Right, this is the front room - as you can see, it's one enormous hotspot!
It will be my mission for the day - unless the weather miraculously lifts and becomes suitable for painting

Good luck soappie.......my spare bedroom looks like that! Had my bedroom decorated this week so lots of junk just thrown in there,was hoping to get that sorted today but may just tackle the rest of the house first so thats all clean and tidy

Anyone up for HHC at 10.30?

Solwaykid

I'll grab one of those cuppas if I may, Vanilla..

Morning all, love and hugs to those with men issues at the moment. I had a read of the last few pages when I was up fuming and stewing over men issues of my own at 2.30 this morning. Was going to say it must be the season for it but it's always the blummin' season for it.

Lots to do in the house today, I did a couple of days/rooms in the week after work when I had the energy but its still a tip. Boast (?) of the day is that I haven't done any washing up since.. erm Tuesday..
Good and sunny here for now so I might give the grass its first cut of the year. If I get dressed anytime soon.

Off to make a start, have a good morning.x

vanilla

Soappie were in the same boat today then:rotfl:

vanilla

Solway i'm the same about the dishes and baked beans are so hard to get off when left for a good few days oh and scrambled eggs:o , anyone know any easier ways to remove it other than scrubbing for hours or throwing it out?

Right time to get kiddies changed and throw them out in the garden, then start this room. Think i'll put the music loud and if that doesn't get OH up then i'll put stuff all over the bed and him.:rotfl:

If anyone see's me on here before 1pm KICK me off because i know what i'll like.

Good luck soappie

Heya solway :hello:

vanilla just let it soak for a bit, check it now and again for removability (is that a word?) and top up with hot soapy water, it WILL come off.

Now I've forgotten what I was gonna post........*thinks hard*

oh yes! lol did an inventory of what food stuffs I have in and managed to make enough meals for 11 days :eek: I'm gobsmacked ....in a good way :T and here I was planning a biggish shop this week....NO! I WILL NOT! I just need to keep repeating it till I believe it lol

So, done a couple of rooms, one being the kitchen, the other the dining room, got the washer going, but I've lost momentum and drive because I'm really tired, it's been a bit mentally draining this week what with OH having a life changing epiphany and telling me about it every night for hours (bless his cotton socks) I feel worn out lol

Phoned the gas company cause I had a letter stating they're taking me to court for non payment of bill, HELLOOOOOOOOOOO! I'm on a pre-payment meter! NUGGETS! :rolleyes: but they were updating their systems and I have to phone back....well maybe they could update my online account jobby that's not working whilst they're at it! grrrr grrrrr grrrrr oh they're so gonna get it grrrr

Paid my rent (I never leave it this late in the week ) sorted and filed my letters/paperwork, sorted the bins out and littley's done her own room :eek: it's totally clear so just needs cleaning/hoovering now woohooooo!

Cha97Michelle - if he is still hungry then give him more. Usually means he is on a growth spurt and needs the extra calories.

thanks for that - only trouble is he will eat till he is sick if i don't keep an eye on him. He has done this a few times at my mums when they have given him huge meals.

I let him have a small banana and 3 cow and gate biscuits plus half a cup of water at 10.

I think he is always having a growth spurt :rolleyes: DH used to eat like this though.

embb - it is www.spendingdiary.com.

I have just started using it this month, and it is hugely scary. I don't even want to think about the size of our bills, but i guess i had best seems though i won't be working all year and haven't got my usual income boost of doing the SAT marking next month, didn't think it wise with the new baby and all.

Thanks Michelle *mwah* now I have to start using it, no excuses EEP!
