Evening everyone

Failed again today, only WMx2. Will catch up tomorrow.

Been to Trafford Centre, well we haven't been for over 12 months. Boys wanted to look at video games to spend birthday monies.

Bought 2 pillow style cushions for sofa from BHS, bargain, they were £24 reduced to £12 reduced again to £9.60, and I had a voucher for £5 off when spending £35, OH was buying a pair of shoes anyway, so I think I did OK. :T

I had giftcards for £10 Next, £20 M&S & £10 Boots for my birthday a month ago. Why can't I find anything I want, well I see lots but don't want to add the extra money. I used to have no problem spending.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Well i am feeling very pleased with todays efforts, I have-:

Clean, tidied and flung from each kitchen cupboard and draw
Tidied CD/DVD cupboard in lounge
Tidied littles room (again) have rearrange stuff so dressing up stuff is now hung in one wardrobe, videos and DVDs are all in their room in underbed storage unit etc.
Bathed and wash hair for both girls (no screaming from them or me;) )

All kitchen worksurfaces decluttered and even a shiny sink - more flinging needed tomorrow though me thinks our bedroom.

Spots itchy but just the last of the scabbyness me hopes. Got a herbal cream from the chemist for the ones on my face and really impressed with it - I may even look human again come Monday morning:D .

Cheated and had !!!!!! chinese for tea (which was lush) but think I deserve it after liberating so much junk.

Michelle - Hope you have an ok night with Charlie.

Pigpen - Enjoy watching the woofs

Evening All,
I rarely show my face on here on the week end, but DH and DD1 & DD2 have gone tabogganing and DS & DD3 are on sleep overs...so, my house is looking a little bit lived in and I've done no clothes washing. Thought I'd come on here, do a list and get some motivation.
So, my list:
S&S kitchen
S&S bathroom
DW
WM
TD
fold clothes
general tidy
hoover
wash floors (maybe)

I think thats it....

Mudbath

Dusty - i'm reading a really good book at the moment but my good hand keeps getting sore when I hold it for two long so i'm reading in short stints. Some friends are taking me out for dinner tonight so I really need to get ready only i know it's going to be hard work doing my hair so i'm putting it off, lol. I've become addicted to computer scrabble because I can do that with one hand!

I really, really need to wash my hair now....one more game of scrabble.

Have a good evening xx

soappie

Ooooh, I love it when a plan comes together!

Postcards put on ebay

Sometimes, it's nice to be able to reflect and know you've achieved what you needed to in a day and have nice company for the evening as well.

Have a good one ladies and :beer:

Gonna jump in the bath then see what's on the box-or not as the case may be, may need to dig out a DVD. Nitty-norah'd littleys hair (yak!) it only took a week this time to get them again *tuts*

FAShelley congrats about your ex-sil, hows your dad doing
Mudbath I've broken both arms (at different times thankfully) and it was horrible both times, hugs!!!
Vanilla OMG!!! No wonder your scared
Lil me thanks for the vote of confidence for the interview! Hows the doggy's tummy?
Pigpen hipe you enjoyed crufts
Michelle sorry to say this but we've had 4 weeks soild weeks so DS being ill, started with virus and a bad rash, then teething, then sickness bug, then cold and general poorly and its only these last 3 days hes been hes normal happy self. He stopped eating, just picking at food and refusing and having a paddy when I offered him something. He was just wanting cuddles or just staring at TV or wondering about looking lost, felt so, so sorry for himself. I actually sat and cried as I thought my happy little fella had just disappeared overnight. Thankfully hes coming back to himself and has eaten like a horse these last few days and has been playing, learning to be a parrot with words, just a poorly phase that has had to pass. I don't mean to sound horrible and tell you how to look after him but if he is poorly and needs you and lots and lots of love, mat leave might have to be an option.

MIL brought a friend to show her around our house this morning, don't ask, so it has been dusted and hoovered through, ALL sinks S&S and it looked quite good. Been wedding dress shopping all afternoon with my sis which was fab but think she's now very scared.

Family day for us three tomorrow as DH is going away for four days so no flying. DH just gone out for more wine and an indian takeaway.

Enjoy your Saturday night folks!

Embb - how long does it take to clean those? You sure get a lot for your money where you are.

Soappie glad you have had a good day and taking time to appreciate what you have done. Enjoy your evening.

Shell - have your girls had chicken pox? which cream did you use? Glad you are feeling better and flying high.

Mudbath - what about putting your book on one of those recipe book stands? Hope you had a good evening with your friends.

DS3 in bed. DS2 room done apart from hoovering but don't want to disturb DS3 so will do in the morning when I do his room.

DS2 was allowed to Gocart aswell as there was space on the track so he will be a very happy bunny.

Just going to do some online surveys and delete some emails.
