    Morning All

    Bed stripped and in the WM so that's my start to today's list!

    I've got to pick up a couple of items off freecycle tonight but other than that I have a free evening so I may get some floor clearance done - mine's not clothes it's stuff - books, mags, etc.

    Did some floor clearance in DD's bedroom last night and need to sort out DS's bedroom as the bed has got to be moved at the weekend so DH can finish painting it.

    Have a good day all

    Morning all

    needed to leave early this morning as going somewhere different, but woke really early so got up - nice to be ahead of myself!! Better watch I don't sit here forever though and leave late!

    Still no flying here, hope to get a bit more done at the weekend. DH is helping lots more now this set of exams have finished - he'd even made the bed when I got in yesterday - he never does that as he doesn't see the point!

    Tonight will be a bit of a rush as I'm doing girls' brigade again but hope to do some flying once i'm home.

    Hope to catch up soon - love to all

  • Hi All

    I didn't manage to do anything expect dailies yesterday and me and OH went out old style shopping. Trying to cut down on the horrendous grocey bill we had last month (£860!!!) so we went to Iceland for froze food and tins, market for fruit and veg and butchers for meat and Boots for Nappies. Neeeded OH with me as we had the kids in the double buggy. It was great as we spent just £90 for food which should las us the best of 2 weeks whereas i would've spent £150 in Tescos. Also did a lot of pureeing last night (Butternut Squash and Pear) so that should be the LO sorted for a while. Been up since 6.30 and have changed DD2, just waiting for DD1 to wake up now so will go and do the DW. I read a post on here that someone does 15mins on 15mins off so i think I might try that today, i have a 2 year old and a 5 month old and always feel guilty that I'm not spending enough time playing with the two year old so imight see how that goes today.

    Here's my plan for today (catching up a bit from yesterday)

    Tuesday - children/spare room
    Level one
    Floor clearance!
    Strip beds and put on clean bedding.. if you just did them do the duvet & curtains!
    Level Two
    Put all the disc in their boxes and the books on the shelves and the toys in the chests
    Sort through a chestof drawers/wardrobe and fling anything that no longer fits
    Binbag dance
    Level Three

    Dust and vacuum and wipe of sticky grotty bits

    Wednesday - Master bedroom & landing


    Level Two

    floordrobe clearance in the bedroom
    Level Three

    Vacuum floors in bedroom and on landing
    Dust and wipe any paintwork
    Extras
    1. Write those christmas cards and sort stamps for those to be posted
    Wish me luck !!!!!

    Will do my best to try and keep up with the posts today - there's so many of you!!!

    PPI Party Pooper
    Morning all, no uni today as most lectures are finished and now its just revision, need to nip into town to return a jumper. Then will probably alternate between studying and flying. Need to nip to boots and stock up on cold remedies as i'm starting to feel poop and really cant afford to be ill this close to exams:mad: Will dose myself up til i'm finished!

    Good morning all, hope all is well with everyone, chunky, good luck, i'm sure you'll be fine.
    Hopefully will be able to get the majority of the list done today, although DD is saying she doesn't feel well, but hopefully she will make it to school, they have a trip today to see a pantomime, and i don't want her to miss it. Gutted i can't go but we were on hols when the letters went out and there was only room on the bus for 5 parents!! anyway, she may be better behaved if i'm not there!!!
    Hope everyone has a good day, whatever they need to do..........
