I had a cunning plan for this week....


Well I thought I did......this was what I HAD planned to do:
  • Deep clean kitchen   
  • Tidy up conservatory
  • Wash all curtains
  • Sort out the kids bedrooms
  • Sort out our bedroom
  • Get upto date on my ironing
  • Tidy up the garden
  • Sort out storage cupboard under stairs
It's now Thursday pm and I have only managed to cross half of them off!

Why is this you may ask....well I was not the only one with a cunning plan....the kids had their own!

There plan went like this:
  • Consume every waking second of Mum's time
  • Make sure Mum keeps us entertained from dawn till dusk
  • Use the house like a cafe, with drinks, snacks and meals flowing freely all day long with Mum being the cook and waitress
  • Get Mum to take us out everyday - sometimes to 2 different places
  • Spend all of Mum's money
  • Make a scene if Mum wants to go somewhere that we don't to
  • Don't let Mum have a lie in past 9am
  • Slob around the house and make as much mess as we can, ideally following behind Mum doing this as she attempts to clear up
  • Argue constantly with each other over stupid little things then pretend to be hurt and cry
So, there you have it.  I still have 3 full days left and I will try to do as much as I can....but it's not going to be easy!

Hope you well is going well.

  3. Sue I just had to pop over to see who the person is who has a Cadbury's Creme Egg as their photo, as it must be my twin. I adore Cadbury's Creme Eggs, actually I adore chocolate, lets hope the Polish Cadbury's chocolate tastes the same as the English Cadbury's chocolate!!

    Kim, I've accepted defeat on this one...to be honest it was probably a non-starter ! lol
