Ohh - mega brownie points FAQ!

definitely - especially as it was freezing here last night and he HATES the cold (he apologised profusely on Saturday when I came back from having my haircut as he'd put the heating on lol).

I am been very lazy today I have basically drank hot ribena and stayed on MN .

I am going to have to do a mad 45 min clean up before picking up dc .

Haven't even started cooking yet ,feck it they can have jacket spuds instead .

There is no good time to look in a loft. It involves leaving DDs downstairs because I really wouldn't want them up there with me, so now is not a good time. Evening its frigging freezing in the loft and even darker of course. At any time of the day it is just the thought of moving a million and one things to get to the 'thing' you thought might be there and it often turns out not to be there at all.
Last time DP and I had a sort out in the loft we booked his mother in to come round and babysit!

I meant too of course.
I know, i can only do loft when dh is here to run interference with the boys.
think they would love to climb up the ladder and join me!

ComeWhine - sounds like a lovely day to me i do long for the day when they all head off to school and i get to avoid housework relax

ds2 resisting nap even though he's exhausted. got ds1 settled with Bob so may have to play yoyo up and down the stairs now....

Yes but JKS I have been truly neglectful and left the two dd's to entertain each other while I have slobbed ,they are currently dancing around to no doubt dd2 is so off to school tomorrow .

Hi everyone! I've been at an audition this morning, so just getting started on my shamefully long list of housework. I have a childfree hour, so will make the most of it!

-de-clutter living room
-put a wash load on
-dry wet washing
-fold/iron dry washing
-vacuum inside sofas

-clean bathroom
-cook lasagne for tea
-ds bath and bed
-pack and address parcel to post tomorrow
