    Dishes done, Lentil soup portioned. Just going through my fridge trying to use up everything. I will make use of every last bit of food that i have:D
    Made my shortbread last night, it was scrummy, the golden sugar gave it a really nice flavour.

    Vanilla i bet your man enjoyed the football last night, i subjected my hubby to it(he doesnt like foootball). Was a great game, felt really sorry for the Werder Bremen goalie though:rotfl:

    G&B was a great game, defo felt for the goalie.

    2 Kiddies away to school which DD now hates me because i didn't let her dress up as it's the dreaded book thing today and all the kids where to dress up as characters in story books, i'm not paying for an outfit that she will only wear once and i couldn't make one so they'll just have to get over it.

    DS2 was sick yesterday at playgroup and didn't eat much yesterday so he's still in bed which is unusual but i get a bit of peace for awhile.

    Right now to get a cuppa and load the washing machine, hoping to get all the washing done today cause it's working it's way up the hall.:rotfl:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    hiya everyone, gonna get a little bit done before i go out to pay those dreaded bills of mine lol.
    Strip kids beds (dont have to replace bedding until tomorrow cos kids stopping at grannies tonight.. woohoo)
    Washing (one load done next load just finished)
    Dishes (will leave on side to dry and put awa when i get home)

    Kids room not too bad as i completely gutted it less than 2 weeks ago and have been having a daily tidy up in there, so just general wipe around and vacuum needed in there.
    Will get DP to vacuum through when he gets in from work tonight.

    Have given myself a few sorting out jobs to do over the weekend, and i am gonna freecycle some of the kids old baby toys.

    Cant believe how organised i am since joining this thread.
    Thanx pigpen!!!

    Hugs to you AnW'smum, I have been thinking of you all day yesterday and today. You are in my thoughts and in my prayers. You are amazing and have come a long way.

    AnWs mum - just wanted to send you and the children big hugs.

    Lots to do here, I have been really busy with my self employed bits (and the work might not be there next time so I need to do it) to the detriment of the house. I am ignoring work today, and need to do all of the ground floor and at least half an hour in the garden. Time to choose some music.

    I will switch the computer off, I will.. My get up and go appears to have got up and gone.

    oh dear, I haven't managed much over the last couple of days - that W*RK thing is getting in the way. Will attempt to catch up today and over the weekend but it's not looking too bad either just need to change beds and clean bedrooms and I'll be back on track.
    Hope everyone is well and happy it's friday...
