Just stopped for lunch.:D

In my hour I've:
Took the ironing I did last night upstairs
Put some washing on the line - not all of it as I seem to have lost half of my pegs over the Winter while I haven't used it.
Washed dishes
HHI
Cooked cheese oatcakes for kids
Made myself a sandwich

Doesn't sound much - I suppose the ironing took the time and i still have a little bit more to do but not much.

Right, off upstairs now to sort out the highsleeper thats been delivered. DD and I are putting it up ourselves, BUT its come with a wardrobe and my mate said "the trick is to balance the base on top of the wardrobe while you attach the ends" He did offer to put it up but I said it would be alright as he has his little boy with him :oAt least I have his mobile number if I get REALLY stuck and need to ask where something goes. Oh, and the curtains I picked up to go underneath are just right Its either that or I attack the stuff to go back in DD's room. Laters

Just stopped for lunch here too, trying to catch up with the freecycle emails aswell. We've decided, well OK DP decided, time to do the garden, mainly lawn cutting but some of the fence to fix aswell in a mo. Seems we're letting the street down a little as everyone did theirs at the weekend when DP was away, don't want the neighbours offering to lend a mower thinking we don't have one. Shattered already and we aren't finished yet. Best go get the next load of sheets on the line and more in the washer then back to the garden...

SOMEONE REMIND ME NEXT TIME WE MOVE TO CHOOSE A HOUSE WITH A SMALLER GARDEN.

vivw - Instore, Au Natural and Ikea all have nice baskets, unsure if online (I likes baskets )

Just been reading lots of posts. I think its because it is hols that it is so difficult to get things done. I couldn't post yesterday because the giant puppy chewed the lead to my laptop. DD has just rung to ssay it is £30 to get it repaired or £60 to get a new one.
mudbath, ready made meals are such a good idea if there's just one or two of you. Are you still in plaster? My psychologist (who I was seening because of chronic pain) suggested that for us but as there were seven of us at home it wasn't really practical and they all took turns cooking.
I have had broken wrist and ankle in last couple of years:eek: I am hoping that my dizziness treatment works.

vivw and michelle you have my sympathy over marking. It takes much longer than anyone realises. I must remember how good it is not to have to do it anymore. I dreamt last night that DH got me a job in a school and told me I had to go!!!
pigpen I thought I was bad not getting dressed until 11am.


Mad Wednesday - Living room, Hallway, Stairs:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

These rooms are a building site and my carpet is underneath it all.:eek:
DSs are boarding my ceiling in the living room and as it is huge it will take them all holiday. They keep squabbling, fighting, falling out with each other and also forgetting what they are doing and playing on the x box they bought.
