Extra Mission : help yourself

• Wipe window sills and clean windows in these rooms

• Clean oven if it really needs it.. or [strike]just do the hob[/strike]
  
• 33 fling boogie.. GO!
• [strike]Empty the bin.. wash it out.. and make it smell SWEET[/strike]

I know I'm still in the early days, but I just try and do as much as I can each day. I try not to dwell on the things I've been unable to do, but be proud of what I have done. It has already been said the rooms come around again, the extra things can always be done another week.
My house is tidier, my kids are fed well, I am less stressed. It all goes towards a happier home.

i've had to turn the heating off...our heating must have been so ineffective for so long that i can't cope now it's working, lol!

Huh! There's no satisfying some people - first you complain you're too cold, then you complain you're too hot.....

But just think of the gas/leccy you're now saving

And hugs AnW - I didn't mean to upset you

Taffy - thanks very much for the rainbows uniform - I picked it up from the PO this morning. DD has been to Rainbows in it tonight pleased as punch. I told her she'd had it because she got such a good report at school last night.:D

i know, i know, dh said that. i've had to open the window and it's pouring with rain outside. i started to worry there was something wrong it's so hot. apparently it was all so clogged up it had to be on almost all the time just to keep us warm. now it works. this is good! :rotfl: :T :rotfl:

Soappie you didn't upset me at all

It just seems unbelievable that so many police officers are dying needlessly at the moment. All have been reported as well regarded and all have left families including children behind which I find the most tragic bit. Just remembered about a Wiltshire officer who was found dead with what looks like self inflicted gunshot wounds as well within the last week

Mudbath, I'm the same actually - since I had my new boiler about 3 years ago, the rads throw out so much heat I often turn the termostat right down just to cool the place a bit.
Which is why I get seriously p*d off when my D-i-L turns the thermostat up to 25 :eek: when I'm not in - the place becomes positively tropical!

Evening All,
It has been the worst week for flying so far, but I'm in tomorrow and need to get stuff done. So just going to do what I need to do to get it looking right..

My list:
DW
WM
TD
S&S kitchen
S&S bathroom
dust
general tidy
compost
bin in kitchen
hoover through
wash floors
Newday bookings
Tesco for bits and bobs
phonecall for Dad

There isn't that much really, but my energy levels are seriously lacking. I'm going to go to bed early and then get cracking first thing tomorrow.
It's DD1's b'day tomorrow, she's 14...oh my baby is growing up.....she's having a sleepover, so need to get it sorted for that and need to get the stuff she wants from Tescos.
