Morning ladies.
Thought i would pop in, 1st time in nearly 2 weeks, but life is pretty manic here. Last time i posted we were frantically cleaning for DS2's 1st birthday. That went really well, but since then i have been too busy at work really to get much done, and DS2 has been poorly with a chest infection so on antibiotics.
I've been marking SAT papers, writing reports, and planning and marking, and having a lesson observation which i didn't feel went well but then again i haven't had feedback yet.. Housework wise, i put the boys in nursery on one of my non-work days so i could get the school work done, so i've managed to change the kids beds and do some loads of washing on that day, empty the bathroom and kitchen bins, and that is pretty much about it. Oh, and washed and wiped the plants.
So, today....
Weather is miserable, kids are poopered and so am i, and i have a sore throat too, but i know i need to try and do some stuff as the in-laws are calling in again on their way back from their hols in Scotland, so i need to do something. Not sure what yet but i will report back later.

Afternoon all
I've done one load of washing today, put a few bits out on the line but it's looking very iffy out there. I cut the back grass first.
I've S&Sd the kitchen and bathroom and dusted the living room and computer desk (managed to get rid of the crumb that was making the caps key stick) and I've vacuumed right through downstairs.
Hope everyone's OK.0 -
