    Magnificent Monday ~ Master bedroom and Landing
    Level One
    Mattress vacuumed turned vacuumed other side and redress bed
    Wednesday - Kitchen and dining room DONE
    Thursday - Bathroom & Study DONE

    Friday - I'm assuming it's childrens' rooms! DD2's room is fine - I completely rearranged it last weekend and gave it a good clean (had to take the wardrobe doors off in order to make use of the space in front of it - titchy room).
    DD1 has been told in no uncertain terms that I am no longer going to do her room or even put her clothes away. I'll wash them (if they find their way into the clothes basket), but after that it's up to her.
    DS's room is usually fine so nothing much to do there. Just need to finish off changing the sheets.

    I had to go to town this morning to book myself on a patchwork and quilting course later in the year (only 12 can do it so I needed to get in there early). I did that, then went to put in DD2's passport application - only to find I'd forgotten her birth certificate and my passport!!!! Got to go back on Monday, but as the train has started running again I think I'll go on that (lovely old steam train)

    ETA I won't be able to get a star for Monday - I CBA vaccing the mattress as I don't have time!

    Afternoon all

    The wind has blown the rain away here. It is very windy, sunny but chilly. Washing on the line but double pegged.

    I'm in one of those moods where I can't choose what to do, don't feel like gardening or cleaning. Think I'll wipe DS1 bedframe so it has time to dry and then sort some of the piles of stuff in the family room.

    ok ok ok lol Im getting of my bum now lol

    thanks rosepink and toots I just find my life is so busy that sometimes (like today) when I get a day to myself I want to just do nothing. Then once I sit and do nothing it is hard to get motivated.

    I think having 'ready meals' in the freezer will help with the evenings and me healthy eating too. Oh and save money!

    Right lets kick start this now...

    ANYONE FOR A HHC 2.15- 2.45?????

    I've done question one..... in note form :rotfl: I'm doing it on paper AWAY from the computer - can't say anything specific though as I'll get into trouble apparently :confused:

    I'm literally having 5 minutes out as I'm getting multiple picture texts from a friend that I can only get online :rolleyes: When I next see him I'm going to rap him over his fingers with his mobile :rolleyes::rotfl::rotfl: Also just changed my password on my account... couldn't remember the other one so changed it to one I will remember :rotfl:

    Flying wise.... I've put the washing on the maiden and made/ate lunch while decluttering "Kirsty homemade home" from the freeview box and I've put 4 pairs of jeans out on the washing line, I daren't put anything thats not heavy out there incase it blows off. As it is each pair of jeans has 6 pegs on it :rotfl::rotfl:

    Off to pick up the paperwork littering the livingroom rug where I'm working...I really do work better laying on the floor working :confused::rotfl:

    Another clingy baby day today, so it's all going rather slowly... My mum was here earlier though, so she's been washing up and things! Progress not helped by doing daft things like not changing settings on WM so I just tumbled dried the washing instead of washing it :rotfl: Moron

    W've got to go out in 15 mins, but in laws are coming round to do tiling tomorrow (woohoo!!) so I should get to sort out our room while they are at it - motivation to stay out of the way and all that! (might get someone to hold baby too!)

    Afternoon everyone

    I'm home. Did Mr. T on the way back. Glad I don't have to go back there again actually as there are signs up warning of roadworks on the route starting in a week. That would have been a pain!

    Off now to fly - the place really needs it - before visiting NN for Gordon and gossip
