    So far we got dressed... and DS2 has got one star for a pee in the toilet. Too inconsistant really as I can't stay at home all the time so he can have a bare botty but oh well, no rush. He will be toilet trained by the time he is... at school :rotfl:

    To do...

    Loadsa dishes
    S&S kitchen
    Loadsa washing including school uniform and jeans for me for tomorrow
    Change kids beds (DS1 has a magic bed that sometimes gets wet all by itself)

    My own livingroom and hall list

    Hoover livingroom, kitchen, stairs
    Mop living room
    Clean sofas
    Moisturise sofas
    Clean windows
    Clean glass doors
    Tidy PC desk
    Clean TV
    Polish tables
    Clean front door
    Wipe banisters

    Tonight, I aim to get an undercoat on teh banisters so I can paint them all white.

    Michelle glad you are feeling a bit better and have had some rest.
    Primowino welcome aboard! I used to be liek you, spend ages dusting one orniment instead of tidying, but I soon learned how to just give a swish and a swipe to keep it all clean instead. Well.... more or less....

    I'm late here and we will be leaving in the next couple of hours. Have to wait until Dad has rung the bells for a wedding before we can go. Everything is just about packed and ready, kids getting more excited by the minute!

    Hugs to everyone, hope you all have a productive week whatever you decide to do.

    hello all

    hugs to GnB, pigpen, michelle and anyone who i've forgotten

    am enjoying a lazy morning, DH made gorgeous bacon and egg sandwich for breakfast :) (so much for my healthy week...) and am now surfing the net in my pjs whilst he watches the crickedt. think we'll nip out for coffee and cake this aft and to pick up a few bits at local boots. gonna be easy yummy dinner of fish fingers, waffles & beans with soft white bread. :D

    had a weird evening last night, feeling a bit down & friendless yest, still not really made any friends here which is hard (apart from great colleague at work), and then one of the girls from my old youth group phoned and wanted advice on something, I almost got myself v involved, but DH made me realise it's not my responsibility anymore and it would be wrong for me to so I need to advise her to talk to someone else. DH and I did have a massive row about it though, probably not helped by the fact we were in the pub when she phoned!

    my progress on weekend list is ok:

    wash up (DH will hopefully)
    Boots shop
    hoover flat
    change bed
    WM x 2 - bedding & general clothes

    clean laundry pile away
    swiffer round wooden floors
    empty bins & recycling


    am also adding:
    meal plan for this week (bits & bobs week before we go on hols sat)
    choose wedding pics to be printed
    choose africa pics to print
    upload professional wedding pics to flickr or similar

    4 months today since my wedding!
