Justamum

Monday - bathroom, study and other grotty places!
All done, including wiping down the doors and skirting boards!
Extras -
Tuesday - no laughing.. KITCHEN!!
Gave my kitchen a good once-over on Sunday when I was listening to the Archers omnibus, so it just needs to be kept tidy and wiped. I might just confuse everybody though and swap the cutlery drawer contents over with the drawer which has all my cooking utensils in
Extras

1. Clean filters and drawers and door seals
2. [STRIKE]HHI[/STRIKE] All ironing now done.

My list for today, plus

1. Do some baking with DD2 (didn't get round to it yesterday - ran out of time!). I've run out of things for lunchboxes (mainly because I have a greedy family who will eat all the goodies within a couple of days, no matter how many things I get in :mad:)
2. [STRIKE]Buy bus ticket for DH[/STRIKE]
3. [STRIKE]Collect Child Benefit and do a bit of shopping (no pasta, rice or tinned tomatoes in - need to go to Tesco for those really as prices at the local supermarket are pretty scary on those things but not going to 'the big city' until Friday)[/STRIKE]
4. [STRIKE]WMx4[/STRIKE]
5. [STRIKE]TD x 4 [/STRIKE] and put away
6. Finalise those last minute presents you have to buy..Doing that on Friday when DH is having the day off to come with me.
   
7. [STRIKE]Post all the cards you need to post[/STRIKE]
8. Finish wrapping all the presents
9. Finalise shopping orders/lists for your christmas food shop.. remember shops are only closed for one day!!!! No idea what we're going to have - except loads and loads of roast potatoes :rotfl:Think I might start peeling and parboiling some of them this evening ready to freeze
   
10. [STRIKE]Sew some more badges on DS's cubs uniform [/STRIKE]

That's me for the day. I think an early night sounds like a good idea, so I'm going to make myself a :coffee: and go up.

Pink fairy............does your place of work have air-conditioning??????

a freind of mine many years ago had horrendous problems and after getting rid of dog spending hundreds on anti allergy stuff around the house...finally found it was the air conditioner at work

Good thought, but not the right one I'm afraid. I'm a peripatetic NVQ Assessor so chase like a lunatic from Care home to Care home, doing key skills and technical certificate training as well as lurking around behind candidates doing observations.

I had to leave this mid type as the phone rang. Someone who I was very friendly with when we lived in Germany! We kept in contact for years, then lost touch just before I knew I was expecting DS. I finally tracked her down last year and she was calling to say she's coming to Bristol and Cardiff next March, so put it in my diary. If we can do this right, she's also trying to get our other neighbour to travel from Berwick to Peterborough to meet her, then travel on together to here!:j:j:j

I'm off to bed now, so goodnight all, and God Bless. x

soappie

Got stuck watching Judge John Deed :rolleyes: so not quite as early to bed as I should have been but off now.
