Popping in mid flinging, shattered, need a refresh break

Soappie good luck to your DD
Kaz, we're considering Feb half term but need to get it serviced first as the brakes were coming on when reversing last year. We don't do the main planning until DPs racing dates are released. We go away midweek so tends to be less of a problem booking up.
AnW'sMum I agree. Oven and tray liners I would never be without! I've even got a supply of spares.

Well I have a bin full! I need to go seek uniforms now which I forgot to do.

Mudbath

My house is lovely and spic and span. Not much to do tomorrow apart from two vet trips.

I'm glad i'm not on that plane in new york...mind you, it looks like they've all survived! Amazing! xx

milliejo

well have changed the sheets from yesterdays list. do I need to vacuum the mattress if we have a mattress protector on?
Have done todays level 1 list & the study looks better than it has for months - DH actully did most of that.
have also scrubbed the kitchen floor.
even after a few days I can see the benefit and DH must be doing too as he has just been in to see if I have checked what tomorrows tasks are!

IndigoStar:- Yes I am going to wait until I am really ready before I take my test. I'm not a natural driver, when my husband was ill a year ago, it made me realise how much I depended on him to drive us all places and in many ways how unfair that is, hence the lessons, but I'm definitely on the slow and steady path

Kazmeister ~ I'm sorry I just use what ever gluten free bread I have around as the base....then pile on all the things he likes, tomato puree, peppers, sweetcorn, tuna, herbs and drizzle olive oil over it all.

I think I can see some signs of improvement in the house in the last few days, which is good.....I still keep getting the yuk factor when I uncover something grimy and horrible which I would much rather not face up to, but babysteps babysteps

Off to bed now, sweet dreams to all the flypeople out there:)

I am also a little distrubed how dirty the bathroom floor was - I am sure I washed it last week so there was a lot of muck me and boyf have dragged in there... even more distrubed that i never usually notice for a long while!

Happy flying lovely ladies and gents - see you tomorrow

kazmeister

Apologies pigpen - think I need a big KICK. I have sat on my butt for 2 hours doing nothing (and even made OH bring me a cuppa tea up so I didnt have to make it myself)

I will go and clear away tea things then an early bed I think.

I have been such a lazy mare this week

that's the list for tommorrow, i also have to take dd to her toddler music group in the afternoon.
the new washer came today and it's fab, but when we moved the old one it was disgusting:o grime stuck to the floor. i wasn't too impressed with the delivery company, they turned up at 6:50am!:eek: i wasn't expecting them so early, i was still in bed!
ds had his 2nd jabs today, he was a bit grumpy at 7pm so i gave him some calpol and he promptly threw up all over the landing carpet!

pigpen.
can you remind me to wash the living room curtains next week, they are looking a bit grim. :rolleyes: ta.
