    Morning all,

    Lots to do today. My Mum is coming to help OH with the decorating again today, so she'll be over for lunch. Downstairs isn't looking too bad, but she always comes upstairs to find the cat, so need to make sure that everywhere is spotless. I think it's a bit tidier than when she was here last time, but I want her to notice the difference IYSWIM. She always has a go at me about not helping with the decorating but I've told her that I help by running the house and doing the housework, so she'll need to see that I've kept to my word.

    So, as well as the things on pigpen's list (thank you for trying to squeeze in the 27 fling boogie for me btw - I feel all special now), I have to do:
    1. [strike]Meal plan for the week[/strike]
    2. [strike]Put 2 clean loads of washing away that have been hanging around for a while.[/strike]
    3. [strike]Clear all of the dirty laundry[/strike]
    4. [strike]Food shop (need to buy soup for lunch too now)[/strike]
    5. [STRIKE]Make up lunchbox ready for tomorrow[/STRIKE]
    6. [strike]Put washing up away and make sure any oustanding washing up is done straight after it has been used to avoid massive piles to do later.[/strike]
    Think that's probably about it. Need to go and eat some cereal now as I've put it down in my food diary but haven't got around to actually eating it yet. I'm determined to loose more this week. May add to my list to pack my gym bag so that I can put it in the boot of my car and go on the way home then.

    7. [strike]Pack gym bag[/strike] It's in the boot of my car ready to go now.

    Take care everyone and happy flying. Looking forward to the shiny new thread.

    PS. Will edit this list as I go. Yay! :T It's done!
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Morning all

    Just put a load in the WM. Wasn't going to bother today but it's brightening up.

    Prepped veggies for roast, not cooking it until teatime though.

    Took dog out. Washed up and put everything away.

    DH is getting ready to do glossing upstairs. I shall be so glad when this is finished!

    Morning all,

    This morning i have

    Made beds
    Collected laundry
    Dry stuff off airer & away ( Ds1 helped)
    wm x 1 ( Ds1 did after i showed him how )
    Washed up
    Put chicken in slowcooker
    S & S Kitchen & Bathroom
    Emptied bins
    Tidied Ds2's room ( Ds2 kind of helped)

    I now need to sort Ds2's toys that are in the living room. They all need to go in their right boxes and be taken to his room. Then i need to go and get some icing sugar to ice the cakes. The ironing still needs tackling as well and the wrapping. I'm sure theres loads more as well. Oh yes the wood & coal bins need filling. I'd better get on with it i suppose:rolleyes: .

    Ds2 is in my room with me whilst i'm on here. He's going through my jewelry box putting stuff on going look at me Mummy i'm pretty:cool: . He had my lipgloss the other day. Best not tell his Dad;) .

    i can't remember who suggested the BirdWatch - but i've just done my hour and spotted 6 birds in my tiny garden :j :T
  • Have been lurking and not posting/reading for most of this week - have started back at OU and I need to get into a study routine again.

    Hope everyone has had a great week - I see from the bits I have read that we have 2 more flybabies - congrats Jennybee and Auntie Pigpen.

    I need to get back into routine, especially getting up in the morning so I've time to study before work and still fit in flying - don't want DH to think I can't study and keep house - just need to stop pootling and DO stuff....

    On that note I'm gonna:-
    empty TD
    do washing up from brekkie
    iron uniform
    then HHS before 12

  • Morning everyone!
    Horrible grey wet windy day here!!!

    mozzy - if its textured then it will be easy to emulsion over - I wouldnt go taking off the wooden dado rail you never know what you will find underneath -you are just giving yourself un-necessary work there I think - what about painting it the same colour as the walls so it 'disappears':confused:
    TAG what a fandabby dozey surprise:T :T :T and a big well done on the scary cupboard - at least it is keeping DD happy and all her mess in one place - you couldnt have managed that if you engineered it to happen IYKWIM!! Hope you get to see wee Bruv again before he goes back.

    LadyL soothing & cough gone vibes for you and big hug for tomorrow - will be thinking of you - its another step nearer.

    soappie I am glad you had a nice eveing with NN and she was more relaxed - have fun with your puzzle!

    MOAM hug for Ds and hope he doesnt get under your feet too much tomorrow

    sexy whynot make sure the cat is downstairs and then she wont have reason to go upstairs and moan at you!!

    dusty hope your cold doesnt develop - you are fairly cracking on with the LR - a woman on a mission!!!! Thanks to you and kazw for the mention of the garden watch - I looked up the site last night and did it this morning - it was great! Will you manage to get your ebay things listed today?

    crafty snap - have taken my sunday pill too!!! Hope the mouth holds up and you feel energised after your shower.

    SS supergirl Hi babes! I will only manage to do about 30 mins knitting at any time as my neck gets sore and my arms give up! i think this is why I have put off getting back to it - but will have to do it as often as I can during the day because I am determined to get these things finished - will help get rid of some of the clutter!



    pigpen awh bless you -you were obviously so excited about sis and Tabitha last night/this morning that you were still up- or were you just in from the pub:rotfl: :rotfl: have lovely cuddles today!!! What a rotten thing for your father to say!

    Right I am off to do my dailies - loving this!!!
    And then I think I will do the front door as its brighter out at the moment!
    will report back!!
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder
    Live each day as if its your last
