Had a phone call tonight DH defo coming home tomorrow, about 4-5pm. Just enough time to hoover through upstairs, which as your posts say it's the kids room so they can help me saturday - yeah right!!!:rotfl:
Having an indian takeaway tom night, won't be doing much flying as not seen DH for 2½ weeks, mind you could get a bit done upstairs while girls attack him and argue over him. But I'm definitely having an early night :T

Sorry ladies but I've found the proper post button and have discovered all the icons!!!
Hope everyone else has had a good week, have a good weekend if I'm not on much.
By the way, Pigpen and Mudbath, you really should be on stage! I've have been crying at your posts all day. Thank you;)

Hi everyone!
Just finished watching telly - albeit had a little snooze too! Oh well. Didn't get the dusting finished but the ironing mountain has vanished!
Well done JillD - great result - wish I had your willpower! There's always too many biccies and choccies in the staff room!!
Off to bed - got my assembly to do in morning. Wish me luck!
(I only volunteered 'cos it seemed like a good idea at the time!!!!)
Oh well - if it goes really wrong they won't ask me again!

JillD well done on the weight loss
Quitters well done on another successful day

Managed to hoover living room before I went out so just the wiping to do. Hoover upstairs now ready for kids rooms on the weekend.

Mudbath am I supposed to sit and relax for the whole time when I get back? Sounds cool, I have never done that, can I read, how relaxed do I have to be? Ooooooooh must get the trotters in a decent condition in the morning before I go.
