Pigpen - I can see carpet in that one! Tomorrow I am going to do the playroom, and it is roughly the same as your pics. Freecycle here I come. Unless anyone is local to Leics and wants toys and books to suit c2 yo's?

Discount Diva - it took 15 months to buld up and I have nowhere to put most of it. I think the best I can do is a little sorting and a little re-distribution which I hope to do tonight. What I am trying to avoid is re-dumping the same boxes of unsorted junk elsewhere. I will post an updated picture tomorrow am

Chasingbutterflies - I had to tidy both for visitors last weekend - hence the cleared spots of carpet and the junk shoved to the side.

sue-y - eugh, not more mice! I have no kitchen cupboards so everything is out on shelves which isn't helping me. As a student I lived in a house that had mice. I spent most of one night awake listening to a mouse eating a chocolate bar on my bedside table. Never been so (pathetically) scared in my life. Went downstairs the next morning to see a rat on the draining board. Never went back. Having to live with the problem here, can't sell the dream house even if it does have mice.

I'm up, just This poor weather is really draining me, or maybe its the amount of junk we've been eating lately? Or it could be the stress with the whole ex situation and DD's reaction? I don't know. I'm sooo tired its unbelieveable

Prob a combination of everything I'd say. though I was very healthy last week after a couple of weeks of eating carp and I definitely notice the difference. Had a nother bad day or so over the weekend and again I noticed I felt dreadful. I'm trying really hard at the minute to remembe that eating scrummy chocolate does taste sooooo good but does me no favours whatsoever. Ditto McDonalds stuff, tortilla chips, too much bread, basically anything nice LOL.
And yes the weather is just misery inducing as well.
Are you sleeping ok ? As in restfulsleep as well as enough of it ?
Big ((hugs)) for you and I will try and post that stuff tomorrow as I have zaero (yes ZERO) children for a couple of hours in the morning so can go to the Post Office unencumbered :T

Well chuffed the house is clean and tidy, hasn't looked like this in a long time, what a difference a week at home makes!

weird old day here. Went to go spinning but creche at the gym was closed because the mens loos upstairs urinals had leaked into the creche - eeeewwwwww - and shorted the electrics so they closed the creche so no spinning for me and a few friends who also use creche.
So we all sat in the cafe instead LOL

Popped to Asda for a few bits, then collected DD1 from preschool and my friend and her daughter came back for lunch. Its bizarre, this week is the last of the term for preschool, and about 4 of DD's friends, the bigger girls, are moving up to Big School and not even the school we go to, so I just won't see them again really. Funny to see them every day for 2 1/2 years (since DS started) and now to just not see them again. Some of them are slightly older than DS but going to schools with 3 inateks whereas ours has 1 intake, so they are going now whereas DS started at only just 4 in September.

Managed to get a bit of dusting done after she left and then walked in the tipping down rain to school to get DS, and back again.
Got home did DS Maths homework with him and now stood reading this. Up to page 20 so will catch up on the rest later.

Going to put some pasta on for tea (pasta and Asda veggie meatballs and some fallout veg (love whoever called it that , so easy) and strip and remake beds while pasta cooking.

Will report back later, got lots to cross off my list as never updated it yesterday
