Have been working today but all the washing up is done am bleaching my dishcloths and my sink is shining.

TortUREoiseChamber · 02/10/2006 19:17

We are!
Have a nice pile of books to tidy up now dd's are in bed!

Evening. I have cleaned both the front and back doors, inside and outside I did that after getting back from the school run in which we all got soaked.
Stupid me took the rain cover off on friday to give it a good clean and did not put it back on. Its was great weather when we left, not 1 bad cloud in the sky, just nice white fuffy ones. Got to school and it just went all dark. I was hoping to get home before the down pour, but no. Half way home and it just p*ed it down. I have got a wet buggy now to try and try out before the morning.
Maybe it will get really cold later and the heating has to be put on
Just Ds1 to get to bed now and the evening is mine

TortUREoiseChamber · 02/10/2006 19:37

Im nearly in darkness!! 2 out of the 3 bulbs in the front room light have gone off and I don't have any spare bulbs!Hope the other one holds out for the night!!

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 02/10/2006 19:37

I have found these threads are doing me the world of good. Doing jobs that I kept putting off
Its also good to know that I am not the only 1 that needs a boot up the bum sometimes to get me moving. (I still have the print mark from tortoise`s boot earlier lol )
DS1 going to bed now and then I am going to load the D/W and wipe the work tops down and clean and shine my sink.

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 02/10/2006 19:41

TC...... 1 spare bulb flying over to you now.

I told the post bird to follow the smell on burning straw to get to you lol

jessicaandrebeccasmummy · 02/10/2006 19:42

DH is blitzing kitchen for me, dishwasher surfaces etc - bless him.

I will make more of an effort tomorrow if my fuzzy head will ever dissapear!

TortUREoiseChamber · 02/10/2006 19:47

Thanks HN.It got smashed on the way over!!
I need to turn it off,let bulb cool and put it in the side facing the comp desk.At the moment the brightest corner is opposite me.

SusiSkelletonInTheCloset · 02/10/2006 19:57

pmsl at you lot! you've been very busy .... chatting

took kids shopping and ds was ever so good! a 2 year old that actually doesn't run off and disappears!! -
was actually looking for some shoes for dd but i am not prepared to spend £16 on shoes she'll only wear for a couple of months!!!

hh don't understand why ss is such a bummer?!?! why can they dictate your life? and it sounds like xp1 has some seriously growing up to do!! -
you are certainly not the only one who needs direction to clean their house!!!! gosh, it's really hard work, isn't it

haven't done much flying at all. dw is finished (needs to be emptied and the few dirty things to go in), beds are made, dinner was ready in time and eaten even quicker, - oh and i bought 2 white boards earlier for which dp already put 2 nails up - i just need some string now to put them actually up (1s for meal planner - the other one a to-do list)

i promise i will work on the porch tomorrow!!! - i did the shoes and jackets yesterday so i am sort of on schedule

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 02/10/2006 20:30

I wont be feeding that bird when it gets back the tortoise lol
I use a cloth when I need to take a bulb out, just incase it breaks. maybe a cloth would be ok to do hot ones too.

SusiSkelletonInTheCloset I dont know why they do. They tell me how I am feeling and what I should be feeling. They tell me that xp2 was bad and xp1 is ok. (not this new 1 yet though) XP1 seems to get away with everything and they put it down as being my fault. If it was not for my DC then I think I would have gone mad or do something stupid. But I have to be here for them.

I hope to do more FLYing tomorrow. I wont put the computer on until after the afternoon school run

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 02/10/2006 20:52

I am watching Rogue Traders. I think I will become a plumer. £129 to fix a washer!!!

XP2 showed me how to do that and I am sure I could do that if I want to. At that price I will want too !!!

TortUREoiseChamber · 02/10/2006 21:26

Ive been looking for xmas pressies on-line.
Don't know where Im going to get the money from though!

theHAUNTEDhazelnut · 02/10/2006 21:34

Same here tortoise

Theres loads I would love to get but the bills seem to be getting higher and higher.

I am going to make my own cards this year with the DC. Better then spending £3 or £4 on good cards. (cheap ones for school friends)

I might go and get free view to save money with sky. Though thats still 3 to 4 months worth of sky money to buy. and I would miss the films, I watch them at night/bedtime when I cant sleep

TortUREoiseChamber · 02/10/2006 22:01

I haven't got the Sky films.Had to go for a cheaper package!
I was going to say hi on MSN but you were not on-line.
Do you spend the same amount on each dc?
Im trying to write a list inc price to make them more or less the same value of pressies!I always end up buying too much!!!

Skribble · 02/10/2006 22:52

Evening all, not done much flying today but I have stuck ribbon to 130 box lids and made up 60 bags of mints. DD is fantastic and cut the ribbon to length for me and DS will do stickers for me tomorrow.

Anyway not much flying today, I will wipe all switches and handles before bed tonight instead of 2 min hotspot extinguishing.

Even without doig much else the stuff I have done is staying that way and house is ticking over nicely.

Tasks do to..
Clean front door,
Clear out old stock and boxes from big cupboard in hall and fit all current stock in this cupboard,
Put all things that qre in queue for the loft actually in the loft,
Make an attempt at the top landing, it is really full of junk so loads of flinging.

Thankfully stairs are cleared already and caot cupbord done 2 weeks ago and still holding its own.
