Sorry, may have mislead! I escaped over the border to West Yorks some years ago but I did live in the Hull vicinity between the ages of 8 and 18. OH grew up in the East Riding too. And we are frequent visitors - all dd's grandparents still live there and various other relations. Some say we should just move back rather than keep wearing out the M62...

*SSL gets her map out*

Oh I'm confused! Ok, so Hull is actually called Kingston Upon Hull? Hmm, I know the other end of the M62 lol.

Pigpen, if Hull get into the premiership, I'll come and visit you when Everton play them. (I think you're fairly safe )

Mainly need to sort laundry room today - its a tip so,
[STRIKE]
Empty TD
Empty WM
[/STRIKE]
Sheets wash
[STRIKE]
Empty all bins
Washing up
Kitchen drawer
[/STRIKE]
HHI x 2
[STRIKE]29 fling boogie - there's bits of carp all over the house[/STRIKE]
Make bread rolls
Write invites (first 20)

Well, the house is starting to look tidier but my ironing pile is tottering - guessthat's the next to tackle - i'll beginwith a HHI and see where I go from there - anyone else fancy a HHI from 2.30 - 3.00? Lets get rid of the piles (of ironing tee hee)

Decided to start from back door and work in so rear hall and downstairs loo deep cleaned - plus WM and TD filters, etc. Three lots of DH tools dumped in the garage. Baskets removed from under kitchen table and put on hatshelf - one for gardening stuff, one for sun hats etc, and one for dog stuff. Only been under the table for about six weeks.

Kitchen next. HHC till 2.50 when I have to collect DS1.

taurusgb - are you reading anything interesting? I have nothing to read and have re-read everything too recently to start again. Not a great fan of modern fiction so I need to find a new 'old' author who was suitably prolific!

He swore lots, especially when another bolt snapped and we can't get a new one until tomorrow, so the car is sat on the floor with a closed jack sort of keeping it up as the axle stand also broke, stupid car, stupid garage for not having the bolts and stupid bolt for snapping. Anyway that stopped play, he's now gone out with his Mother (who's barely said 2 words to the boys since she came back, ignorant witch) so I'll have tantrums when I either have to drag DS2 home instead of the park to get DS1 or otherway round if someone watches DS2 for me and DS1 doesn't want to go back to the park to get his brother. Joys.

I have tidied the kitchen, emptied the DW and done the filter, that's about it so far. Soft play tonight and taking DS2s friend with us so DP had better be back! Need to go collect DS2 in a mo so will do online banking etc now.

Hi to all the newbies.

Kitchen and dining room all sparkly now.

Got some upvc cleaner from Aldi for less than £1.50 and it is fantastic. The conservatory frames and ledges look great. Will have to attack the outside next. The roof is starting to turn green - ugh.

Also done 4 pages of the kids scrapbooks - they are looking pretty good considering this is my first attempt.

Just got the dinner to do and some ironing this evening. Just off to the doctors in a minute so DH is having to get the kids from school - about time he made himself useful lol.

Afternoon - quite a nice day here, apart from some muppet starting a fire on the allotments out the back, and the police knocking on the door to tell us the fire may have been contaminated with asbestos so don't go out.

So, one load of washing that was on the line is now rewashed. I'm pretty peeved as two of the baby's grobags were out there, and they won't dry now inside, and can't go outside again today. Some people are real tools aren't they.

We did go out for a lovely walk at Rother Valley country park - spent about 2 hours there and DS1 had a lovely time.

My other good news of the day was i weighed myself this morning and it came in at 11st5. That is 5Ibs less than when i got married, and i spent ages dieting to do that. That is a good incentive to breastfeed. I think i will try to get to about 10 1/2 stone. It will be the lightest i have been in about 8 years. And i am eating like a pig at the moment.

Suppose i should try and do some flying - DH is having a bath after cutting his hair. DS1 is napping after all that exercise.

my list for the week:

• [strike]change water in 2 lots of flowers[/strike]
• make up spare bed for MIL staying
• clear ironing pile
• put up height chart in DS's new room
• mon - [STRIKE]make cold meat, egg and chips for dinner,[/STRIKE] [strike]take DSs out somewhere for a walk[/strike]

• wash cushions from living room
• [strike]flea treat cats[/strike]
• pay DS2's cheque into the bank
• make an appointment to open DS2 a bank account

extras:

• washed load of my dark clothes, then rewashed it
• flea sprayed all of the living room furry cushions, and cat bean bag and scratching post
• dealt with post

flea treatment i also use vetuk like pigpen - if it seems dear now, subscribe to their newsletter cos they give out codes. They did 20% off frontline about a month or so ago - i ordered 6 months supply of it I get all my specialist cat kidney food from here - i think they are super at customer service


oh, and can't remember who asked - MIL coming on thursday - she will be staying a couple of days, and no, i won't get her to fly as she has an ironing and cleaning lady so not actually any good at any flytasks apart from cooking - she can entertain DS1 while i sleep and i may retain some sanity during the visit.

Michelle, x
