    *Snuffle, snuffle, cough, cough* Hanky wash done, as we were in danger of running out.

    Alfie's postcard written, and most of his belongings packed.

    Bu88er all else achieved as yet. :(

    LW hope you feel better soon, or is it hay fever? Mine has kicked in regardless of the weather.

    Talking of weather, after a dry hour I hung out the 2nd lot of washing. Rained within half an hour then sleet......I gave up and turned on the aga and heating at 3.30.

    Finished one report and emailed it, now onto another.
    Mr N has taken MIL for her hopefully pre-op examination for her 2nd cataract.
    Answered the door to the usual unemployed/ex offender selling bags of cleaning equipment. I like to encourage these people, but I really don't need any more mops etc - I just need to use them! Now there's an idea; next time they come maybe I'll just offer them a tenner to run round using a mop............

    Evening!

    Well I'm not opening any windows - got caught in a sleety downpour on the way home tonight! It's nearly May !!!!!!...

    And I mopped the floor the other day. I guess I'm making excuses to not clean the kitchen ;) haha actually it's not too bad - I'm keeping on top of the washing up (manually :eek:) and the counters are clear and wiped, plus I have shined my sink :A

    Been at paid stuff, so really just collected kiddies from school club, fed them, smacked their bums and sent them to bed! Haha, only kidding.

    Still attempting to finalise a leaving date. Still hoping for next month. Boss man instructed to correct my working pattern on the system and my absence dates, it's was all wrong - meh. Also instructed that my holiday allowance and final date is to be sorted this week as I need to give notice on childcare, I think I need to keep nagging him... Honestly I'm tearing my hair out. How hard is it to just agree a date? Aarrghh.

    Didn't clock up many steps, although I've done 15 flights of stairs, lol. So I've done 25min of Zombies Run tonight, obviously indoors as the wee ones are in bed, so I used the mini trampoline. My ankles are now getting used to terra-firma, lol. But I've met my goal :T

    Ah, you've done better than me; I managed 15 mins on the trampoline.
    Plugging through a hard report but as soon as I get it done, I have an easy one to do. Had hoped to start that this eve, but looking unlikely.

    Cooked far too much for dinner this eve, so have it all ready in the fridge for tomorrow.

    So much for decluttering; 2 people were meant to come and collect the 78rpm records today and neither have turned up or contacted me.

    House not looking bad as long as you are measuring it by clutter rather than depth of dust :rotfl:

    Evening all

    Bit rushed tonight so just had a quick read through. Sending hugs, gws vibes, sticks and spoons as needed :o

    Had a laugh this morning. I looked out the front about 10.00 and there were about ten local council men, filling in all the trammels and holes left by the fair-people a week ago. One of them, seemed to be in charge, was then walking about scattering grass seed about as they finished an area. Only trouble was .............it was chucking it down with snow :rotfl:

    Afraid I'll be ignoring the 'open windows and let in the Spring' instructions as it was about 3 C here today and not forecast any better for the rest of the week.
