Morning all! Just about to get started so kitchen is a good spot for me too! BBL

BiancaCastafiore · 07/01/2008 09:31

Morning Dream, FGS, and saggy

TMH best wishes for today x

Last day of the holidays here. We need to go to the supermarket then hope to meet some friends for a freeze play at the park

We always feel a bit jealous of my brothers lovely house but have come home this time thinking that our house is really rather nice (eps as it was left tidy) I feel a need to get on top of the problem areas so my FLY resolution for the new year is to keep up with my routines enough to enable me have spend plenty of time sorting out the junk in the utility and spare room. I'll be working at least one extra day out at work and another day working from home. I'll continue to do one day at school too but I should easily have time now both children are out till 3 to have a decent blitz on the house.

Hope everyone's well, see you later x

BiancaCastafiore · 07/01/2008 09:32

TheMadHouse · 07/01/2008 09:32

Morning all

Thanks for all the kind words and thoughts. My appointment is at 2.30 and DH is coming too. I believe I get the results in three to four weeks.

GO Hope school is great for Ed - I am sure you have prepared him well.

Pants start to the day. DS1 threw my tea at DS1 in the bedroom, all the bedding is in the wash again, including the duvet. DS2 has been showered and I have the carpet to clean when DH gets back from the garage with the car.

Supposed to be at mums and toddlers, but I can not face it this morning so will go back next week.

GO my Ds starts school full time tomorrow...so I know what you are feeling. Hope he has a good day and you are not too lost without him!

I'm up and at it this morning. Beds have been stripped (Kids have been dying to have their new pillow cases...beautifully embroidered by Bianca with their names on each...thank you B xx)
Just waiting for the sheets to wash, new duvet covers already on.

Shopping today...hopefully after lunch, as dh has the car this morning.

Kitchen is a good zone for me too this week...it needs a bit of attention.

Afternoon all,

Hope it goes well today TMH

Managed the morning routine and then went to gym for couple of hours.

Kitchen is a good zone for me too as I am hoping to get it replaced soon (literally dropping to pieces) and I have people coming to quote tonight and tomorrow.

Want to get mission done and need to wash out oven as I left oven cleaner in it this morning as its been smoking since xmas day.
