr Majeca sp* with that tuft at the back) I'm guessing I won't be home until, erm, some time late afternoon. I will have the linen off the bed and in the wash as soon as DP drags himself out of the bed of course but have my spare set I prefer ready to go on with the new toppery thing :D
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    I told this monster who came to tea to wash his hands before they ate....'I don't wash my hands at home'. Tough you do it here! Give him his food...the only food his mum says he eats (some parents!!)

    'I don't like your chips'
    'I don't like your orange'
    'I don't like your sausages'
    'I don't like your house'

    Am I allowed to say 'I don't like you!'

    I've got my own back though. I put two bowls of icecream out for my two and this lad says...I like ice-cream. I turned round and said 'yes, but you won't like MY icecream will you' and walked off. Oh I can be so grown up. I am seething, can you tell? xx
