    I'm all studied out and printed so ready for Wednesday! Go me!

    Just doing a quick scan on the laptop then I think I'll pop to @ldi for some milk and veg.

    My bedroom is okay so can wait, but I've washed towels and now kids bedding is in, since I changed theirs last night.

    Conversation had with doc re DD meds so that's all reviewed and ticked for another year. He didn't have much to say really, just a tick of a box and away we go. I should pop her repeat prescription in too.

    Right, I'll go get what we need, and empty the kitchen bin on my way out...

    Oh thanks Bossy must put a big note somewhere to remind me to collect DS1s prescription or we will run out.

    Will do our bedding later, bedroom is reasonably tidy, could probably do with a quick dust.

    Up at 6am, 10km on the spinning bike before my shower, mince hotpot in the sc, washing off the airer and into the tumbler and another load over the airer. Have just run the carpert sweeper around and had a quick tidy. More paid stuff now then back to work no. 1 for a meeting later.

    LW I love brushing our dog, he loves it too, its very restful. And it saves all the hair being spread around the house.

    Right, better get on with some more work.

    Thanks for the thread Valli

    Evening all - thanks for the lists Valli :A

    Parents' Evening done but a 12 hour day has pooped me so I think I'll be in bed early tonight!

    List (in the hope that I'll find the energy to do something off of it at some time this week!!) :o

    Blissful Bedroom

    Level 1
    Open the window and strip the bed.

    Level 2
    Remake the bed with fresh linen
    Clean the windows
    Check the corners/ceiling/light fitting for cobwebs and de-web
    Dust all the light bulbs (make sure, now the dark nights are longer, that the bulbs are as bright as they can be)

    Level 3
    Dust the bedroom
    Vacuum the bedroom

    Well, my day went to rat poo, as expected. I did manage to get an hour of ironing done and tidied one corner of my bedroom before I was called away to sort out organising a concrete base for our new [STRIKE]tin slum[/STRIKE] static caravan that should be ready in a few weeks.

    And then, well, I'm not sure where the rest of my day went :mad: emails, phone calls, changing beds, working out the new phones we had to buy as Tiny had lobbed our only working one into the dog water bowl, after school karate club and cooking a roast chicken dinner, juggling small children and drooling dogs when carving the bird...ooh, and I steam extracted 6 litres of damson and apple juice from fruit picked at the weekend (delish!)

    Still haven't brushed my hair :eek: instead, I have tied it up into what I understand is this season's hot trend....the messy bun.

    I'm now "enjoying" the football. :footie: hmmmm......

    Dizzy - I wear my hair in what I call a "lazy mum bun" everyday - generously covered in dry shampoo to make me look a little less slovenly :p Your day sounds as draining as mine - have a hug and a glass of rose x

    Evening all!

    Pooped!

    [STRIKE]Do all the daily stuff
    Dust bedroom
    Hoover bedroom [/STRIKE]
    Strip and remake bed Can't be bothered!
    HHI not enough hours in day!
    [STRIKE]Go for run[/STRIKE]

    I have also done a full day of paid stuff, taken my boots to the cobblers, did some froggy paperwork and helped dds with a bit of homework.
    As for the me time Valli, as well as going for another riding lesson on Thursday, I went into town on my lunch hour for a sandwich. Ended up popping into marks and sparklers and buying some new boots, slippers and jeans. Not very :money: but possibly counts as me time. By the way Valli , hope your sister is as pain free as she can be. You are right about families first x

    LW got my fingers crossed for you for more dogs!

    Right, bedtime x

    Evening all :wave:

    Had a very busy weekend course, learnt a lot and had plenty of laughs with the other 5 people on my course and 2 tutors, both of whom I've known for some time. It was good.

    This morning I took DH into town and left him there to go to the U3A canals group.
    Meanwhile I had another busy day with lots of reading and thinking.
    Did WMx1.
    Tidied LR and our BR.
    S&S'd bathroom and kitchen.

    Thank you Valli for the new list, and Natty for last week's, but the next few days are going to involve lots more studying and several meetings, so I may not get much flying done (again) :o

    I had quite a surprise at lunchtime: DH came home from town and announced that he's hiring a full dinner jacket suit for the SW ball next month, so now I have definitely got to find a posh dress :D

    Hope your sis is in less pain now, Valli - big (((hugs))) to you both.

    More (((hugs)))) spoons and sticks all round, as needed x
