Woo Hoo!! That's the best I've done in ages! It helped that we'd blasted the whole house last weekend, so I just had to keep on top of it. :D Hopefully we'll get to finish up the desk tomorrow.
Right off out for the day now. :wave:

Morning all :hello:

I'm up before 10am on a Saturday :j Infact I've been up since 8.30 but been busy doing jobs I thought I was going to get my breakfast in peace (except for the washing machine anyway) but I can hear a heard of elephants upstairs which means DD's up :rolleyes: Ah well, the peace was nice while it lasted
ETA : Apparently she's been awake since 9am but didn't get up as she was reading The Worst Witch Saves the Day. She's finished it which means she's read the whole collection in 3 days :eek:

Fugging binmen.........woke me up at 7, they were sposed to have been here yesterday, our bin wasn't out. Rarrrrrr. I'm awake with a full bin.:wall:

Triker - the binmen have been a day late all week cos of the bank holiday, trouble is they don't tell the customer what they are doing, an advert in the HDM is about all they do and who reads that!!!

In that case I must be lucky - our council/binmen have stickers which they put ontop of the wheelie bins about a week or so before they'll be late due to bank holidays Its great, I just leave mine on the bin or at Christmas I bring it in and write it up on the calender I already know when my bin will be emptied in September :rotfl:

Now for my list as it currently stands...

Personal (including extras)

• HHR/S (thats Half hour reading/studying)
• Ebay listings
• Spend some time working on word problems with DD (She's asked for help with it so I grabbed some from Primary Resources... I love that website )
• Shredding... I must make some headway on this.. I feel the need to set up the shredder and do 15 things at a time everytime I pass it.... This will also count as my 15 mins filing won't it?
• Try to sort out new budget now the new financial year is here (remembering £2.50 a week for afterschool club to be added to "savings" )
• [STRIKE]Deal with vase[/STRIKE]
• Clean cutlery drawer
• HHI - Will do this tonight when all the washing is done
  
• Charity bag dance
• [STRIKE]Ebay bag dance [/STRIKE]
• Wash soft furnishings (will have to wait until the washing itself is done, clothing/bedding is more important!)
  
• Wipe over all the paintwork
• [STRIKE]S&S the kitchen! [/STRIKE]
• Tax credits annual declaration. (only arrived Saturday in the post )

Just need to vacuum the livingroom, and clean the bathroom (which I'll do after DD has been washed;) ) and I've done a full weeks list Can you tell I have an assignement due? :rotfl::rotfl:

The plan for today is to finish the lists, get all the washing done, and try to get some studying done. DD won't be having her "school bath" until Monday afternoon so she can have a relatively early night after we've watched Robin Hood Think I'll tackle the budget first though, shouldn't take too long to sort it properly. :wave:

Have just got up and had breakfast. I should have got up earlier as I'm aching from the gym yesterday and staying in bed doesn't help! It's still grey and miserable here, although it is dry. I now need to get dressed and get to the post office before it shuts to collect a parcel and hopefully post a couple of bits and pieces (Toots & sexymouse are waiting for some bits I'd promised them ).

Hopefully they walk there and back will wake me up and I'll manage to get a few things done today... although I'm still feeling pretty lethargic. I'll catch up with everyone later...

Well I can nearly see my DR table - I'm determined to be able to eat my Sunday dinner at the the table tomorrow!

morning pigpen - how are you and how are the assignments going?

Thank you for asking.. I'm ok mostly I think. finding it hard to get back into the swing of being alive though lol.

The whole house is a bear pit and I need to crack on and have no motivation!

I have one of the assignments almost done and was oping to get a cheapy printer to pound it off so the tutor could give it the once over on monday but DD1 has lost my bank card so I have no money until I can either get into town to get to the branch or can get a new card. After this one I have one more to finish and a couple to run throug ha resubmission.. ust a sentence or so missing usually.. bare minimum done here!! lol.m

when we go back I have to get the study skills elements run off which is going to mean going in for a couple of full days with everything and having various tutors to hand to look stuff over and tell me exactly what they are wanting! But I know I'm not the only one!!

Loads of stuff o sort with children though so I need to get myself a list drawn up.

Dustykitten

Toots I've finished Thursday and one lot of ebay listings now live.

Afternoon lovelies!

I've been busy flinging! pigpen will be proud

Dining room/spare room/pc room - all one room adjoining the kitchen with a wall inbetween that will be coming down as soon as the council get a wriggle on and give me permission. so, fling list:

2 x dining chairs (OH's having them)
1 x Sauna in a bag (OH's, so going back round there)
1 huge box of DD1's 'important' box of junk which turned out to be exactly that.....junk! binned!
1 huge bag of littleys old, but good dresses sorted for the charity shop, also contained random ancient videos, 4 carp ornaments, 1 thesaurus, 7 books (all now on bookcase) and a doll littley hasn't played with for about 4 yrs. Binned!
1 broken washing basket (!!!!!!?) binned!
1 empty (but useful) jar of Coffee - binned!
1 old car radio I was keeping just incase, WHY I don't know cause it doesn't even work. Binned!

I hoovered the car out too first thing this morning, it was a building site, I swept out 3 carrier bags of dust and rubble, chucked umpteen receipts and other carp, and hoovered it all out. Job done!

Now I'm contemplating throwing out a little table thing I've got cluttering up the place, which is my only hotspot in the house cause it's a flat surface next to the pc :rolleyes: I don't need it! will try and ask around if anyone wants it first and if not that's going to the dump, along with.........teenies old desk, two stools from the shed, large box, old hoover, 2 broken garden chairs, 2 bin bags of rubbish and whatever else I can find along the way.

There! it feels good to fling.
