lol, er literally accross the road. I can see my new garden fence from this house. I keep walking past it, just to check its still there. Might get my aunts dogs to go pee in my new garden to mark out my territory :rotfl:

Oh and we are going to the Everton/Newcastle game hospitality for BFs birthday, yay!

Fabby! Not too far to move then!!

So jealous re: the Evertone Newcastle game. Will I fit in your handbag...?

Hi everyone,
so glad i decided to join this thread yesterday. i'm feeling really focused now i've got a list of what i should be doing. i think it will make me much more productive, and hopefully realistic about what its possible to get done each day. maybe i'll stop beating myself up about the house not being perfect if i can see a difference and know i'm doing my best.

Morning everyone,
Me and OH made hobnobs last night for the first time:drool: , kids love them. All away to school with one each and can't wait to get home to have more. No sick kids last night thank goodness hopefully this bug is gone. Plan today is livingroom list and bathroom, plenty more washing to do. Now need to find the ladder to get up into the attic and things washed for ebay tomorrow.

Right better make a start.

Big hugs Lil-me.

Michelle hope it picks up for you, i remember my last one and i had slight pains all day so walked to try and move it along but they stopped, had abit of lovin that night (TMI) and next day they came on very quickly and strongly at 4pm had him at 11.30 that night.

Morning ladies!

luby-lou - I used shortcrust pastry because that's what I had but Puff pastry is probably what should be used. Both work out just fine, though. I stuffed my pasties with baked beans and cheese - they were LOVELY!!

Michelle - Take it easy today, girl! You're gonna need all your energy for baby. Your list for today should say - CHILL OUT! The house will still be there when you get back from having baby and you sound very organised so put your feet up or else we will have to get pigpen onto you!

Ok, didn't get much done yesterday so I've got a whole lot of making up to do today. Just off to my meeting in Watford so will post my list when I get back, ready to do for tonight!

See you all later! Ash xx

i've had a brain wave :j i'm going to print out these daily lists and laminate them, then i can cross off as i go along. will pin them up in the kitchen.
i expect lots of you organised people already do that! but i'm new to all this and feeling quite excited about the prospect of getting on top of all the chores:D

Just listed 5 more things on Ebay woop woop, could do with a cash influx, (hate doing books, you have to write a load of cr*p on the back) got a bit of RSI now, must get my mum to write Pigpen a note:D

Notes for RSI don't work.. I have it too.. in my left wrist.. 17 years of pushchair pushing isn't ideal!!

Gotta get a job.... Money has got so bad, DH boss said wages are to go down becase of recession

Flipping Gordon Brown:mad:

Right off to count my pennines

Ah that's not good news petal... I hope the £ situation improves for you.

Im back at work (yet again! gah!) and again wondering how im back here! i'm also wondering how I made it from bed to here and managed to dress myself, eat and generally look presentable as i still feel like im asleep... :rotfl:

Money-wise, there might be an opportunity to get across to the dept here with arguably the highest earning potential of the whole place... im popping over today to see if i'd want to go to it.... so fingers crossed i like it and get to go! (that could make the ISA look very healthy! :money: )

Hope everyone else is feeling more awake than me so far today!
