Spendless Your post made me laugh so much!! That's the story of my life!!!

I'm feeling very pleased that I've got my LR done, and I carried on around my friend... well, I was in the middle of a HHC .... what could I do?? :rotfl: I also hemmed the heavy winter curtains that got taken down and washed at the the beginning of the summer. (and shrank cos I washed them in the machine instead of forking out for dry cleaning!!!) So, I'm going to put those back up now, before it's time to pick the nippers up from school, my big girl's (11) coming home from senior school on the bus by herself!!! :eek: :eek:

Have decided on baked spuds for tea, even though I've just had one for my lunch :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: I forgot how much I like them!!!! My OH, although would NEVER say so (he knows he'd get the plate wrapped round is head if he did)... does like a 'manly' dinner after work!! Baked spuds never seems like enough of a dinner too me.... What do you lot think??

Clean windows and all glass.. including the tv screen
[strike]Pounce upin the piles of coats and shoes and fling the ones that are no longer worn/needed/fit/wearable[/strike] This happened between the purging of the wardrobe and the landing declutter two weeks ago. Been treating it as a hotspot since so no build up:j

1. F[strike]iling.. find a pile and file itReplacing this with "start recipe index"[/strike]Started wee hours of morning-do at least a half hour of entry
   
2. [strike]Wipe down any paintwork that needs it.[/strike]
3. Binbag dance.. Get a binbag.. fill it and bin it!!! Nothing to bin at the mo-been really good at the non accumulation of new clutter
   
4. HHI (did someone mention they needed one?)

Also

• S&S Kitchen.
• Do dishes (DF put back out trying to get into loft for me today so not been done yet).
• Go to poundsaver for crates to store sewing table bits.
• Sort out sewing table.
• Look for stardrops.
• Deepclean bath and glass shelf (did the rest of the bathroom whilst DS was in the bath.
• Look for something to remove grout from bathroom tiles.
• [STRIKE]Fold away last load of washing.[/STRIKE]

My list of generals and appointments for the week

• Contact scottish power to change banking details.
• Go to station to tap in Oyster card.
• Toddler groups-start Wednesday @ baptist church, Thursday and Friday @ community centre.
• Call Salvation army to find out when Tuesday group starts.
• Photocopy September O2 bill and send to DAP for cashback (NB)
• Emails

So as far as I can see Ive done most of Pigpens list:jJust need to do the glass.

Didn't get out as DS has gone all wiggy:eek:Obviously needs a nap but refuses to go down so Ive had him in the shower with me.
Figure I will do the store bits tommorow after playgroup.

Must admit Im feeling rather sleepy myself.

Just got home from shopping, I now have shoes with no splits straight across the soles, have sorted most other 'out of the house' things, unfortunately laundry is about as far as I got with housework.

Dusty try www.chartjungle.com

We were wondering why council people were down near the river yesterday, now we know why, the place where the little girl 'went down the drain' is very near us, press everywhere at the mo. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wear/7604252.stm she must have been absolutely petrified. TBH I never have trusted puddles, but this will make me even more cautious.

Was considering doing the lawn before we go out this evening but the gardens are still like a bog, I just nearly slipping hanging washing out think they might just have to wait. DS2 needs collecting at 3.15pm, nearly paniced thinking was 3pm, so hoping his first day has gone ok. DPs gone out on his quad which he's just taxed again, happy as a pig in poo

Lil_me - I was just hearing that story on the news - how scary and amazing at the same time.

SS re jacket pots we have the following
Beans and cheese on top
Or take the potatoe out, mix with cheese and sometime a bit of chopped up ham or bacon - back under to grill with salad on the side
Or make some cheese sauce with some leeks and put that on top again iwth salad.

I've got rid of another 5 large carriers to charity/friend
Got some chicken and carrots for tea
banked some change into one of the kids accounts
paid the papers
just baked some scones for the kids for after school.

Need to dash now - Lil_me thanks for the link I'll take a look when I get back from school run

Poor soul! Hope you don't have too long a wait.

Right, taken LFD out, met DH for lunch and been shopping. Just had a cuppa so time for a HHC methinks 15.45 to 16.15 then into the shower.

Anyone up for it?
