Morning all I've woken up in a "get it done mood" already got a wash load done, DD is ready for school (except for her hair ), my hair is washed, I'm in my comfy cleaning clothes (aka embarrasing pants according to DD - they're only crop combats which are baggy and faded :rolleyes: ) and ready to let rip :D

So todays plan is this (hoping to be done except for laundry by midday so I can either study or have a bath this afternoon):

• Write Ex's card (its his birthday today)
• Take DD shopping for a pressie of some sort & a trip to the cash machine (to put money in ex's card - it is his 30th and he's in a new house otherwise I wouldn't bother.) after school and be back before 4.30
• Grocery shop (forgot eggs on my Asda order )
• [strike]Get ex to send me the email he sent to DD yesterday which still hasn't arrived :rolleyes: (only as its got the arrangements for tonight in)[/strike] He told me whats happening - told him somethings going on with the email since he sent 2 yesterday one to me one to DD and neither have arrived yet!
• Letter & CV
• Lunch
• Tea for me as DD is eating out (bolognese in the freezer.....will have to see)
• Washing (can anyone explain how I've ended up with this much washing when there's only 2 of us in the house and I only did all the washing on Monday/Tuesday?!?!?!?! :eek: )

  • hoover & mop floor
  • [strike]Dishes[/strike]
  • [strike]S&S[/strike]
  • [strike]Cutlery drawer[/strike]
  • [STRIKE]Rejig food cupboard (slight re-arrangement means I can have my coffee & tea canisters out on the side again which means I can rejig the cupboard a bit)[/STRIKE]
• Livingroom / Study / Diningroom (all in one )
  • [STRIKE]Tidy up desk[/STRIKE]
  • [STRIKE]Filing[/STRIKE]
  • Wipe over diningtable / coffeetable

Morning everyone.

Decided not to go to the gym this morning and get some flying done.

Going to see mum later this morning so should get lots done. Already a load in the WM. Then doing my meeting and greeting later. Need to nip up the street as well.

Think its a good idea to delete from the list instead of crossing off.

Bobby - my singing is the same :rotfl: Just going to have a drink and then I'll get on with it. :j:j:j

I'm scared....DD's school is doing a "rise and shine" thing where the kids do 10 minutes of exercise/dancing in the yard before school and this morning I actually got the urge to go and join in :eek::eek::eek: Managed to stop myself as I'm not exactly wearing the right sort of underwear to be jumping around in a playground of primaryschool kids and I might do myself an injury Besides which I think DD would die of embarrasement :rotfl: Right, drink.....

Morning all

Two loads of washing out on the line including the throws, lovely day out there. I'm hoping to cut the back grass when the washing is dry, the front is still short.

Dusted living room and vacuumed right through downstairs.

Did a water change on the fishtank (yep, still one fish) and cleaned the rocks and plants (plastic) inside. He can see out now

Kitchen S&Sd and potatoes peeled for dinner.

Coffee time!

Welcome nicci

Thanks for showing us the scan Pigpen

Lovely photos of your boys Michelle

can't remember anything else.....

pigpen

right.. to find my list!!........

lil_me

I think someones post ended up in the wrong place :rotfl:

pigpen, thank you for sharing that with us, great to see especially when we know how longed for this little one is
soappie, I still have dormouse-itis, hope you managed to get some good sleep.
Mudbath, hopefully your DS won't be effected by the bully. We've had tears from my DS2 that an older child who is already in Juniors will pick on him, wish he was a little braver, he's about 6 inches taller than this bully but such a big softy.
nicci85 welcome, love the photo!

Thanks for the well dones, the tutor has put 'well done it was a challenging assignment' but when you find out what you've done is very wrong when you thought you'd understood it, it's a bit worrying.

I really hate dogs sometimes, oldest dog was sick last night, I was really worried as it was red. This morning I gets up and there was more, red and yellow. Then I find out why, she's stolen a packet of chew sticks out of the cupboard, ripped it open and eaten the lot. I know it was her as youngest dog hates them! Wouldn't be so bad if she'd done it on the hard floors but she's done it on the rugs, so the vax will be getting used today.

I need to make several calls today inc to get DS1s holidays list for school, I think he's off different dates to his brother but don't have a sheet. Mad all these different dates for everyone just as an example this is the term dates stated on the county council website,
Summer 2008 Wednesday 23 July 2008 Thursday 4 September 2008
My youngest is off from the 22nd July to the 8th of September........It's so confusing and I don't dare book any more dates away until I find out.

Right, the list, well the boys rooms tidy wise are immaculate still, downside being of course is they've trashed elsewhere. They do need cleaning however.

My list

TMA - more work on Q1 and start Q2
[strike] Phone DSs school and get them to email the lists [/strike]
Find a few caravan sites in Scarbrough/Whitby area, phone round to see if they have any availability
Discuss with DP about when to go away - he'd made a suggestion last night about somewhere but there is a few things he hasn't thought about!
S&S bathroom
S&S kitchen

Friday - those frightening Friday kids rooms and spare rooms

Vacuum the floor, even if it's just where you can see

Oh look, number 3 disappeared

lil_me

Oh bums!!! DS1 finishes on the 18th (Friday before his brother) and goes back on the 4th (Thursday before his brother) This really puts a spanner in the works for holiday plans, appointments etc etc. It's just madness how different the holidays are within the same county.
