Afternoon all,
i am in again this week but not going to be able to post, PC went on the blink yesterday afternoon and isn't doing anything today. I am at the library at the moment but wont manage back here until later in the week, so will follow the rooms in my own order. Hopefully will have PC access again soon.

Like the deep clean challenge I am needing to clear out the cupboards before we move so will get started on them tonight.

Okay off to collect the kids shortly and then to finish the kitchen and start the deep clean. Will hopefully manage to pop back in later in the week.

Hi everyone, so far i've sorted out appointments, my sisters car insurance and spoke to the builder. Lifted sister and left her to work, made dinner and put tesco delivery away, plus a load of washing and lifted all kiddies.

Still need to light the fire, more washing, homeworks, sell tickets for DD, leave sister down to mum's to get her car, clean inside and outside of car.

Johanne (((hugs))) don't let her get to you, rest up for your last few days before baby arrives.

Right better get on, kitchen list will have to wait until this evening when i actually have peace to do it.

Not too bad. It is raining here again just when I want o go to post office, think I'll tie it in with the school run as I'll have to get wet then anyhow.

Didn't get a chance to do much in the kitchen. I got my bank statement in the post and it really depressed me! We've had an expensive month - £120 to repair the car, £81.50 on shoes for the children, the dryer was playing up last week, and the repair will cost £60 (a bra wire caught round the motor so it's not covered under guarantee), so we went over our overdraft limit for 3 days - and were charged £30 each day! :mad::mad::mad: so that's another £90 we've lost which we can't afford to lose. I'm not happy!

Afternoon all

Been out all morning, DS feel asleep in the car so as soon as I got in I mafe myself start.

So far I've managed to get DW on and empty, jeans in WM before I left so now drying, dining room tided, kitchen cleaned and sinks bleached, downstairs loo cleaned and done a HUGE basket of ironing. Need to sort fridge later as its heaving with stuff, most for freezer or bin (gggrrrr).

Johanne - hugs hun, echo what everyone else says, just look after yourself and the LO and she'll come when shes ready - hey, shes a girl so its her right to be late!

Michelle - what a lovely sister! Glad you feel better with the house

G&B - ouch! hope your face feels slightly better, glad nothings broken

Just have a chill now with a cuppa before he wakes up.

tracyg

Oh, forgot to say thank you for the welcome backs:j

lil_me

Johanne, I have a WIL! You have my every sympathy, I agree with the other girls, sod her! Big hug from me aswell to go with the rest

Michelle, send your sister round here when she's finished :rotfl: just kidding of course, great to hear you've had help and she's done the bits we'd scream at you for doing!

Tracyg nice to have you home

Chunky hope they 'find' the location of the problem soon **checks implant** yes still there, at least that's in my arm and not 'down there'

Bit later in, I forgot I'd volunteered DP to sort my friend's car, so of course when she text to say her and Matthew would be here about 9.30am I eeked! Only took me 20 mins or so to tidy and clean for them arriving inc doing the floors so well impressed, before flying I'd usually need at least 24 hours notice! He had a right screaming hissy when he was here as got himself over tired, brings back memories pacing the floors with him upstairs to calm him down and get him to sleep :rotfl:

Right they went a little while ago been trying to log on since as loads of emails to send, needed to do online banking etc. Done some of the list but quite a bit to do aswell. Will crack on once I have sorted the online stuff. Oh yes then there is the studying, I think I might need a sleep first or a rest at least as I've only had about 2 hours sleep, bed at 12 midnight, 2am got to sleep then DP kept snoring and pushing me off the bed, gave up at 5am and got up.

Johanne I have been as horrified as everyone else about the things your MIL has demanded for FILs funeral. Whoever said she is enjoying 'Lording' it all is right. I would put red ribbon on the roses and don't do anything you don't feel comfortable with at the church. It is a difficult enough time as it is without additional pressures. About the hymns, having had Mum and Dads frunerals to organise, you can't ever get it right anyway. I got loads of grief from a relative because at Mums funeral Mass I chose wrong sort of hymns for different times of the Mass!!

Also I'd have the baby before Friday to spite her!! Isn't raspberry tea meant to help too.
