    Morning all

    Dont ever stop posting here Pigpen - its not the same without you! And yeah I have all sorts of grand plans that will probably never come to anything either. I can sort of see you driving off into the sunset in a Purple Rangerover though.

    Need to get myself moving, getting way too late on a morning. Next week we start a new routine where DS2 has to be dropped off for the bus at 7.10am!!!

    So- plans for the day. Job no. 1, gym, call at L:dl, job no. 2, feed everyone, give the kitchen a proper clean.

    Washing to go out, little bit of ironing to do (I dont do much), online banking to check. Hope someone else will empty the dw.

    Right, on with the day - have a good Wednesday everyone x

    Morning all
    Welocme white musk
    Welcome back lauradora
    Hugs to all who need them
    Pigpen stay right where you are we all love your posts and it's not the same when you aren't on there posting.
    Cardi bow tie and bridesmaids dress all finished off. Slight disaster with dd2s bridesmaid dress I pressed it and it now has slight water marks on. Dd3 (bride has asked me to rinse the whole skirt area and iron it dry) so this morning will be scary doing that!!!! Can I actually make it any worse I ask myself?????
    Speech has been written just needs typing up
    Ds2 has lost his shirt so this morning we are out hunting for a new one. Nails booked for this afternoon so we are almost there.

    Will check the lists as well and see what today has in store,

    Have a good morning all.x

    Good morning - and it's a sunny one for now anyway.

    I'm just doing my happy-back-to-school dance.....duster in hand of course! I'm not completely back on track, as DH is "working" at home today, so that I can take him for an appointment later. I'm doing my best to drive him into a closed dining room by starting on Monday's list (finally!) and switching the vacuum cleaner on. Mwah ha ha!

    I have some errands for later, and will do some grocery shopping while waiting for DH. Running out of milk for my coffee is NOT a good idea on my day off.

    Welcome White_musk and welcome back lauradora.

    Morning,

    Wee ones back to school today. I shouldn't call them that any more, they are mahoosive these days. DD breezed in like she owned the place as usual, DS a little apprehensive but cheerful and happy to catch his best buddy on the way into the playground.

    I've popped up to town to return library books, grab a few cleaning bits and treated our furry friends to a nibble tray. They are just arguing about who it belongs to - even though it's bigger than both of them together lol.

    Have lots of organising to do today, desk dumping area to see to, but just having breakfast and messaging my friend, her mum has died suddenly so seeing if she needs anything doing at home while she's away. Poor love.

    Right, I'll finish brekkie and crack on!
    Bossymoo

    Away with the fairies :beer:

    Oh good morning migraine.. drugs wore off and I don't have any more, and can't afford any. GP is a stomabag.. a full one!

    Right.. today, other than the rest of my knitting, I have washing to hang out, phone call to make .. to.. erm.. crap, I forgot.. ooh... prescription people, I *think* I am exempt from charges but not sure so need to check (eta.. and mortgage bods).. erm.. I need to pick up Boogs meds.. but first I need to put clothes on the baby because she pooped in her last lot and go buy milk and sugar with my last £2 otherwise there is no cups of tea for me today.. we need bread too but that depends on funds.. and I have the girls swimming to pay for on Saturday.

    I only want to drive right this minute because I saw a purple range rover and loved it.. we have never had the funds but I WILL create the funds, if I have to pimp myself out!

    Welcome white_musk and hi to lauradora . White_musk there are a few of us here who also struggle physically. Just try level one, if you can. No rush to do anything as it will still be there next time round.

    I have managed to find some energy from somewhere this morning so have managed quite a lot.

    Open windows
    Empty bins
    Clear sides, wipe, wipe what lives there and replace-done

    Level 2

    Wipe down all cupboard and drawer fronts - don't forget handles and tops and bottoms where drips hide and dry - ugh-done.

    I discovered what I have always was that and a design fault around the temperature gauge on the door of my oven was yukky food debris.

    Errands run, DH's appointment decluttered, grocery shop done and put away.
    DD's bedding changed and now going round in the WM as it looks like it might stay dry enough to hang outside.
    LR list from Monday pretty much done. Just the windows to clean, and they do need it. But DH is now in residence, apparently 'resting' after his appointment.
    Downstairs loo cleaned. I will tackle the shower later
    Am just rewarding myself with a Chelsea bun and a cuppa. :p

    Good morning all, sun is shining it's lovely.

    I slept until 8:30 this morning, I've not slept that late in quite a while, so now I am no longer 'stiff as a board' I plan on cleaning my kitchen today. I have a galley kitchen, so most things are accessible reasonably easily, so hope to manage to do reasonably well with today's challenge.
