I've done the landing and windows. Just having a cuppa then onto my bedroom.

DS3 in too scatty a mood to do his room. DS1 obviously does not want to do course work - he is playing with DS3, that never really happens (8 years between them two) so wont complain.

I'll join the HHC a little late - see you back at midday when I'll start lunch.

Kaz I'll post the recipe later today - it is easy

Morning we had MAD rain here last night, like a monsoon! But it didn't 'clear' the air whatsoever, another muggy day in Ireland.

Does anyone have any tips for cleaning walls - with DH about to move out to garage our kitchen needs power hosed! He bakes well over 200 pies a week so the oven is unbelievable and the walls are terrible - they will all need painted but I need to clean them first - so looking for tips for grand scale cleaning.

SSL - about to head to new job after 4 months off - couldn't face going back to NHS - but still anxious about new job/return after sick etc etc. So I wish you the very best of luck, wherever you end up!

Hello,
I have decided to give flying a go this week. I have lots of paperwork to sort through. Maybe it is best if I aim for level one and if I get to a higher level it will be a bonus. I still have no energy and feel weak. I can also delegate the higher levels to those who are more able, but still in bed!

Hi Tete, I don't work any more and can't see how I ever worked full time with 4 kids and somehow managed to get things done. But I did, maybe you are more focussed when you work??

Todays list for me.

Pay electricity bill
Ring council re house name
Copy all invoices for mortgage company
Ring TAX CREDITS!!!!!
Order two cheap shelf units
plant out lettuce seedlings
Get DS2 to phone Wheels to work people
Ring carpet fitter
[STRIKE]Give away wall units[/STRIKE]
Put some things on e bay.

Oh! and Tuesdays list

I'm not techinically full time but I have my own business - working from home - and I'm just starting up my second business so time is short! OH doesnt help but he is working 8am - 7pm (when he gets back from work)

Right - my first blitz is about to happen - my induction into flying. I am going to do an hour straight with my favourite music on and then I'm off to the gym for an hour, then tescos.

Ready, Steady, go!

Hi All,

I'm back in. Loved doing this last summer, but drifted off when I fractured my ankle. Somehow, I never drifted back in!!! :rolleyes:

Pigpen, thanks for the reminder about the toothbrush for cleaning. :j It had dropped off the radar for things I use to clean with. So this morning I was scrubbing round the cooker knobs, and cupboard front edges.... fab!!! *PING* sparkly and gleaming.

Got DD1 (11) and DD2 (8) involved by showing them the list, and getting them to choose/gave them jobs to do.

Consequently, house is looking a bit better, children feel good about their part in it, and I'm not knackered, and irritated with them sitting on their bums in front of CBBC!! :T :T :T Result!!!

I didn't get very far on my lists yesterday - hoovered the living room and sorted out the laundry so at least that was something!
We went to visit OH's mother who has just come home from hospital and then to Mr T's. We normally shop online so it was great to be able to look around the aisles but OH goes at a great speed!

Today - well it's just been a lazy morning for DS11 and myself. We are heading into town later on to look for some of the dreaded School uniform. OR I might chicken out and just buy the easy stuff like pens and pencils and a new school bag.

Meantime I'll put down the Tuesday stuff and hope for the best!!
