    You're just TOOOOOOOOOOOOOO organised lil_me - keep plodding on

    Took me agesto find the floor in my study under half-filled work bags but its done now, the house is tidied and I smell all bubbly from my splashy bath - goes hopefully to raid fridge

    Really must do a shop tomorrow - was going to go today but my gibbony fur was just too rammy to inflict on people in the fresh produce at Asda :D

    Tomorrow's list should be easy to do - I've hardly got anything left in my cupboards so cleaning should be quick and pain-free

    How's the squirrel paw tonight Mudbath (I think pigpen hurt her shoulder throwing things at you:D - Mistress Piggy, has the ibuprofen kicked in yet?)

    I've looked round here GnB, but I can't find your motivation at mine! Perhaps the Fiart in Operation ORF has driven away with it!

    Must skoot - OH has cooked me some tea - see miracles do happen occasionally!

    Have a great night y'all x
    I'd rather be watching CSI!

    I was really determined to do this ... before I found out the cat has fleas!:mad: There's no point cleaning anything for a couple of days now. I'm going to have to deep clean the house later on in the week when the cat treatment works, so will definitely start next week - hopefully with a clean flat to being with! I'll be lurking until then.

    You obviously haven't shopped at the asda near me, you'd fit right in:rotfl:

    Evening everyone.

    Don't know what is going on with you lot today. Only 3 pages of talk rather than 5 :confused: Are you all flying or something instead. ;)

    A few welcomes need to be said, especially welcome back to nicki, penpen, and denise. lovely to see you girls again. nicki it will pass and you will be stronger for it. Sorry you are hurting though, and that it is affecting your DD.



    I had a productive day at work, although did stop back a good bit after time. Will also be going in early as i am determined to clear some backlog of work this week so i can enjoy my last 2 weeks in peace. I'm not killing myself though.

    Looks like we are having a takeaway this evening, I delgated to DH to get something out of the freezer for dinner, and he forgot, so fish and chips i think, as he is running late and i am feeling pooped and uncreative.

    lil-me well done on getting that assignment done and out the way. Enjoy your evening tonight before tackling that next one.

    pigpen ouch - very pretty though.

    summermoon well done on that first day

    madcatgirl i would say that is even more reason to clean up. Imagine how many more of the little critters you will have to deal with if you don't get some of them now - i am speaking as someone who was truly infested after the cats got them last summer before we went away, and we came home and the house was loppy. Just spray some flea spray and do it.

    Anyway, going to do a bit of schooly stuff while i am waiting for the WM to finish - another load of soiled clothes from DS - wish this bug would hurry up and clear his system. Especially as i shouldn't have really had him at nursery, but what choice have i got really. 6 nasty nappies today, but that is two less than yesterday, and they mainly occur after eating or drinking. At least he is eating again now.

    See you all in a while.
    Michelle, x

    Madcatgirl, we were left a present when we moved in of those horrible F words, I found a treatment called RIP Fleas, works very well, so much so I found a woodlice issue we didn't know we had. Wish I haddn't but that's another story. I got it from www.wormers.co.uk and was about £12, £22 in my local vets.

    Well I've done a wash load, boys parcelled off to bed after DS2 gave DPs friend a run for his money on the Wii, he was warned :rotfl: They're watching Ashes to Ashes (first one as his friend has never seen it) so popped in to do emails etc. £195.32 left to pay on those 2 debts of DPs I've been working on (he's got the cards which he's blew thousands on toys to pay off, not getting off that lightly!) and going to try to rejig the finances this month, see what I can do to get it finished off, think it might be next month before they are gone but pleased with my little self.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
