:rotfl: Already done that - he wouldnt do it for nothing :rotfl:

He wont be the problem, she will. If she doesnt get her own way she sits down and goes on strike. I've had to call OH when I've walked her home because she sits down and wont behave because I wont buy her choccy croissants on the way home. Mind you I have threatened her with Grandma staying if she doesnt behave :rotfl:

One of mine attaches himself to lampposts and I have only ever once rang hubby to come assist.. when I had 6 children including a double buggy and it was pouring with rain.. every other time I found a shoe and threatened to tan his behind to the colour of the passing bus!! AND I had him on baby reins until he was 7!!

Fortunately for me I am the 'scary parent' .. lol..

DD1 tried it on ONCE on the way home.. she has really long hair so I held the end of the plait ALL the way home.. she never did it again!

The other day DD1 (14) ran off and refused to come back to the house.. just messing not being a drama llama.. so I went over to her picked her up in a firemans lift and carried her over my shoulder kicking and screaming.. just call me Arnie!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

I'm in this week! DH is home on Monday so might just get loads done:rotfl: now that will be laugh! He has strict instructions that i want the front and back gardens done tomorrow, no questions:p ! The back is that long I cannot find the hole for my washing line (it goes in the garage over winter). But will he get off his ares ? Will he heckers like:mad: ! And i'm not allowed to do the garden so it's his job. He might just get DD2's chest of drawers finished at some point over the day as well. Been waiting for that since before christmas:o .

Anyhow, DW on (again) so hopefully that will be the last time today. Off to write a couple of strongly worded complaint letters to walkers crisps and loreal hair colour. Missing crisps and missing components within the two are just not acceptable in my book! Get DH to post them tomorrow. Might be his day off but he has to go into his normal work:mad: . They phoned on Friday night at 7pm:mad: .

Right, back in a bit!

Right, roasties are nearly there so veg is just about to go on. Then I'm going to relax. My updated weekend list ain't looking too bad....

• Print off photos
• [STRIKE]Invoice[/STRIKE] My email is down (and won't be fixed until tomorrow as they don't do service cover on a Sunday) so I can't do this until tomorrow evening
• [STRIKE]Put stuff on ebay[/STRIKE] Have put a couple of things up - need to do some more tomorrow
  
• [strike]Tesco[/strike]
• [strike]Paint picture rail and skirting board in living room[/strike] DONE! All bar the skirting board behind the Biiiiiiiggg China Cabinet. No-one looks behind there and it would take hours to carefully get all the china out, move it, paint behind it, put it back and replace the china so I've cheated by not doing it at all
• Tidy front room Have started this
• [strike]Plant up remaining plants bought yesterday (most of them are done)[/strike]
• [STRIKE]Sort out large basket in kitchen[/STRIKE]
• [strike]Wash throw from kitchen sofa[/strike]
• Ge[STRIKE]neral washing (about 3 loads methinks) 4 loads done in all [/STRIKE]
• Clean garden furniture and wax weather was too iffy today (showers)

• [strike]Buy wax for garden furniture![/strike]
• [strike]Order more trews from M&S online[/strike]
• [STRIKE]Sort out paper work in 'toy' box and shred anything > 7 years old before putting in recycle bin[/STRIKE] Took hours!
• [STRIKE]Find new home for 'toy' box[/STRIKE] In the front room
• [STRIKE]Start on the iron mountain[/STRIKE] Enough is done
• Take photos in park for presentation Weather too bad
• Prep presentation using photos taken Weather too bad
• Filing!
• Start the little settee re-covering Have removed the old covers and the old base cushion and stuffed them in my nice neighbour's bin - she's on holiday and won't be back until after bin day so it's nearly empty

I'm in again. DH is off to China on Wednesday and as he is the one that makes most of the mess and the washing/ironing the next fortnight should be a breeze.

We all lose enthusiasm towards the back end of the week which is why I have the childrens rooms on a Friday (and so they can help over the weekend of course!) and also why I change the rooms around because I'd have a magnificent Monday and Wednesday room (Tuesday I do nothing cos I am at college) and the rest would be a grotspot

Hubby will be back with the boyos shortly so I am aiming to get myself thrown in the bath after I've had a cuppa.. I am so stinky after spending a day in my VERY thick VERY warm dressing gown!! .. SUCH a slob!!!

Hi
I'm in as last week helped me loads! :T
Off to a better start than last week when I joined in Monday evening which meant I was a day behind all week and finished nothing. Got a cleaner start to this week though!
Tired after a long but nice and mostly dry day out, we went down to see the Cerne Giant and then to Weymouth, was sunny enough to burn my poor nose again (must learn to put sunscreen on.) so now look like a clown again! :rotfl:
Need a shower but will post my list later when I've decided on the extras.
