Morning

Just calling in to say hello

Great idea to re-do babysteps - I found that really helped me last time

Have loads of prep to do for tomorrow when we host Children In Need parties all day! Feeling a long way behind at the moment so really must get my act together.

To do~

Hoover and mop everywhere
Clean bathrooms
clean kitchen
Put away some toys
Dig out fairy light
make party CD Can't remember how I go about copying CDs onto the computer then burning them onto a new CD....anyone know and can talk me through it??
Wrap 3 pass the parcels
decorate cakes
Find something to use as money pots

tmh you have to PAY to park in Morrisons? Good grief that's really shoddy of them. Basically in order to get the voucher and then spend it you have to do 5 shops at £40 or more 4 to get the voucher and 1 to spend it so you effectively save 4 pounds off each weekly shop

Thanks

Luda I did a CD last year but we've lost it Plus dd wants some new songs on it this year (fair enough)... I get sooooo annoyed at my lack of know-how!

The house is suddenly looking tidy Well, downstairs at least....upstairs looks like a bomb site as I am hiding all sorts of things up there out of reach.

Hello.
Have achieved zero as usual today!

Had a hair cut at 11. Then picked up 2 duvet sets for DD's for Xmas and 2 stocking fillers for DS's.

Local charity shop has a special toy day tomorrow. I shall be there before they open ready to grap some bargains hopefully! She said they had lots of nice stuff so heres hoping i can get some xmas pressies!

Bianca Have texted you. And i can(probably) help with CD. I often put new ones on the PC to copy for DS's to have a copy in their rooms!

I am going to have a rush to get to school. An item i am watching for DS1 for xmas ends at 3.06! Need to be at school by 3.20 and it is a mile away! Don't want to chance using a sniper bid.

Bianca I too get fed up of my lack of tech-geek know how. I leave it to DH cos it's something he can do and, if I'm honest, should he find out I can do something like that he'll A) complaint that he can do it much better/easily and B) he'll expect me to do it everytime. Thing is I have to nag and whitter to get things done

Written my fine appeal letter to the council and everything is set for tonight and lunches are ready for tomorrow.

Next door's builders are annoying me. OK I'm being unreasonable cos I'm jealous cos I can't afford a new kitchen and it sticks in my craw as I know they can't, it's just on the never never but they are so smug about it. By the by, it sound like they are building in my house. Feels like it's being rubbed in really YES I am and

someone smack my legs
