    Morning all
    I've finished my list for today. Just waiting for lunch to cook and then I'm off to the hospital for my nerve blocks. Wish me luck as I've not had them before and people say they are painful. Will hopefully be back later.
    Have a good day everyone

    I've been flying a bit today but off piste.
    1. I've made some salmon fishcakes with the remains of the mash from last night for my lunch.
    2. Put the dishwasher on a cleaning cycle.
    3. Done one load of washing - put it out on the line for a bit and have just brought it back in - almost dry but not quite - but the rain is now about to start (v. strong winds here) and it's on the airer in the kitchen.
    4. Also mucked out the loo
    5. Cleared a pile of paperwork off the kitchen table that seems to have just grown overnight!
    6. Fed the birds
    Got some oven chips cooking at the moment as soon as they're nearly ready, I'll cook up the fishcakes with a bit of salad - yum!

    Morning (just)
    Mumoffour – hope DDs excema is ok. My DS has it though I’m amazed how much it’s cleared up since we got rid of carpets downstairs. He still has a carpet in his bedroom but as the dog is mainly downstairs I think it was the yuck in that carpet that made him worse. Don’t blame you hiding the cables…can’t they just be monsters!!! I’d definitely let them do the garage but then I’m evil too!!!
    Soappie – hope you’re feeling better today.
    AnW’smum – welcome back, hope you had a fab holiday, sounds like you did.
    Burlesque babe – it’s a pain when work gets in the way but you did better than me. The days I work I don’t always even get level one done!!
    Davegirl1 – good luck at the hospital, thinking of you xx
    Bo – you be a good little doggy for your mum and get better quickly!!! Repeat after me – I DO NOT LIKE TYRES!
    Serena – I couldn’t agree more…the longer you do this thread the less needs doing the next time you do it. I’m only doing the whole house this week because I hate coming home to mess after a holiday.


    My list:
    - vacuum (will do this tonight when the children have gone to bed)
    - clean floor downstairs (ditto)
    - s/s anything that needs it

    List for tomorrow if I get time:
    - home manicure for me
    - [STRIKE]home pedicure for me[/STRIKE]
    - home manicure for DD
    - home pedicure for DD [STRIKE]
    - wax eyebrows
    - tint eyelashes
    [/STRIKE]


    I'll join in the HHC at 12.... xx

    Uugh

    I just cannot get motivated today. Dispute with ex has reared it's ugly head again. :mad: So I have decided to s*d it. Let CSA get the money out of him. He gives me some - but not what CSA say he should. Last week he told me he had cleared arrears. Turns out he hasn't. :mad: So they will tap his wages direct. I need to get his sorted sooner rather than later not least because he is now planning to move in with the latest girlfriend. What an example he sets his kids.:mad: 3 girlfriends in 4 years, two of whom he will have moved in with. And here? Not an 'uncle' in sight IYSWIM

    Anyway DD has gone to cinema (orange Wednesday:money: ) and DS is meeting GF who is taking him shopping:eek: . Boy is that 13 yo girl having an effect on my soon to be 15 yo.:love:
    Apparently they are shopping in Republic :eek:

    I've made a chilli (Green day) so at least something positive...

    Started the challenge very late (20 mins in), as decided to file and moisturise my feet after my shower, so now have my little white socks on. I also transferred my vinegar water mix into my empty window cleaning bottle cos the spray on the bottle I was using wasn't very good and this is much better. Cleaned the bedroom mirror whilst I was at it, as OH keeps putting his grubby fingers on it when he opens the wardrobe.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    PPI Party Pooper
    Havent really done much off list, have however sanded down the windowsill in bedroom and given it a second coat of gloss, and have done the 1/2 wall that didnt get done last week as it needed filled. So bedroom is pretty much finished, do need to redo door but i am limiting my time with gloss paint as it makes me feel ill:o
