Welcome home soappie and LG
Wow, I got out of the school run this morning because DP has to take someone to the airport (pleased she's going as she causes nothing but agro) pleased he has as DS1s taxi was late so DS2 would have been as he doesn't usually get out of bed. I'm getting ready to go to the dentist, I go into Durham once or twice a year so going to pop into a few places while I am there, hoping Julian Graves is still open....may aswell as it's about £2 to park for 0-2 hours so will use the 2.
Right, must empty the swimming stuff from the washer and set the next load off before I go, TTFNOne day I might be more organised...........
GC: £200
Slinkies target 2018 - another 70lb off (half way to what the NHS says) so far 25lb0 -

gosh TAG - your daily list is as long as my weekly one :eek:
It does seem rather long doesn't it. But believe it or not, after a few weeks on here, I whizz through my normal dailies in about 30 to 45 mins, sometimes an hour. That excludes walking the dog and the ironing BTW;) (oops sorry greenbee I mentioned the 'I' word:p)
This thread makes an amazing difference to your house and therefore your life as well in a very short space of time. Baby steps to start with. Don't push yourself to hard and you'll be flying along in no time at all.;)

It's lovely out there in the sun this morning, W is fine this morning and they have both walked all the way to school. We used to cheat and drove to M&Ds and then walk the last bit. But we are trying to do the right thing, just need to be a bit more organised in the morning.

AnW'sMum + Miss A (8) and Mr W (5)
Valli + DD (12) would like to declare an interest BUT this is dependant on DS's football (Sunday afternoon league and/or whether Grandma would step in and do the 'cheering on' honours.) At the moment am unable to find out whether a game is scheduled for this date...
Michelle, DH, and Charlie (2), Sam (5 months) - we are definites. Can't believe i just got DH to say he would come too, and he will watch Charlie play so i can natter in peace!!!! Yay!!!! I've assured him that none of you are weird (or at least not any weirder than i am, which must have been some reassurance :rotfl: )
