hello chaps :wave:
Got back from our holiday last night. Had a pretty good time, it was sunny and dry all week, so since it was Centerparcs (Holland) this helped enormously - no brollies or muddy boots or dripping anoraks. I must admit I have come back completely shattered, we did stuff all day every day with the kids, they had a ball which was good. I definitely need a rest now though LOL We took them swimming for like 3 or 4 hours each day, it was LO's first time in the pool and she adored it. We did crazy golf which DD loved and best of all DS learnt to ride his bike without stabilisers :T :T so cute.

Have done 6 loads of washing so far. TD still out of action. Luckily it was sunny today.
Opened the post but not dealt with any of it.
Done a big Asda shop and packed it all away.
Done my nails :T

Tomorrow must:
- hang out washing
- return kids gymnastics forms
- work out a day to go into work

Today has gone quite well.

Quiet time at work, so left quite early. Came home and . . .

Vacuumed living, dining, kitchen, entry, hall, bathroom, laundry
Washed floors in kitchen, entry, bathroom, laundry
Went out and got some waxing done - - - ouch!!!
Come home again, decided on dinner, now off to prepare it.

Have had a call to say my two older boys are coming home for a few days next week - YIPPEE!!! Of course, I have to book the bus and pay the fares, but I can live with that to see their faces

That adds to my to do list - sort out their bedrooms and make beds, etc this weekend.

Oh I can't wait!!

Morning everyone. (especially Denise - i never normally make the same time as you.)

Jill, welcome back - glad you had a really nice time, and i hope you recover quickly. Center parks is very tiring - glad someone else said that.

Suffering from a touch of insomnia because i can't get comfy, so i thought i would get up and get on with the day a bit. Sounds like i am actually doing something but no, just eaten my breakie and had a cuppa, and fed the fat cat. (Pigpen - i think we share the same cats - one diggy and one smelly) but will make DH's pack up in a minute.

I'm also sat stressing about the fitted wardrobes, as we went to the store on Sunday and the fitter had not ordered the missing bit, and then the woman who we talked to in store was supposed to ring on Monday but hasn't. Think they need a rant again on the phone today.

tia you make me laugh. If you had the 25k salary you wouldn't have time to do up the house. Or have time to fly properly in it. And trust me, there would not be much money left after paying for childcare and the bigger bills. More money does not make life easier.

Anyway, going to look up the number for MFI now, and then it is ready for when i have done the nursery drop off.

Michelle, x

Morning, glad you had a good holiday Jill. Though it doesnt sound very relaxing:rolleyes:
If some kindly person finds my motivation could they return it

Morning All

Its lovely and sunny here this morning, always lifts my mood when the sun is out.

Not much on this morning, but going to see a hypnotherapist this afternoon to help focus me with weight loss

Right, awake now. DH also woke early so he has done the nursery run again even though i said i would. I have got dressed and washed, and am ready to start. I am thinking small jobs today, so i have written myself a tiny list and will see how that goes.

Morning all

Didn't get as much done as planned yesterday so that means my list for today is bigger! I am going to give the childen their breakfast and then make a start on the stairs and bathroom. Dining room was actually done yesterday as it is part of our living room. The big bonus for me was the ironing, which isn't finished but
I got a good 2 hours done last night, only problem is that the washing machine is going as is the tumble dryer so I just know it will multiply within a few hours!!!

Oh well. .... Will check back later with my list
