    Well Sinead was only sick once and is now upstairs very quite vegging out watching DVD's. Just hope school will let her back in early but guess I have to see how she goes today.

    Going to get on and do some cleaning in a mo before this house goes to the dogs. Off to clean the WM and then when my mum has bought me some gas and elec going to crack on with everything else. Got no hot water at mo and I dnt want to use the emergency credit so mum has kindly said she will buy me some gas and electric this week and she is putting a tenner on each.

    ONE BIG WOHOO............I am dealing with my British Gas Debt that was one of my challenges I set myself. I have managed to set up an agreement to pay £20 a week and that covers both gas and electric debt.

  • Morning all, I've been fairly rubbish this morning. All I've done before going to work is:
    Start DW
    SS kitchen
    Cleaned hob
    Scraped of worst bits from slow cooker and dish used last night that's been soaking, then cos I was lazy I added them to DW!
    Aired bedroom whilst in shower
    Made bed

    Sat at work now, should be working but been trying to catch up on posts, keep having to minimise when someone walks past!! Didn't make lunch either, but will nip home at lunch to make a sandwich.
    I know what we are having for tea aswell fishcakes, potatoes, carrots, peas and parsley sauce, though DD1 will probably complain as it involves mashed potato again - her worst- she is 19 though so she can either like it or lump it!

    First lot of paperwork done - I'm updating my old list in edit rather than keep reposting it.

    1911 - census goes online today - I'm being very good and saving the excitement until late tonight or I'll get nothing done.

    Kazwookie - massive hugs to you and healing vibes to your dad. I'd definitely phone up and see what's what xx

    My list for today -

    - [strike] walk children to school
    - walk froglets to park
    - fill in dentist forms for appointment tonight
    - washing load
    - clean hall floor
    [/strike]- study for an hour
    - [STRIKE]dry clothes that have been washed[/STRIKE]
    - put away dry clothes
    - declutter dining room
    - tidy up bookshelves in dining room
    -[STRIKE] s/s kitchen[/STRIKE]

    Muddy's challenge - go and brush your dog / cat, get rid of those loose hairs so they don't end up all over your house. If you don't have a pet then make that phone call you've been putting off or fill in that form you've been meaning to do for ages!

    Also, go and give your pets a hug! Our pud is at the vets today having her operation to see what's growing down her manky ear. I'm hoping it's a polyp, really, really hoping that's all it is xx
