yadd I wouldn't feel bad about the chocolate consumption....just look at it as though you were just topping up your "Happy Hormones" (best excuse in the world...especially to justify eating chocolate to a man...I mean what man wouldn't want your hormones to be happy!!!!)

tortoise · 12/06/2007 11:21

Ok, I have done 15 mins now.

Downstairs bathroom sparkling clean.

Off upstairs now.

tortoise · 12/06/2007 12:13

Upstairs loo, sink and floor now clean. Also wiped down the radiator. It had rather suspicious yellow splodges on it . Damn boys!

shouldbe · 12/06/2007 12:19

Well, I have been out since my last post and so have done nothing more to the house!
PIL arrive in an hour and ds needs collecting in about 30mins. Dh and I have almost sorted the car crisis with some help from some v v kind friends who are willing to lend us a reliable car to take on holiday Hopefully it'll all work out OK but it's taken all morning to sort so any hopes I had of getting all my FLYing done this morning have gone out of the window!
I still have the entire list to do so need to get cracking and get downstairs at least looking OK before PIL arrive and then I'm hoping they will take ds to the playground while I carry on this afternoon.
Thanks for all being so kind - I was feeling very sorry for myself this morning!
See you a little later on x

Oh dear Glasss. Poor thing. Lots of steam helps croup doesn't it?

Shouldbe glad things are a bit more sorted with transport. I hope you get to do all you want to get done.

ludaloo · 12/06/2007 12:25

oooooh Glasss croup is just awful, poor little mite, hope she gets better soon.

shouldbe glad you got the car problem sorted for now good luck with the list.

tort well done on the bathroom front

Aufish good luck for monday too

Well I have picked DS up, made lunch, and now off to make a lasagna for supper.

ludaloo · 12/06/2007 12:39

BLEUGHHHHH not making a lasagna for supper after all....the minced beef I bought on saterday smells putrid....ewwwww (I am really fussy about meat, after a horrible spate of food poisoning as a student)

Will have to rethink

Ah well...I'll hoover instead!

tortoise · 12/06/2007 12:55

Oh dear Luda. I hope you find something else to have. If the mince is still in date take it back. You should get a refund.

ludaloo · 12/06/2007 12:59

hmmmm It is still in date but I put half of it in the pan! I have had a few dodgy packs in the past (from Lidls)I bought another one too but put that one in the freezer (I hope that one is ok)

Jas · 12/06/2007 13:34

Hi

Well decided to find a space in the shed for the guinea pig straw, hay, feed etc, but couldn't actually get in there. I have spent the last 2 hours clearing it all out!!

You can walk in and right through to the back door now I have rolled the hose pipe up and hung it on a nail out the way, tidied the bar-b-que out, swept, put all the plant pots and paint neatly on the shelves, chucked a load of crap out! Found a spot for the guinea pig stuff to go

Off to get DD1 now!

shouldbe · 12/06/2007 15:22
