    2. Bake a cake
    3. Clean out any pets
    4. HHI
    5. sort through the summer toys in the garden.. give them a clean and put them away. or get rid if they are broken or outgrown
    6. Wash any bedding that hasn't been done this week
    7. Make a note of extras to buy and start yourself a christmas hamper box.. buy a few extra things each week and the money you'll have left in December can be used for treats!
    8. Get up some winter curtains, wash the nets and windows first though!
    9. Take half hour just for yourself.. go relax in the bath.. send the children to bed half an hour early lol.. whatever you fancy.. time off is prescribed!
    10. CLEAR YOUR DESK OF DETRITUS!! wipe it.. and get some of that junk filed.. I had a whole carrier of rubbish on my desk!!

    Morning All

    I've got loads to do today and the kids have got a party at 3. Hoping to do quite a bit off the list but don't know whether to just get stuck in and do the DR which is like a pigsty at the moment or try to do level 1 in each room. What do you reckon?

    Embb - fancy doing a HHC at 8.15? I think there's only us up and ready for cleaning - okay maybe not ready but got to be done!

    DH has gone to Asda - probably won't come back with half of the things we need but hey!

    Yep, I'll join you Julie

    Ready....Set.....GO!
  • Morning all.
    We seem to have sunshine so I suppose I should find some washing, but that means stripping the bed.
    I was tired when I went to bed, so why didn't I sleep better:confused:
    Should be up and firing on all cylinders not sitting here in dressing gown not even breakfasted.

    Had a letter yesterday from my dental practice telling me I'm due for a checkup - and that the dentist I normally see died end of June. I knew when I saw him six months ago that he was being treated for cancer but thought he would beat it. Real shock - he was a lovely guy (and a really good dentist) and only a bit older than me.

    Well all I've managed to do is take a few clothes upstairs and clear the DR table! I did tell you the DR was like a pigsty didn't I?

    Going to see if I can clear some of the floor now! Next HHC @ 9!

    Sorry to hear about your dentist Crafty - it must have been a shock!

    Morning ladies

    I was knackered last night so passed out on the sofa bed with DS not very late. DF also went to bed at about 10 so it was a quiet night in our house. Woke up with DS's arm around my neck:)
    DF has gone off to work, but he was given the location and time a week ago and has been asking about the job specs all week. Yesterday he heard not a word. Im going to be livid if he gets there and no one is there to tell him what it is he's meant to do.
    All this school stuff is just silly. Do parents really expect to see kids in suits? I really don't envy you and don't look forward to going through the same with mine later.
    Right, so let me find my list-haven't put it on my desktop yet.
