Morning ladies

minorbird ooooh how nice....someone else to do the housework for a change

TMH Very impressive list there!

Lucys have a good day with all 3 kids

GO don't overdo it today

Well I'm just about to start on the house.
DS is at home with me today he is still poorly
He woke up this morning with a stomach ache, he was as pale as a sheet and his eyes were all completely blood shot poor little thing, he doesn't do being ill very well, he always suffers more than anyone else!
He's an excellent patient though, lies still and takes his medicine and loves a nice cuddle every now and then. He's watching "Over The Hedge" ATM.

I'm still borrowing the neighbours washing machine....no idea when ours will be fixed/replaced!

Hi all - gentle babystepping goin on here - day 18. Just getting to the point where i feel all itchy if I even consider going to bed without cleaning the sink first - so something must be sinking in! (pardon the pun )

Have no more washing, after the morning load to put on, as for the first time in months I am bang up to date

Just finished the mission and couldn't beleive how much junk it was possible to fit into my toiletry/cosmetic drawers - everything from curtain rail clips, IPod charger, an old phone, tablets, pens and children's socks!

Feels good though. Thank you again for helping me find this, it's really working for me

Thanks Tigger. I think maybe i should call my supplier and check the pre-pay card will still work. I don't want to be without gas!

Hmm. I have just been totally shamed by my boys in the local co-op. I popped in after playgroup to get some t-bags on offer and we went down the home bit, to check out boot polish and they both started sqirting the washing up liquid.

I wanted the groud to swallow me up. I ended up paying for two ampty bottles of expensive washing up liquid.

Oh dear TMH. (Sorry had to laugh a little although not funny for you) I would have wanted the ground to swallow me up too.

Wasted my whole morning phoning around to sort out gas supplier, now have to pick DD2 up from school and i haven't got anything done. Apart from hanging bedding out!

Evening ladies

Just sorting the pasta for tea

I have sorted the mad storage cuboard in the kitchen - it is a dumping group really for the cat litter, swimming stuff, veg, carriers etc.

Also picked DS1 from preschool and walked to the library - borrowed 2 books instead of buying them

Also managed to sell two things on e-bay and found some more baby stuff to sell - yippee

I feel as though things are going to be OK for christmas.

Update on mum - steriods are kicking in and she is starting to feel better

Evening all, yes am quite pleased that DH is a bit of a clean freak... sometimes, other times its a pain in the bum... Nothings ever up to his standards!

Was feeling a bit stressed this afternoon, and I went a bit overboard in the zone. I have 3 big bags of clothes, shoes, books and handbags for charity. Still the bedroom looks pretty!

Shattered now though. Early night methinks.

See you on the morrow.
