mission

Morning all xx

More dusting! I don't have much to do as I dusted before christmas.

Ivor I don't suppose you know when Matalan opens do you? A friend is going to give me and the kids alift in to town today...I thought I might go have a look as they all need new underwear and could do with new hats too.

(((apologies also for my rather morbid day of posting yesterday! didn't mean to make anyone feel uncomfortable!!)))

morning!!!

to do today:

• D/W DONE
• send parcel
• dust/hoover/tidy downstairs
• laundry
• buy some food at tesco

we had a nice day yesterday, spending christmas money in town. DP and DD got games and accessories for their nintendo DS consoles. and i bought 5 tops.

Morning Asleep (I so love your name...It sums up how I feel most of the time!)

You did well yesterday in the sales! I have actually done some online sale hunting as I'm kind of stuck here and the kids are poorly...but I really want to go and have a look around our new shop (Its only Matalan but believe me its a very welcome arrival!! There is not a lot to choose from out here!!!)

I have to tidy up around here too...I get very lazy when dh has time at home!

Good Morning!

I'm sorry too luda, it was me who got the ball rolling on such a morbid topic - have been worring about it all night!

Anyway...today I need to -

unload/reload dw
do 1 load of laundry
make up spare bed and relocate some of the junk from the spare room into my bedroom
hoover under and arouond Christmas tree
try to encourage kids to help move presents to their rightful places (unlikely, but worth a try..)
sort out food for ourselves and visitors for supper
tidy utility room??? Maybe....

would be fun to nip to the shops but can't face it - may look online at some sale stuff...the kids are well off for clothes just now (except socks - was hoping for some for Christmas but didn't get any) and I don't really need anything but dh could do with some new tops. We also would like a small TV to put upstairs and a digital camera but I don't know where to start looking really....
Well done asleep for your bargins Hope you get to look around Matalan luda x

May I join in here sometimes? I have started to shine my sink and to get into a bedtime routine but am just starting. Am off today to sort out some hotspots and to do a little shopping for food and a trip to the tip to recycle my rubbish.

I have just moved so still have sorting to do from that as well.

Yes of course you can glitterfairy. Welcome.

Hi shouldbe.

luda I think it is open around the 18th. Car park on the right is a bit of a pig to get in and out and park. I saw a couple of near misses one day I was there. I think I'd rather walk in from the park and ride. If you park in the park and ride, you can get off and on at Somerfield now, you now (if you don't ride in from the p and r using the bus getting a ticket then you have to pay for the return journey). There's a new stopping place there. I know it's only one stop away but if it saves you lugging stuff around then it's not bad.

Don't worry about yesterday you two!

Off to do lots of jobs I hope. I've done lots already.

Morning ivor, and welcome glitterfairy - I've only been around for a month or so but find this thread v useful so hope you will too

I'm doing my best to avoid any work as usual so am sculking around upstairs under the pretence of getting the spare room ready for my brother...I have done a bit and it's almost ready but I'm too easily distracted by the radio or MN or looking at new things with dd....it's too easy to avoid doing anything when dh is at home.

Where in Wales are you Ivor? My bro is driving across from Lampeter. We haven't heard that he's left yet and it's a 3/3.5 hour drive to us so at least I have lots of time to get the room ready! We may come over to Wales with my bro for New Year but haven't really decided yet...I'm not great with car journeys so will have to see how I am by the weekend...

Well I very quickly went to town with my friend. Its practically empty so we had no problem parking. I will bear the park and ride in mind for future though, thank you Ivor, the car park outside looks quite cramped doesn't it. Matalan opens on the 19th of Jan...or actually was it the 18th?? Anyway...went to peacocks instead to get kids underwear, they are all sorted now.

Hello glitterfairy nice to meet you

shouldbe we are a pair aren't we! I was worried all night too! I hope you are managing to do stuff, I'm the same...I can't get anything done when dh is at home. I hope your brother arrives safely soon.

Ruby Hi...glad you had a good xmas. I too have lots to straighten out!

Thanks everyone. AM working slowly today as we all have a Christmas tummy bug. YUK! Have managed to do some tidying and sorting adn am now out to recycle. My new home is in a non recycling area and though I thought this would be good I cannot bear to throw things away I once recycled.

Slowly sifting through the Christmas stuff and have ordered some storage from the holding company so that the cupboard under the stairs can be cleared.

I am a single mum with three kids 7, 10 and 11 and also a full time job setting up a new (ish) business so am hoping that by doing little things often I can keep on top of stuff. I used to have a cleaner but am in a much smaller house and am determined to do this myself. Still hanging on to the ironing service at the moment though as hate it so much.

Wow glitterfairy you sound very busy! How do you manage to do everything!!
Good on you. Doing things bit by bit is the way to go....Congratulations on the new house too

Hi Ruby glad you've had a good Christmas!
glitterfairy Good luck with your recycling, do you have far to travel to a recycling centre? We've filled 6 recycling doorstep boxes over the last few days, would hate to see it all going in a landfill site instead.

I've been managing to make some progress at last but only b/c dh has taken the kids to the local playground - before that I wasn't doing anything much at all. My list looks better now -

unload/reload dw done
do 1 load of laundry done 2 !
make up spare bed and relocate some of the junk from the spare room into my bedroom done
hoover under and arouond Christmas tree done
try to encourage kids to help move presents to their rightful places (unlikely, but worth a try..) a little done
sort out food for ourselves and visitors for supper
tidy utility room??? Maybe.... not done obviously; I'll never get it done !
Am feeling pretty good about it all again now and so hope to have some time to cuddle kids this afternoon. They're both v tired so I think we'll put a film on while we wait for our visitors....they should be arriving in the next hour I expect so we'll need a rest before they get here!

Well done with your list shouldbe
Have a good evening and enjoy a good cuddle!

Evening all.

Welcome glitterfairy

Well done luda,asleep, shouldbe,glitterfairy you have done very well today.

Hiya Ivor From your post you have lots to do, hope you got done what you wanted to do. P.S can we have a list please? hehehe

Ruby I hope you get a new hoover soon. I would have been lost without mine. The lounge would be very glittery still, as we made cards and decs and we used loads of glitter. Though we had a mat down on the carpet, we seemed to have missed the mat and got loads of glitter on the carpet.
I`m still seeing glitter everywhere although I have hoovered. Great fun and it did look very Christmasy

My day has been ok. Dc are getting much better. DS2 and DD nearly there and DS1 is about 60% good. Hes still sleeping alot and is resting more than playing. They are all eating much better now.
Im not feeling great but I don't know if that is b/c Im tired and a bit run down or if I have a little bit of the bug again.
I have been busy FLYing to take my mind off of it.
Todays list.
3 loads of washing. 4 dried 1 ironed and all put away.
Hoovered the whole of the house, after tiding
S+S the bathrooms
Cleaned off all worktops in the kitchen and wiped down as many places that I could see.
Unloaded and reloading D/W
Stripped beds and remade

Tomorrows list to dos.
Get some bread and milk.
Wash bedding.
Dust in the lounge.
Along with any daily FLYing that needs doing.

We are going to have our Xmas dinner on Friday. We should all be ok and not ill anymore by then.

Hope everyone have had a good day today.

Evening tort.

Glad you had a good/fun day with DC

Hi HN.
You have been busy today! Put me to shame!
Glad DC are all feeling better.Hope you are not getting it now.
We had lots of glitter mess after doing salt dough xmas eve.It seems to spread throughout the house!

Taking DD's to bed now.

Thanks tort, Fingers crossed that I`m not getting it and only feeling a bit low. I have only had a bit of toast today and I had to make myself eat that. Just dont feel hungry. Another reason for trying to do loads, to see if it made me feel hungry, but its not worked!

Yeah, The glitter has even got in the beds! lol.

My 3 are off to bed soon. They are watching "Bob the builder" DVD atm. DD singing "fix it" "es he can" she cant get the "y" in yes yet
