    soappie.. when we got our mortgage neither I nor hubby had either a passport nor a driving licence (I still have neither!!).. they accepted a couple of utility bills (council tax was suggested as it is a formal document.. we used the tax credit letter too), a bank statement and our marriage certificate... if he doesn't need a new passport then tell the mortgage people they don't have those things and there are other options!!

    I did all both the bedrooms together on Tuesday so that's tomorrow's list covered. DH did some clearing up in the train room today and that has been vacuumed and dusted too. I think that's all week done now but obviously I'll still be doing stuff tomorrow:)

    Bedtime now, night all.

    Well I haven't got my final assignment finished I am way too tired and it is so incredibly brain draining.. it is more than half done so the rest can be done tomorrow and I may actually still get them into college in the afternoon.

    Flying wise I have done 2 loads of washing, 2 of drying and loaded the DW once.

    I need to get my bedding done at some point before it rains and before I stick to them.. they've been on for at least 10 years I'm sure!

    Ooh.. I know what else I did.. I threw the recycling out.. all those bathroom empties and the kitchen empties all have gone! I still have the box of rubbish in my bedroom though which is slowly being filled... I may have to do a few binbag dances to clear some rubbish tomorrow.. my house appears to be devolving into some kind of skip!

    I have DS2 and DD5 off school/nursery still tomorrow so have to work around their peskiness!!

    Triker.. how you doing hun? You feeling any better?

    Love and hugs to everyone... hopefully they are germ free but I have so many I won't guarantee a thing!

    My extras today were
    3 loads of washing done, managed to dry all.
    Spent ages with kids planting veggies we grew into big pots.
    Planted bedding plants, runner beans, and did 3 pots with bedding plants
    Did dailies and put away winter jumpers into suitcase out of way in top of fitted wardrobes, so if it turns cold it's my fault!

    At the top of the reply box where all the bold/italic/colour etc tabs are is a tab with an 'S' that has been crossed out. You highlight the lines you want crossed out and then click on the 'S'.

    Suppose I should get off my bottom and get myself organised for tomorrow. I need to make breakfast and lunch, empty and re-pack my gym bag...
  • Not as much done today as the past couple of days but the house is still looking cleaner than it has in a long time!
