    Morning all, i'm in with a vengeance this week. Slightly hampered start this morning though - LO is ill again so she is off school, got her a doc appt for 9.20am, hoping she just needs antibiotics and doesnt need to go to hospital. Her breathing is a bit more laboured than it should be, she is lying on the couch all cuddled under the blanket .

    Well no more snow here and we are not forecast any, but no sign of a thaw either (which at least means it all looks lovely and white).

    All of you down south please take care on the roads. :eek:

    Just had brekkie so off for a shower and hopefully actually do something today (like studying)

    What a great way of viewing it! I would like to do that too! My main area of focus is the kitchen, I seem to get really behind with the washing up and have to spend a few days catching up so want to get on top of this! Dot to dot, the next dot will be my table next to the sofa, then the sofa, then the armchairs and floor in between....

    Right Ladies and Gents I'm back with a vengeance!

    Having been working extra in December and January my flying has been pretty non existent, but.... the extra money I earned has meant I have paid off a credit card!! So feeling very good about that. But really looking forward to getting back flying again.
    WELL DONE! for paying off your credit card, that's fantastic! It must be such a great feeling! :T :T :T :T :T

    :xmastree: Morning All!
    You dropped me off last week - but I am beavering away in the background - honest!
    Monday's Level 1 tasks all done, plus all mirrors and glass surfaces cleaned, bed changed and sheets whirring round in WM as I type. One load of washing also in TD - no way will it dry outside today!

    I read other people's lists rosepink - just cos I'm nosey really and like to know what other people do.

    Still no call.

    Have put a load in the washing machine, including the powder and fab conditioner, so just waiting til 9am so I can press the start button. I should be safe by that time. Don't want to put it on any earlier in case "the call" comes late.

    Good job I properly made the bed before I got dressed etc cos little black furry has taken up residence again. He normally waits til everyone has got up to come upstairs in case he gets poked when he's trying to sleep. He's very good at sneaking past me when I'm on the computer.

    Washing up has all been done, dried and put away, apart from my fruit juice glass, which I forgot about, so will wash that up in a mo. Roll on 9am then I can actually get on with something.
    Enjoy the little things, for one day you may look back and realize they were the big things.

    Holy smokes!
    It's early morning still and you guys are already really busy!!
    Wow!!

    :D

    Well I'm all recovered from being ill last week and my house is in great need of cleaning.
    So here's my list:

    Monday - Kitchen and Dining room
    Level One
    Clear and wipe work surfaces

    Empty and wash out bins
    Level Two
    Clear out the fridge and make note of what needs using sharpish
    Sweep and mop floors
    Clear and wipe table.. add a clean cloth if necessary!
    Level Three
    Wipe all the cupboard fronts, kickboards and large appliance
    Wipe and replace all the small appliances
    Extras

    Hoover living room and tidy
    Change master bed
    Sort out paperwork
    Washing.
    clean toilet

    The MACAW for this week is:
    Keep the living room and kitchen tidy!

    I am SO fed up with the constant clutter and mess!
    It's not easy in my house as I've got 4 kids living here, with me and DH and some childminding guests on top of that as well. So with all these people in a not so huge house, the clutter soon adds up ofcourse. But I'm fed up with it! I want the place to look nice at least in the evenings so me and DH can sit and enjoy some peace instead of me being annoyed by the mess.

    I'm just having a wee sit down now after doing the school run. Tidied the breakfast dishes and the DW is on. 2 yrs old is watching teletubbies and then we'll have a little play before she's off to bed. That's when I can get started. :T

    Have a good day ladies!
    Happy flying!

    It's raining here (snow forecast for later... timing depends on which weather forecast I look at... met office says none, bbc says 6pm ish, metcheck says any time during the day!), but it doesn't appear to be melting the snow on the drive, so need to get dressed and tackle it before my 10am teleconference!
