JKS I started a thread on the rewashing question once and the general mn conscensus was not to

this is where I am going on hol, getting excited now In the little pics at the bottom the 4th one along is our apartment, looks v nice.

Not done a lot today, went to the park this morning then had lunch and then both dc's fell asleep Floors are filthy though, should do those if nothing else.

Hi all

ds had a ball at party although it was roasting in the leisure centre

didn't see anything for myself, got dd2 leggings, skirts pants & socks out of primark
and got dd1 a beautiful shirt/blose with brown leather belt to wear with her skinny jeans(she is trendier than me)

right need to get on with ironing or make a start on figures for cake not sure what to do
want to chuck out a pile of the girls underwear

oh and freak that looks lovely

Thanks Freak! and yes Portugal looks lovely!

Plum - your DD1 does sound trendy, wish i was but i'm not at all. Liking one of my new tops that i had to change into (lol), though it is lower at the front than i'm used to, maybe i should have a vest top on underneath? or relax about showing a bit of bra now and then?!

PLEASE can someone stand by with a sash and crown and organise a fanfare. I HAVE DONE SOME IRONING. This never happens in our house and only now out of desparation 'cos of linen skirt and frock. bows and waves to slatterns in queenly manner. ( though of course queen prob never does ironing).
Been a nice weather day here today, and not too hot. Frogs are looking happy in pond, took photos for DGS.
Managed to plant various things in places or pots to make space. It now looks nice and tidy when you step outside.
Put all cracked broken pots etc into bag to take to dumpit.
Washing now almost up to date despite washer.
Going across the road to 'Indian' buffet tonight, so no cooking.
Happy holidays to Wasting and Freaki.

well done minimammoth

The plan is to go to toddler groups in the morning, then to friends in the afternoons. The bathroom fitters are ripping out the bathroom tomorrow so will have no loo at all during the day, then laying the floor then doing wall pannelling (i believe) then will have a loo before they leave tomorrow afternoon. What doesn't help is my car is going into the garage tomorrow too, so relying on DH, and walking (which i'm not allowed to do too much of) logistical nightmare!

Anyway...

Wasting have a great holiday!

DONE
Get Dishy emptied
Put wasload on
Reload dishy
Find something to keep DD occupied (cbeebies - naturally )
Sweep and mop kitchen floor
DH popped back and moved some stuff out of the conservatory for me too, so that has made a huge difference to how it looks.

TO DO
(before 11am - oven engineer coming)
Just waiting for floor to dry...
Clear kitchen sides
Wipe down kitchen
Get DD dressed
(after 11am)
Tidy sitting room
Dry washing
Make beds

Phone Grandparents

I feel i have achieved so much by getting the floor cleared, swept and mopped. It has cheered me up a bit despite feeling knackered!

I'm ok just feeling a bit rubbish and down think I am very tired.
