  • Hi everyone, hav erather fallen off the bandwagon this week - work has been very busy and I've worked an extra 2.5 hours this week - I know it doesn't sound much but it eats into the day as I've not been home before 2pm each day and by the time I've eaten and caught up with post etc.. it's time for the school run. I also had a district meeting this week so haven't felt much like getting to grips with the tasks this week Having said that, I'm so much better at actually keeping on top of everything - I now shine my sink after each use in the kitchen and upstairs! Our MACAWS have been done each day too - kids as well! I S&S the kitchen daily anyway so now just need to go through and clean the other bits. Hoovered all through this afternoon; did my main Tesco shop and put it all away; went to the market for F & V and eggs; talked to Trading Standards about DS's shoes that have fallen apart and written to the Manager of the store to complain - they wouldn't take them back last week when I tried - so got my advice and now will take it further! Also completed the Council Tax benefit form; printed off some moneysaving coupons :T; put washing out and got it in - dry!!:T loaded dishwasher- just waiting for it to finish and then will unload. So all in all not too bad! Will try to catch up on some of the posts later but hope you're all ok and hugs to those that need it!

    Thanks for the HHC pigpen

    Washing in from line, folded and either in airing cupboard, on ironing board, or hanging up inside
    Desk cleared
    Filing done
    Piles created for: denplan claim; expenses; other stuff to deal with this weekend!

    Not much, but a distinct improvement.

    Will now put away bits and bobs in kitchen, then set off to do my shopping. If I get myself a DVD I can watch it while doing the ironing tonight.

  • Hi all, well big list is..... still a big list!:mad: have been shopping this morning as no milk and needed copious amounts of tea so I could work, but obviously didn't get any down me quick enough as promptly fell asleep on the sofa until 4pm... am now in a state of daze and thought would have a cuppa and get on here before I personally kick myself up the butt (should be fun :confused: ) and get on with stuff...

    Toots - thanks for the welcome back, have missed you guys... (I know its only been a few days, but hey, this is like a drug...)

    Brilliant, will have to get there early Thursday then as they are like vultures here and everything is gone by 9.05am... sleeping bags outside the door and everything... OK, maybe not, but I'm sure they only get one of everything as it's always all gone by about 11am...:mad:
