    didn't manage much more than wipe fronts of kitchen cupboards off the list yesterday! I did my daily make bed/wash up/rubbish out/cook dinner though.

    I am part salaried, part self employed and Tue-Fri I have to work mornings in my salaried job so I can't start on cleaning until I get in - when I'm then supposed to AQA. However, I'm going to do what I can.

    Level 1 is ok as I only changed the bedding a couple of days ago. I'm going to dust and hoover today as a minimum on top of my dailies.

    How old are they? I would be very grumpy at that! I'm sure you can find lots of other jobs to keep them occupied today;)

    Yoooooooohoooooooooooooooooooo :wave: tis only me :D

    This feels very odd, just jumping in in the middle of a week and not knowing what has been going on! But anyway, hello to you all. Had a good time on hols even if the weather was not the best. Went to loads of places and did lots of things, worn out and need another holiday! We got back last night and today I have to get organised and sort out the caravan before I am back at work tomorrow. Picked up a voicemail here which said they want me to work at another branch just for the day tomorrow so it won't feel like I am back properly at work until Friday.

    So what's the goss?

    DS 2 is 10
    DS 3 is 8

    Mmmm there is a big double garage that needs to be cleaned out!!!!
    Or is that too evil!!

    DS 1 is 13 and really loves his sleep.....he is a bit like his mom in that respect:)
    DD is 6 and has really bad eczema, I think because of the change in weather it has become more irritated!
